Date of death[edit]

Cited article says Wilson died on March 24, but opening of Wikipedia article says March 23 75.39.143.68 (talk) 01:11, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Several good references are cited and can support many of the assertions made, but the references must be repeated at the appropriate points in the text. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:06, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please add the references that are missing in the article (where it says "citation needed"). Information that remains unreferenced must, unfortunately, be deleted. Please read these important policies: WP:V and WP:OR. Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:02, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Analysis and Reception sections missing[edit]

This article contains very little analysis of Wilson's works and little information about their reception. It should contain discussion of these matters, under headings like "Reception", sourced from reviews in newspapers, magazines and other critics. See Noel Coward for an example of how to write these. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:12, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note also that the lack of page numbers in the citations is a serious problem that makes the new information hard to verify. Please add page numbers as now requested in the footnotes. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:29, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Update[edit]

Thanks for the progress on the article. Some page numbers and citations still missing, but much better. -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:16, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article on Lanford Wilson needs a complete re-write. It is written from a peculiar point of view, over-emphasizing the writer's homosexuality. While it is true Wilson had his beginnings off-off-Broadway, this is also out of proportion to his considerable influence on the professional theater in the twentieth century. I would hope a scholar would step up to re-write this entry. Before his death in 2011, Wilson expressed to friends how disappointed he was with his Wikipedia biography.Mwmdei (talk) 16:28, 20 October 2014 (UTC) (talk)[reply]
