I'd started editing little things on a fairly short article, then realized I could really expand it. I found some great sources and used their information (not copying!) to develop a History section and to rewrite a lot of what's in the current article. After putting together my mega-revision in TextEdit, I noticed I was intending to pretty much gut about 80% of the current article and add all this stuff, and I'm worried what the previous contributors would think. Before I pull the trigger in the article's edit window, what should I do? Thanks for your help!

- As the link at the top of your talk page says, Be bold! If someone thinks your change needs work, you can discuss it. Don't be afraid to make changes--nothing is ever lost, so you can always change things back if need be. --Sopoforic 22:00, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
