replies: text:  This Article has merit, because Mark Allen Wilson, in life and in his death, was extremely unusual.  He entered into a raging gun battle and arguably saved the lives of several people, at the cost of his own.  Mark Wilson did so, not as a professional rescuer or policeman, but as a concerned citizen acting in his own private capacity to help others.  Because he was an American and lived in one of the many American states that allows citizens to carry concealed weapons, he could do so with a handgun.  A further edited and expanded article of the incident and Mark Wilson's actions through a neutral examination of facts has a value to all view points in the hotly contested debates involving violence in our society, the ownership of firearms and  their ethical use as a means of self defense or in defense of others.  While the facts of the incident might lead some to think Mark Wilson was a fool to intrude into a police incident, my personal feeling is that the Vikings would have immortalized Mark in song and saga, in a modern world he at least deserves a mention in Wikipedia. --Brian H 19:53, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Why deleted?

message: I am completely lost reading this article.  There is no background information, no explanation of who all these people are, no explanation of the events.  The article just starts with babel leaving the reader completely lost.  The articles title, which suggest its going to at least be a bio about someone, hardly says anything about Mark Allen Wilson.  Perhaps, if it is such a notable murder, the article should be moved to a page with the name of The Murder of Mark Allen Wilson one the article is cleaned up and brought to wikipedia standards.--Gephart 20:22, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As I continue to refine the article, I have addressed some of the issues raised above.  The facts are being drawn from multiple sources and the editting/citing process continues.  I am attempting to get more biographical information and public domain photos.--Brian H 21:24, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: completely lost

message: The article has been reverted to original text after nearly every referance to Mark Wilson had been deleted for unknown and unexplained reasons.  I left the article split for now, but the article had orginally been in two parts and was merged after some discussion recently.  Any thoughts?--Brian H 19:48, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unwarranted deletion of text 

message: As I noted on the talk page for this article back when it was Tyler Courtroom Shooting, the building where the incident took place is the Smith County Courthouse, NOT the "Tyler Courthouse." In addition, I question the accuracy of the word "shootout" in describing an incident that began as an attack on unarmed people. I therefore propose a move to Smith County Courthouse shooting, or at the very least lowercasing the word "courthouse" in the title. -- Hedgey42 17:07, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
