Sole authorship

I brought this over from Wikipedia. I am the sole contributor to the corresponding article there. (There were two edits by others; one fixed my wikisyntax and the other added a category that I have not copied over).

I have not been able to determine whether contributions like this, which merely duplicate my work at Wikipedia, are welcome here or not. I'm trying this one as an experiment. Please feel free to leave me a note on my user talk page (or to mail me) to let me know whether this is welcome or not: I've been getting mixed signals about that. If it is welcome, I probably have a few dozen of comparable quality where I'm the sole author that I'd be glad to contribute here. - Joseph L. Mabel 06:11, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Hobbies?

Why the "hobbies" workgroup? She was a professional aviator. I didn't go into the routine work of taking tourists up for sightseeing flights, test piloting, transporting new airplanes to their owners, etc., because she's famous for her record-setting exploits, not for being a working pilot. We could add this, but if she was far less a "hobbyist" than, for example, Lindbergh. -- Joseph L. Mabel 18:29, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
