Adding new material

I would like to add information about CT Torrey (about 1400 words). Is it okay to delete the heading "Biography" and substitute the following headings: "Education and early career," "Early work as an abolitionist," "Freeing slaves," "Prison and death," and "Assessment"? Or would it be better to use these as subheadings under "Biography"? Also, what is the best way to merge the existing text with the new text, i.e., is it ever possible to delete old text that would be redundant when the new text is added, or is it best to leave it as is? Thanks very much for your help. This is my first project except for some minor edits on one other Wikipedia page.Jmt2Jtm (talk) 13:43, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Adding sketch of CT Torrey

I've uploaded the sketch (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/File:Sketch_of_abolitionist_Charles_Turner_Torrey_%281813-1846%29.jpg) but am having trouble getting it onto the page. Would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you. Jmt2Jtm (talk) 02:54, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Largely based on one article?

I was looking for more information on Torrey, and I found this: self.gutenberg.org/articles/Charles_Turner_Torrey. It seems like this Wikipedia page copied much of this article in another encyclopedia. -Ezhao02 (talk) 05:23, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, it looks like that encyclopedia actually copies Wikipedia. My bad. -Ezhao02 (talk) 01:23, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
