Re: Too late

I agree about Wikipedia, but your source actually says the same thing:

"A semicolon can also be used when connecting two independent clauses with conjunctive adverbs, e.g., however, therefore, thus, otherwise, etc. When beginning the second independent clause after a semicolon, do not use a capital."

I considered my "but" to be a conjunctive adverb since it was a shorter substitute for "however". That may or may not be valid - I'll leave it to the experts
