I tried to post William Albert Wirt today, and kept being redirected to William Wirt; the General.
William Albert Wirt was the best Superintendent of schools, that started the Platoon System.
I had to list him under, Superintendent William Albert Wirt .
Is there anyway, that it can be changed to just William Albert Wirt, without conflicts with William Wirt the General?

Hello, This isn't quite the right list for your question - the English Wikipedia list (wikien-l) would be better. But anyway!
To modify a redirect (which is what you want to do), go to [[William Albert Wirt]], then click on the link in "Redirected from William Albert Wirt". You can modify the redirect to point to whatever you like.
Note that in this case since that's the valid full name of both people, it may not be the best choice - up to you. In either case, I suggest you use one of the disambiguation link templates listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Dablink to refer people back and forth between the two articles.
