Al Perkins could use a rewrite, but copying the text from the subject's website won't do the trick. Please be aware of WP:COPYVIO guidelines. Feel free to improve the article by writing it in your own words, using objective reliable sources, per WP:RELIABLE. Thank you, 76.248.149.47 (talk) 17:49, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nice start on finding reliable sources. Keep up the good work. 76.248.149.47 (talk) 12:00, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I'm not 100% sure that this is how to contact you guys, but here goes ... the message about needing additional citations etc to verify the content on Al Perkins is still showing despite the citations being in place. Can you please advise about removal of this message? Thank you Manassas77 (talk) 18:07, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Manassas, there are plenty of sources so I've removed the tag. Primefac (talk) 18:22, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Biographical Articles etc.

We still have the Biographical Articles header displaying on this page - can you advise on removal please? Manassas77 (talk) 15:26, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Al perkins.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Al perkins.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 20:49, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
