[edit] discography

i think, there should be a discography at least of his albums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.52.38.218 (talk) 15:40, 31 May 2008 (UTC)


Wasn't Carl Perkins' single Blue_Suede_Shoes written in '55? The article for the song says so, and 1955_in_music mentions chart action on March 7.

No, it's '56. Hey, the Brown and Roach Quintet used to have a piano player named Carl Perkins. Does anyone know if this is the same guy?

No, it's not the same man. Someone needs to do an article on the pianist Carl Perkins. Played with Harold Land/Clifford Brown, etc.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CPerkins.JPG

Image:CPerkins.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:01, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Living Person?

Er, Perkins died in 1998. Living Persons means someone is still alive, doesn't it? Steve Pastor 00:50, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I am removing the living person tag, since no one has come forward to agrue against doing so. Steve Pastor 21:17, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Strange that someone would add it. You should have removed it immediately per WP:BOLD.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 21:05, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent "This part of the thing is awful!" edit

In fact, in my opinion, information about so and so and their friendship it is not suitable at all. I deleted it once, and it was reinstated by the same individual that had inserted it in the first place. I am not interested in edit wars, so I only removed (again) the most obvious out of place information. If you agreee that the information about being Perkins' friend is out of place, please delete it. I would agree with that edit. Steve Pastor 21:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
