I agree, feel free to add any information you think is appropriate that isn't replicated in The Alan Parsons Project. :) Mallocks 09:15, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Alan Parsons - Try Anything.jpg

Image:Alan Parsons - Try Anything.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.

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 19:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Early life

I have rewrote the lead to emphasize his important contributions (notability), and moved some info into an "Early life" section, but I'm a copyeditor, not a researcher. It would be so very nice if someone were to expand this new section with more info about Alan's childhood & etc., don't you think? :) Eaglizard 23:57, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
