Below is the confirmation from Patrick Thompson that I may use his text/ photos from the url's listed.

Have I "done good"?

---

- COPYRIGHT: I emailed Patrick Thompson asking if I can use some text and photos for which he is the copyright holder (including the relevant links in the email) in the wikipedia article. He said that I could and I emailed his answer to permissions-en@wikipedia.org and permissions-commons@wikipedia.org (please find the content of the email below).
- ISSUE: Does the email cover what I need? If not please explain what I can do. I'm not sure if I have the correct license information in the email to/from Patrick.
- NOTABILITY: Patrick is an artist of note and reputation in his field (street art/ graffiti) certain in North America and to an extent internationally.
Thank you in advance!

I hope the consent below is sufficent, if it is not please tell me - as simply as possible :) - what I need from Patrick. Regards!

Dear Patrick Thompson,

Why does this person even have a wiki page? As far as a google search can tell - it's just some guy show makes art in cool places. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.33.61.7 (talk • contribs) 00:54, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Contest edited and sources cited

Hello,

For some reason the template messages still appear at the top of the wikipedia page I have edited even when a decent amount of external links and sources were cited. Will this usually go away after a number of days or is there something else I should be doing to correct it?

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by PatrickBKThompson (talk • contribs) 12:21, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

@PatrickBKThompson: External links have to be removed before we can remove that maintenance tag. I just moved two out of the intro to the bottom of the article; I need to see what other cleanup is needed. The other tags will stay until independent editors have reviewed the article and are sure the issues have been addressed. —C.Fred (talk) 14:26, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Move and rename as a page about the collaboration

I'm going to move and rename as a page about the collaboration because he is not notable, though the collaboration is. #Gendergap. This was what the AfD ended up recommending anyway.--Theredproject (talk) 02:45, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
