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.

Ancient Aliens
You added a claim to the lede of Ancient Aliens, do you have a reliable source for that? Also, you marked that edit as minor, and I'm not sure that such additions are truly minor. I see that you may have a conflict of interest, could you please do take a look at that policy if you have not yet done so? The article has been subject to some contentious editing, so it might be better to make suggestions for changes on the article's talk page. --Nuujinn (talk) 19:01, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Ancient Aliens, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Hello Kevinbu. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. N o f o rmation Talk  06:06, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Ancient Aliens. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Ancient Aliens
Hi Mr. Burns,

As you are involved with this show it is probably not a good idea for you to be editing the article. The last edit you made removed sourced content and you accused it of being POV. WP:NPOV does not mean that things are treated nicely or fairly and from all points of view, but rather, NPOV means that we report what reliable sources report. In this case, the reliable sources have made certain accusations against your show, and so that is how the article will be presented insofar as it's relevant. If you have any questions about how to tread please see WP:COI or ask me. N o f o rmation Talk  06:13, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with this comment. It's also the case that we should not be adding our own thoughts or observations to articles, however much of an expert an editor might be. If you want to say that the show takes pains not to present information as the truth, you'll need to find a reliable source -- see WP:RS - that isn't directly connected to the show. If you do, discuss it on the article talk page, don't add it yourself. Dougweller (talk) 06:25, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
