I am studying the life of John Graham of Claverhouse, 1st Viscount of Dundee.  I am currently reading 2 books on his life.

1.  "Viscount Dundee", by Louis Auguste Barbe', published by Oliphant, Anderson and Farrier, 1903, ("Famous Scots Series")

2.  "Graham of Claverhouse", by Ian McLaren, 1907.  Historical Fiction.

3.Wikipedia has him born 1648-1689, not 1494-1547 as WikiTree Profile suggests.  The Louis Barbe' book verifies the 1649 birth date

I would like to add these as Sources, for the facts contained therein, and add to the Biography as well.

My sources show he was born pre-1700, not pre-1500.  

How do I obtain permission to make these changes?

You will note in the Comments below the profile that member Rob Graham appears to be doing some research in advance of some possible updates on the profile. I would suggest that you coordinate with Rob and also the Scotland Project.  ~ T Stanton, Scottish Clans Protocol Team

Looking In the Changes log, it shows that it was recently updated by Dawn, but Jen added the update in because Dawn is not pre 1500 certified.

Add your sources and information to comment section of that profile so others researching that profile can check out the sources you indicated. Are either of them online?
I think you may be looking at the wrong person.  See Linda's answer for a link to the one you need.

You are looking at the wrong profile. Viscount Dundee's profile is at [[Graham-10163|John (Graham) First Viscount of Dundee (abt.1648-1689)]]. It has the correct dates and appears to have good sources. Before making any changes, please check with the profile manager, Dawn Britz. Consider joining the Scotland Project and take the Tartan Trail training if you are interested in working on people from Scotland.

I agree with all who have pointed out I was looking at the wrong profile.  I mistook Claverhouse with Dundee.  I will be more diligent in the future.  I have learned more from this site in the last month than in many years' of research before.  The reason is WikiTree is a community whose desire is to educate its contributors so as to keep the community tree as accurate as possible.  Thanks to all who have aided me.

I have added the book "Viscount Dundee" by Louis Barbe as a source for John Graham 1st Viscount Dundee in the "See Also" section. Thank you for that.
