Article content location

Suggest including this on the Beatles page or on a Beatles miscleaneous topics page.

There are a bunch of articles about Beatles songs...they should probably go on their respective albums' articles though. Adam Bishop 05:53, 6 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I don't see a problem with well-done articles on particular, notable songs; care needs to be taken not to repeat too much of the information already present in the album or artist listing, though. Jgm 15:44, 7 Oct 2003 (UTC)

This is a very good article, and I also see nothing wrong with articles on important and well-known songs, but this article, in my opinion, goes well beyond the scope of the song "The Long and Winding Road". Perhaps the information not directly related to the song could go on a separate breakup of the Beatles page? I'm sure a lot of other information could be added to such a page. Or else make a clear "Breakup" section in the History of the Beatles article, and transfer some of this information there? -R. fiend 16:07, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I've done an edit with R.'s comments in mind; specifically I've tried to limit the material to the song, with just enough framing info for context. Much of what I cut out would be a valuable addition to the Let It Be article, I think, or, as R. suggests, the History of the Beatles article. I've also made some general structure and wording changes and copy edits and added some material from a primary source (Lewishon's book). There are still some awkward bits (ie. the explanation of the difference between the Billboard and Cashbox charts) that could use fixing.


To quote: "McCartney claimed that his longstanding dissatisfaction with the released version of "The Long and Winding Road" (and the entire Let It Be album) was the catalyst for his decision." But isn't a catalyst something that speeds a process up? How can longstanding dissatisfaction, thirty years or so, be a catalyst? Brendanfox 04:07, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Break up reasons

What were the other five reasons he cited in court to break up the Beatles? -Rwv37 05:38, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)
