| Hi everyone. I recently started to edit here, and I've noticed that there's been a lot of contention over the genre(s) listed in the infobox for The Beatles, various songs and albums, and also the members of the band. You're probably all aware of this, but this page may be a good place for a centralized discussion of the issue. ] 15:53, 16 August 2009 (UTC) | |||

| == Archive Bots == | |||
| I'm upset with whomever decided to make use to the archive bots to archive the talk pages, both here and at ]. Strangely, ''they're not even the same bots''! Either way, though, the bots do incremental archiving, which just makes things really hard to follow because they don't do it in any logical grouping. They simply wait for some threads to get old or some archive pages to get to a certain size threshold, and then they just archive random bits. Because it's an automated system, it makes mistakes when guessing where one section starts, and another one begins. And, as if that weren't bad enough, at least one of the bots went back and "consolidated" the archives that I had done by hand. This just screws up the history even more. | |||
| I don't know what to propose to make things better, as it would be quite a burden to go back and fix things by hand. I know how tedious it is to do it by hand, and I know that I'm obviously not always around to do it, but I am here to express my disdain for the new status quo. <span style="font-size: 110%;">—''']'''→<span style="font-size: larger;">]</span></span> 21:04, 2 September 2009 (UTC) | |||

| I posted the following at ] and am cross-posting it here, too: Considering the costs of the box sets, I'm surprised there's no controversy over the fact the Mono set omits the DVD bonus, as well as the remaining albums. Stereo or mono notwithstanding, it forces people to spend hundreds more if they want a complete canon, or having to deal with the stereo versions and skip this one if they want the full set plus the DVD. (I know when the boxes were announced I assumed the Mono set would include the mono mixes ''where applicable'' both otherwise be complete; when I found out otherwise I didn't bother buying either set). And in some places - Amazon.com for certain - the mono set is more expensive. Hasn't there been any criticism as to how this was handled? If so, it should be noted. On a related note, I have heard anecdotally that the Beatles releases are being called the last hurrah for the CD format. This too needs to be included in both this article and the Stereo set article, if a source can be located, of course. ] (]) 15:07, 22 September 2009 (UTC) | |||

Yoko and John's children
Hi, I hope this is not an insensitive thing to bring up, but should we maybe mention that Ono and Lennon named and registered their dead sons in 1968 and 1969? Her article refer to one miscarriage in 1968 but technically speaking this child would have been stillborn (or according to this book by Tim Riley the boy actually lived for a little while, not sure where he's getting that info from tho). John's article mentions three miscarriages but the boy miscarried or stillborn in 1969 seems to have been registered and named as well. ★Trekker (talk) 19:25, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
Peter and Gordon discography
Should the page be put under this project, given that some of the singles are Beatles-related? Blueskiesdry (talk) 17:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- No. Even then this WikiProject as a whole is practically dead so it wouldn't matter much anyways. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 18:32, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- If it’s dead should we add a semi-inactive/inactive template? Blueskiesdry (talk) 18:37, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- I'd gladly use this page if anyone else is still interested.★Trekker (talk) 06:01, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- I do think there’s still a lot to be done. A couple years ago we tried to get all the albums to GA/FA but it fizzled out due to lack of motivation. Blueskiesdry (talk) 13:10, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- Bummer. I'm not so familiar with album articles but I do like to do work on biographies.★Trekker (talk) 07:24, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

I propose that the article The Beatles' 1964 tour of Australia be renamed to “The Beatles 1964 tour of Australasia’’ as the “Down Under” tour zig-zagged across the Tasman from Sydney to Wellington, Auckland, Dunedin and Christchurch then back to Brisbane, so it is artificial to have a gap in the middle.

Need eyes at The Best of George Harrison
There is an IP edit warring to introduce content that I believe fails WP:RS. I've tried discussing at their talk page and also have started a section on the article's talk page about the matter. They seem unwilling to discuss further. I do not want to edit war over this (at least any more than has already occurred) and am involved so am requesting more eyes on this article. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 23:55, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
