GA reassessment of Astrid Kirchherr

I have reassessed the above article and found a few concerns which are at Talk:Astrid Kirchherr/GA1. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 16:14, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Fixed.--andreasegde (talk) 16:58, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Genre Changes

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. Deserted Cities 15:53, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

GA reassessment of Cynthia Lennon

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found some concerns with the article which you can see at Talk:Cynthia Lennon/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:26, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

You should read his review and spot the awful spelling mistakes.--andreasegde (talk) 07:53, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

I have cleaned it it and have nominated it again.--andreasegde (talk) 09:15, 12 October 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 Talk:The Beatles. 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. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 21:04, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Those considering this question may wish to take into account this bot problem that occurred today. Some manual archiving is said to be needed in relation to certain page content. PL290 (talk) 15:22, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Apple Records discography

I notice the Apple Records discography is listed here as requiring a cleanup. I recently did a complete revamp of the article and would be interested to know what the WikiProject members think about it. Can anymore be done to improve it? Would be interested to know what your thoughts are. Jordansongs 00:40, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Current events portal

I've added a note the to the current events portal entry for today. It may need to be spruced up with more direct wikilinks or better verbiage or sources. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 18:08, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

No controversy over omitted material in the Mono set?

I posted the following at The Beatles in Mono 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. 68.146.81.123 (talk) 15:07, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Side selections

Someone is screwing up the side selections for the individual Beatle albums. For example with Magical Mystery Tour an editor insists on making the first track of side two selection 7 when it obviously should be selection 1. I have never seen a side two label which lists the first track as number 7. Please monitor the album articles to make sure each side begins with track one. Steelbeard1 (talk) 16:27, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

I think it may be the CD issues that are causing someone to think this change should be made, as CDs of course don't have two sides. A quick glance at my old 1987 Sgt. Pepper shows tracks 1-13, and Revolver shows tracks 1-14. Perhaps some kind of note (or hidden comment) should be made in the articles, explaining that the side selections relate to the vinyl originally issued. PL290 (talk) 17:43, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Someone is trying to make MMT an original British LP.

Despite a warning given to User talk:96.250.145.195, he is still counting Magical Mystery Tour as an original British LP. Please monitor the individual British Beatle album articles to make sure he does not correct the album numbering sequence again. Steelbeard1 (talk) 11:24, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Live! at the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany; 1962 GA Review

The article has been assessed for GA status and simply needs the lead expanding to meet the requirements in WP:Lead, and some additional background information to explain more fully the presence of The Beatles in Hamburg. I am putting the article on hold for seven days to allow this to be done. The nominator and main contributor has not logged Misplaced Pages since 16 September. If I get time I will do the work myself, but I am currently quite busy on and off wiki, and any assistance would be welcome. SilkTork * 12:48, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

The work has been done and the article is now a Good Article. SilkTork * 12:35, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

The Maharishi and The Beatles

The Beatles has about 200 words devoted to the relationship between the group and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. the Maharishi's article has about 400 words on the topic. The McCartney article has a 160-word section. Lennon has a few lines adding up to about 75 words. Harrison has an 18-word sentence. No mention at all on the Starr article. My impression is that, with each of these articles, more could be said but the coverage is limited by weight considerations. If there was a standalone article it could be more like 500-1000 words. It's a fairly discrete topic and well-covered in sources, so it could be suitable for an article. Thoughts?   Will Beback  talk  12:43, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

A new edit war.

User talk:Das Ansehnlisch is edit warring concerning content he is trying to change in the Past Masters (The Beatles albums) by removing critical details essential to the article about the songs in this compilation double album. Please investigate. Steelbeard1 (talk) 14:26, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Book:Beatles vs. Book:The Beatles

Currently these seem to be overlapping and the scope of these article collections are ill-defined. Should one be merged with the other? Should they be renamed to something which makes their scope clear? Headbomb {_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 05:18, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
