The Beatles To-do: You can HELP!:
As the project is currently just starting, our more experienced editors are working on the project infrastructure, classifying articles, and listing/assessing red links. Your assistance is welcome. If you would prefer to just edit - and why wouldn't you? - we have a choice selection of red links to turn blue and articles to clean! Now let's get busy.
Full list & instructions.
- Lists to complete:
- Wanted Pics/Graphics: Mal Evans, Flying (song), Astrid Kirchherr, Jimmy Nicol, Cynthia Powell, Alistair Taylor, Ivan Vaughan, Tittenhurst Park. We need a better open-licenced photo for the project, to replace the Abbey Road crossing. If you provide a photo, please remove the ReqPhoto tag from the article's talk page and remove the article from this list.
- Project Discussions: The Beatles history, Individual songs vs longer album articles, Beatle wives, Merge/split proposals
- Project: Add {{WPBeatles}} to the talk pages of all Beatles-related articles. Send a newsletter to members, canvas for new members, and coordinate tasks. Enter articles classed as stubs into this list (under To Expand) and also list articles needing cleaning and other work here.
If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list and add your achievement to the project log.

I have removed the following sentence from the article:
- Even though the wall is listed in tourist guide books and lots of people detour to see it, authorities do not seem to consider it an attraction and repainted it white in 1998.
I do not believe that the claim is accurate. Yes, it was repainted a few years ago. But it is still (legally, as far as I know) used for Lennon/Beatles/peace-related graffiti, and still an attraction of Prague. - Mike Rosoft 14:24, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
It was repainted by the owner, the order. There is nothing to see there now. Jan Vano, 11.11.2004
- I went there in summer 2004, so unless it has been re-repainted since then, there is an image of Lennon on it, but lower down and now largely obscured by graffiti, also it is in bright colours, not the mono image shown in the picture Boffy b 18:26, 2005 Feb 6 (UTC)
The wall was repainted several times. In few days the pictures (of Lennon, Yellow Submarines, flowers, etc) are always back.
