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.

[edit] Text removed
I removed:
- Because the cover of Abbey Road featured the famous "28 IF" licence (implying that McCartney would be turning 28 IF he had been alive), he decided to airbrush an alternate shot from the photo session, modifying the plate accordingly, which now reads "58 IS" (Contary to popular belief, 58 was not McCartney's age when the album was recorded; he was only 50) as well as including a contemporary photo of himself walking Martha, his sheepdog immortalized in "Martha My Dear" in 1968.
Paul was only 50 in 1993.--Cuchullain 07:38, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
