Article Grading:
The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit ยท refresh)
A stub, possible merge candidate. Talk page says the article creator actually intended it for Wiktionary! We need to document the Beatles' vitally important Hamburg residencies, but I don't think this article is too great on its own. A photo of the Exys may be too much for ask for.--Steve (5 April 2006)

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, Tony Barrow. 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.

Sorry, I meant it to be in Wiktionary, but when I searched Wiktionary I ended up here by mistake. I have in fact put the same article in Wiktionary. --PeterR 18:15, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Is the spelling "Exy" really attested in German? I can only find "Exi".
I've seen both spellings - it seems to be one of these terms that's heard more often than actually seen written down. I agree though that it's unlikely in German for Exy to be the more common spelling. Grutness|hello? 02:07, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Were they only Beatles fans
This article implies that the exies were a small social group who became Beatles fans. My understanding was that young Germans at that time styled themselves either as "rockers" or "exies", so the exies were in fact a rather large group of people, like beatnicks in the US. Am I mistaken?
