[edit] I Want To Hold Your Hand

Every time I nominate this, it goes down because only one or two people support, even though there aren't any objections. Here's hoping the third time's the charm for this self-nom. Johnleemk | Talk 11:28, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Object for now. I'd like to see more critical response and info on awards the song won, if any. The article says that the song did great in sales, but not much about what the music critics of the time were saying (just Bob Dylan). Did it get nominated for a grammy? Why or why not? There also isn't much about the song itself (two short paragraphs), and if possible, I'd like to see more there. Spangineer 13:54, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
  • Fixed. I couldn't find any opinions on why the song didn't win a Grammy, though. Johnleemk | Talk 18:02, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the updates, it looks alot better. I took the liberty to combine and rearrange the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of the section about the song itself to improve the flow, and with your changes and my minor change, I will support. Spangineer 18:00, Dec 12, 2004 (UTC)

• Support. Good stuff, except of course I worry that fair use images will be a problem someday. Also, did you really consult all of those references? Where were all of those for some of the other Beatles song articles that still have little to none? - Taxman 02:52, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
  • Yes, I took bits and pieces of information from here and there. The reason for this is that literature on this song (or literature that at least has a paragraph or two on it) is much easier to locate than others. The bulk of material was still gathered from my usual references, though. Johnleemk | Talk 03:10, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Support, though shouldn't it be "I Want to Hold Your Hand" (lower-case 't')? Tuf-Kat 04:26, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
• Brilliant. By which I mean, support. Fascinating, and I'm not even the biggest Beatles fan you'll ever meet (though I do love the Beatles)! - Ta bu shi da yu 06:00, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Support, one of the best single-song articles I've seen. Filiocht 08:39, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
• Support, love it. Fascinating reading. The only thing I'd say is I'd like to see a few inline references, especially when you quote someone. For example, when you quote Marsha Albert, the fan (what a great story that is), you say she said this "later," but don't say when or to whom. It would be good to see in brackets what the source is, or else as part of the text (Marsha later told xxx). But regardless, I support this article. Slim 11:17, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
• Support. Another great Beatles article from Johnleemk. --Szyslak 11:45, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
