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.

Does this really need to be a category? Bobyllib 23:07, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Need? No. But it helps organisation, and groups together articles about their pre-fame days for ease of navigation. What's the problem with it? --kingboyk 02:11, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- Just seems a little... excessive. Mind you the whole Wikipedia "OMFG Beatles" thing does really. -- Bobyllib 15:02, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- My thinking was really kinda the opposite - to put a few of the more peripheral articles out of the main category! Re your second statement: Assuming you actually like the Beatles, then join the WikiProject! Any reduction of fancruft, hyperbole or pointless stubs would be fine by me too. (We have nearly 600 articles, which is probably double what we need). --kingboyk 12:36, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
