The Beatles To-do: You can HELP!: Open tasks for WikiProject The Beatles. Edit or discuss these tasks. 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. To Expand: Apple Records See also: Adopt an article To Clean up: Apple Records discography (wikify). The Beatles' 1965 USA Tour. To Merge: To Create: Phil McDonald (engineer). Lennon/McCartney songs: I'll Keep You Satisfied (produced by George Martin), From A Window. George Martin produced Billy J. Kramer song: Magic Carpet (song). Songs covered by The Beatles: Hippy Hippy Shake. The Big Three. Bag o'Nails, where Paul met Linda. Macca single: My Brave Face. Articles on each Beatle tour (Category:The Beatles tours).

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.

If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list and add your achievement to the project log.

[edit] Consolidation

I have consolidated as many varients of the title as I could find, redirecting the others here. I then rewrote the article using information gleaned from them all and adding substantial new work of my own. B00P 08:14, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

And Bo Weevil Jackson what? Please expand. B00P 06:17, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template

{{WikiProjectSongs}} removed, {{WPBeatles}} contains same functionality

I disagree with this. The importance and topic coverage of an article relating to the Beatles and relating to songs in general may be very different. (For example if this article left out all mention of the Beatles, it would be be poor for that project, but still a fairly good article about the song in general.) As long as this is not going to be a Beatles related only article, I think both projects header should be here-- as is done with a number of other articles relevent to more than one project. -- Infrogmation 16:41, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

It's a technical statement and so is 100% true :) The Beatles template with song=yes displays the text "This article is also within the scope of WikiProject Songs, an attempt to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to songs on Wikipedia." and places this article in the categories Category:WikiProject Song articles, Category:B-Class song articles and Category:Articles in need of Song Infoboxes. That said, it's not meant to be controversial and as this article isn't about specifically a Beatles song by all means turn the feature off. Just remove song=yes and hey presto :) Pretty cool stuff if I say so myself! --kingboyk 16:51, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

P.S. With regards to importance, the Songs WikiProject don't currently assess for importance. However, {{WPBeatles}} has a song-importance parameter by which the importance to the Songs WikiProject can be assessed seperately from the importance to the Beatles Project, should the former wish to start assessing importance. --kingboyk 16:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I do not agree with this song being placed only under the Beatles banner as it is not primarily known as a Beatles song. This isn't a "She Loves You" situation. 23skidoo 18:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

It's got nothing to do with ownership, only scope. But, anyway, with pleasure I'll change it back. --kingboyk 18:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I never saw it as an ownership question myself. It was more a case of it being a bit confusing. I think this particular usage of the Beatles project banner (with song "yes") should be reserved for songs either written by or strongly associated with the Beatles. 23skidoo 18:22, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I believe that 23skidoo is spot on correct. I have placed the "Song" Template above the "Beatles." It is certainly less jarring to see them in this order. -B00P 04:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
