Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to The Beatles (including Apple Records). This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and/or see the to-do list.

The Beatles are the quintessential pop/rock group, indisputably the most celebrated and influential in history and arguably the most popular (as measured by several metrics: number of #1 hits, total sales, Beatlemania, etc). There is already a considerable number of articles on The Beatles on Wikipedia, of varying levels of quality and depth. These range from featured articles such as Real Love (Beatles song) down to stubs of the lowest quality. This project seeks to marshall the efforts of interested editors to improve and unify these articles and to raise the overall standard of Beatles coverage on Wikipedia. For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

[edit] Project scope

The scope of the project is articles about The Beatles and their work, and people and things directly related to - or who have achieved a significant part of their notability through their connection to - The Beatles as a group and individually.

[edit] Featured Article drive

Periodically project members collaborate on an article to bring it to or save its Featured Article status.

The current collaboration is Paul McCartney.

[edit] Nominations

Nominations for future collaborations once Paul McCartney has been promoted can be made here.

  1. George Harrison. --kingboyk 11:46, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  2. Apple Corps. --kingboyk 11:46, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  3. The Beatles, of course. I think that whilst there's a reasonably solid article lurking there, we need to be bold and rebuild the article in line with current best practice. I will start making some notes on this at Talk:The Beatles/to do#Returning this to FA status. --kingboyk 18:03, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
  4. John Lennon - I think he's more notable in the Beatles picture overall than Harrison, and McCartney even. LuciferMorgan 23:25, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
  5. The Beatles (album) - I feel this is one of the key points of Beatles history. 01kkk 20:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  6. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - This has to be collaborated because of its focality in Beatles history. This is where they truely changed. 01kkk 20:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Log

The achievements of the WikiProject so far are recorded at Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles/Log.

[edit] Structure

Please discuss on the talk page. Should all album articles be unified? Should a timeline be constructed? What about minor characters?

[edit] Goals

Please discuss on the talk page or be bold and add some!

  1. Unify and improve articles about albums
  2. Unify and improve articles about the 4 main Beatles
  3. Unify and improve song articles
  • Placeholder comment: I'm looking at consolidation, improvement, cruft removal (i.e. minutae, fan gush, non verifiable speculation innuendo and rumour). Some good sense re songs, with a nod to the fact that song notability is being discussed elsewhere (and perhaps the WikiProject should have its own guidelines) --kingboyk 07:53, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Projects

  1. Compile a list of current and missing articles, and catalogue them by status - see Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles/Article Classification and Wikipedia:WikiProject_The_Beatles#Wikipedia_articles_on_The_Beatles
  2. Restore The Beatles to, and upgrade History of The Beatles to, featured article status. Alternative approaches (see Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles/The Beatles history):
    • Seek peer review, and 'tweak'
    • Plan the article stucture anew and major edit. Maybe History can be merged back in, and less substantial stuff forked out.
  3. insert other projects (big jobs) here from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject The Beatles

[edit] Tasks

  1. Invite new members, by contacting editors who have made substantial Beatles related edits in the past
  2. Fix templates to talk pages
    • To do this one, does anyone have a suggestion as to how to develop a list of the articles to do this to? There are so many different partial sets (the categories help). Or should an article only get the tagging as it is reviewed by one of us and improved? ++Lar: t/c 21:12, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Yep, use What Links Here for the Beatles template, as discussed elsewhere on this (ever growing) page. That'll locate every article which uses the template, and any not properly categorised articles can be dealt with at the same time. But please don't mess up the lovely cat tree I spent a lot of time tidying :)
    If you're gonna do it, and if you're gonna do it in a web browser, might be best to reset your link cache first? Then you can see where you've been and where you haven't. With the cats, subcats and the template usage you'll find most articles more than once. --kingboyk 21:48, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
  3. Construct Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles/Article Classification by following the category 'tree'(what that means is update this table: Wikipedia:WikiProject_The_Beatles/Categories as the automated code reads it and using what links here for the Beatles template. Can do the talk page notices at the same time.
  4. Assess articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles/Article Classification
  5. Apple Records discography - Needs British LPs and singles, and US LPs. Needs restructuring. I'd propose using the Brit catalog as the basis, and having only those releases which are different in the US section. This might not be practical, however, if the cat. no.s are different (they are for the singles, not sure for the albums).
    Blue links need to be checked for and, if they aren't already, added to Category:Apple Records singles or Category:Apple Records albums, and the same for The Beatles/solo members singles/albums categories.
  6. Add specific fair use rationales to Beatles-related copyrighted images, especially album covers (see Image:LetItBe.jpg for example).
  7. Add the geographic coordinates of Beatles significant places as : Tittenhurst Park, Savile Row, Abbey Road, Friar Park, etc. As already exist for the Shea Stadium.
  8. insert other tasks (smaller jobs) here from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject The Beatles

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

Ideally we need to compile a table/list of all Beatles related articles, and divide into 'keep', 'keep needs attention', 'merge', 'nominate for deletion'; with a further entry for 'missing articles' (red links).

That effort is underway, see Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles/Article Classification for what's been classified so far and to update ratings/opinions of articles.

[edit] Article creation instructions

You're starting a new article? Great! Please follow these instructions:

  • Add the new article to the appropriate subcategory of Category:The Beatles, or to the parent category if most appropriate
  • Add any appropriate template to the article, such as an album or single infobox
  • Place a {{WPBeatles}} template on the new article's Talk page
  • If the article is listed as a redlink on the to-do list please remove it from that list
  • If the article needs a photo and you don't have one, place a {{Reqphoto}} template on the talk page and add the article to "Wanted Pics/Graphics" on the the to-do list
  • List the article in the appropriate category on the Article Classification list. Don't classify it yourself, it's best if we classify each other's articles not our own
  • Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Wikipedia page. DYK has a 120 hour time limit (from the creation of the article, not the nomination).
  • Finally (hooray!) record your wonderful achievement on the Project Log

[edit] Quiz

Please go to Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles/Quiz for a quiz about the Beatles in general.

[edit] Templates

There are a lot of useful templates that may be relevant, infoboxes, notification boxes, and so forth. If you know of resources not listed here please add them.!

[edit] Infoboxes

There are several useful infoboxes that are relevant to this project, as the project covers a large number of types of articles.

[edit] Infobox Band

[edit] Infobox Biography

[edit] Infobox Album

  • The Beatles produced albums, together and individually. So the {{Infobox Album}} template is likely to be useful. Hopefully most relevant articles have it already by now, but this is something to check for. You can use it this way: {{Infobox Album }} Some examples:

In addition to the writeup on the talk page of the infobox, the WikiProject Albums page has some discussion on how to effectively use these, color coding, and what some of the fields mean and so forth, as well as larger guidance on how Album pages ought to be done (how the track list is formatted, dates, usages, and so forth).

Some important points copied from that page: When you create or find a new album page, please add {{Album}} to the top of the talk page. If the page has no infobox, you should use {{Album|needs-infobox=yes}} instead. If the page has an incomplete infobox, note the missing details at Incomplete infobox. If the page has an old style infobox, add {{newinfobox|type=album}} to the bottom of the talk page.

[edit] Infobox Single

  • The Beatles produced singles, together and individually. So the {{Infobox Single}} template is likely to be useful. Hopefully most relevant articles have it already by now, but this is something to check for. You can use it this way: {{Infobox Single}} Some examples:

Note that the template supports ordering of singles by when they charted.


[edit] Stub templates

{{beatles-song-stub}} lists articles in Cat:The Beatles song stubs. There are currently about 120 songs listed, though some of these are songs recorded by the members of the band as soloists after 1970.

NOTE: stubs are managed by the Stub-sorting WikiProject. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. See Wikipedia:Stub for general guidelines on creating stub templates and categories. It is inadbisable to create new stub templates without consultation as these will probably be nominated for deletion.

[edit] Membership template

You can place this template on your userpage to show project membership

This user is a member of WikiProject The Beatles, a WikiProject which aims to expand and improve coverage of The Beatles on Wikipedia. Please feel free to join us.
Abbey Road... This user is in the picture... somewhere!

by including this text: {{WikiProject The Beatles}}

Alternatively, (or in addition), you can place this userbox on your userpage to show project membership

This user is a member of
Wikiproject: The Beatles.




by including this text: {{Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles/Userbox}}

Placing one of these on your pages is entirely optional but is a way to show your involvement to others... that's good for the project as we have lots of work to do!

[edit] Invitation template

If you see someone that might have an interest in the project, you can place this template on their userpage to invite them.

Hi! I've seen you around on Beatles articles... Would you consider becoming a member of WikiProject The Beatles, a WikiProject which aims to expand and improve coverage of The Beatles on Wikipedia? Please feel free to join us.
Abbey Road... You're not in this picture... yet!
Todo:

by including this text: {{WikiProject The Beatles Invite}}

  • DO put some commentary below it, explaining WHY they might be interested, and sign. Alternatively, you may leave a message and sign within the template by supplying an optional parameter
  • DO NOT spam people extensively, give it some thought first and don't invite too many people at once.

It makes sense to grow the project participation slowly so use with care. But it's a fun template, a bit more attention grabbing than just a note.

[edit] Article Template

Place this template in the talk page of an article that you think belongs in the project:




   This Beatles-related page is within the scope of The Beatles WikiProject, a collaborative effort to improve and expand Wikipedia coverage of The Beatles, Apple Records, George Martin, Brian Epstein/NEMS, and related topics.

Musicologist Allan W. Pollack has taken an in-depth look at each of the Beatles' songs from a musicological point of view. Wordy, but with a lot of meat, and definitely helpful in adding length to articles on songs - also useful to add as an external link to song articles.
