[edit] Templates and John Cardinal
If anyone is interested User:John Cardinal has created some alternative templates on his userpage. Whilst I have no problem with current templates his seem logical and clear, and it may give the project a slightly different look to other similar subjects (whether this is good or bad, I have no opinion).

- I have looked at them, and they look great - very easy to read, and logical. andreasegde 16:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Not bad, but I'm not too keen on the Studio Albums section. I've tried an alteration but it didn't help much. There's too much white space for my liking. Perhaps a list seperated by middots would be better, with the removal/merger of the Past Masters section too? I just think that part of the template is too large. --kingboyk 16:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Anything that gets away from a pile up of centered text seems an improvement to me! Nice work John and thanks! ++Lar: t/c 16:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- kingboyk: There is a lot of white space in the studio albums part. One of my goals was to make vertical lists, and given many wikipedia users won't have large monitors, I tried to minimize the amount of horizontal text without making the navbox to tall. I have some ideas about what to do, but no good ones! :-) John Cardinal 05:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The life of, err... Brian
As Brian Epstein is almost ready for GA, it would be nice if editors would scan it and look for anything untoward, blatantly silly, or just gramatically hopeless. That dick with the girl's name 21:27, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- Brian is now up for a GA, and if he doesn't get one, I will eat the hat of any concerned editor (with curry sauce and mushy peas, of course...) "Urgghh", say them blokes from "darn sarf" and across the pond... A person with very strange ideas about food 20:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Joe Orton
First I knew of this man, or of the great Gary Oldman, was when I watched Prick Up Your Ears a good few years ago now. I happened to be looking at the article just recently because I was trying to explain to someone from the USA who Kenneth Williams was! One thing leads to another, six degrees of separation and all that! This bloody wiki is addictive! Anyway - I tagged Orton's article and that of his rejected play.. I was surprised they weren't alreayd tagged tbh. -- Mal 20:46, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Mal, you should have used that as a quiz question! What a wasted opportunity :(
- Seriously though, I've never heard of him, and the article doesn't scream out "Beatles" to me. I don't think he's within scope. I might be wrong - it has been known! --kingboyk 20:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Disgusted
I came back here to see when Brian Epstein would be granted a GA. It has not, because nobody could be bothered to to fix the little problems that were raised by the reviewer. This is disgusting, and confirms my belief that The Beatles project is nothing more than a bunch of loud-mouthed pedantic control freaks who can not be bothered to carry out the simplest of tasks, but prefer to write reams and reams of self-important drivel about their own opinions. You should all hang your heads in shame. andreasegde 18:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah! What he said! :P --Mal 22:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
