[edit] Purple Haze

I must point out that the main article picture of the 1967-1970 article is too pixilated and distorted to make out anything on the main front. I am going to correct this in good time. User:01kkk

Yes, I know Purple Haze is from JH.

[edit] Cover versions?

The articles for these two compilations include a paragraph that is identical in both, with this sentence:

Even though the group had had success with cover versions of songs, most notably with "Twist and Shout," which made #2 on the Billboard charts, only songs composed by the Beatles themselves were included.

While this sentence is appropriate for the first compilation, I'm not sure it's necessary for this article, as I don't think the Beatles recorded any cover versions of similarly great importance during the time period covered by this album. If they did, then a different example should be substituted here. Richard K. Carson 05:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.


The Beatles 1967-1970 → 1967-1970 — correct name of album (except for use of hyphen instead of en dash, per WP:DASH#Dash guidelines for Wikipedia editors) —PEJL 19:37, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
  • Oppose rename to 1967-1970 (The Beatles) instead, and rename the related to 1962-1966 (The Beatles). 70.55.86.83 14:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment: That defies WP:NC#Album titles and band names and WP:ALBUM#Naming which says not to disambiguate when not needed, and that if it is needed the disambiguation should include "album", making it 1967-1970 (The Beatles album). --PEJL 14:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I didn't really care much about this at first but I'm going to support the move. 1967-1970 is the correct title and a disambiguator is not needed as there is no other article or term called "1967-1970."[1] I was hesitant initially because 1967-1970 could be confused with the actual years named but, realistically, who would do a search for "1967-1970" and not have the Beatles album in mind. —  AjaxSmack  18:54, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Support, but more out of pragmatism than idealism. It needs to be the same naming standard as the red one and since that's now 1962-1966, one of them's got to change and if you go by the letter of the standards, 1962-1966 and 1967-1970 is the way to go. However I don't think it was really a practical concern under the old naming. I think most people would search for "The Beatles 1967-1970" rather than just "1967-1970" but so long as the former redirects to the new name (like "The Beatles 1962-1966" redirects to "1962-1966") it may as well go ahead.

    • Comment: Yes, they should ideally both use the same naming scheme. I considered proposing both at WP:RM, but since the discussion would need to occur at both talk pages, I thought that would be impractical. --PEJL 23:42, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:

As evidence in support of the move, 1962-1966 is already sans "The Beatles." —  AjaxSmack  22:53, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but I moved it just before I proposed this move (not knowing this move was blocked by edit history). --PEJL 23:09, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
My bust. I didn't check the edit history but the move is still a good idea. —  AjaxSmack  18:54, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

This article has been renamed from The Beatles 1967-1970 to 1967-1970 as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 20:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
