[edit] Paul Version

Is there a reason for the information about the Paul version being deleted? I'm not sure specifically what text has that, but a link was provided to a website with that information. It seems like that would be an important part in the song's history, unless there is proof against the bootleg version being authentic McCartney/Beatles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.125.122.9 (talk) 01:57, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] number of words?

When in the song do they say "know"? --128.164.73.92 14:09, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

"You know I want you so bad / It's driving me mad" John Cardinal 18:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2d and 3d?

Is the use of "2d generation" and "3d generation" deliberate? "2nd" and "3rd" are the usual English abbreviations, but I haven't changed them in case "2d" and "3d" are conventions in Beatles discussion. 86.132.142.2 00:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cover?

Should this line be moved under the 'Covers' heading? Or is it a legit recording because George Harrison accompanied him? "This song was covered by Alvin Lee (formerly of Ten Years After) for his album "1994". George Harrison accompanied Alvin on slide guitar on this re-make."

[edit] Genre?

The article mentions the song's 'hard-rock sound' Why isn't it then creditied as hard rock and not just rock? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheHungryHun (talk • contribs) 05:15, 30 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Ending?

I was under the impression that the ending was not deliberate but they ran out of tape.

Yeah, it was. There's a quote by Paul McCartney somewhere about how the ending was a "complete accident-- typical Beatles". I'll have to find the source and add it in. 68.183.182.60 (talk) 21:13, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

The tape would have run out at 8:04, but Lennon deliberately chose the abrupt ending at 7:44. Perhaps he got the idea from the tape running out. Anyway, see Lewisohn, Mark (1988). The Beatles Recording Sessions. New York: Harmony Books, 191. ISBN 0-517-57066-1. 

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:I want you.ogg

Image:I want you.ogg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
