The Beatles instruments
[edit]Since you are pretty up on what they did in the studio, do you have any data on what instruments each member generally used on a year to year or album to album basis. If you have, could you drop a line at talk:The Beatles in the instrumentation discussion. Ta. LessHeard vanU 23:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Hottest issue or concern for this month is the perennial matter of Project articles losing their Good or Featured Article status. The main Project page now includes a status board that gives the current ratings of some of the more important articles. Let's make sure the core articles (The Beatles, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr) reach or retain Good Article status, if not Featured Article. If you are aware of another major article whose status is at risk, add it to the board.
Since there has been no response in the matter of the use of lowercase for the initial letter of the when applied with Beatles from the opponents, it is likely that the case for using lowercase only will be adopted as Project policy by default. User:LessHeard vanU will draw up a recommendation and submit it to the Policy talkpage in a few days.
We are pleased to welcome the contributions of Alexcalamaro to this newsletter. Any editor can include an item of interest or news; this medium can be an excellent tool for getting a comment seen by a great number of project members. As it says below, this is your newsletter. If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired.

See below. There is genuine concern that the Newsletter is getting stale in terms of content and variety, and that the same individuals are featured each month. Furthermore, lack of "news" is hindering the timely distribution as the editors wait for something to report. All Project editors are encouraged to give their news, suggestions and thoughts to keep the 'Letter vital and interesting. If making direct contributions do not appeal, please give a mention on the Newsletter talkpage and it will be incorporated!
Help is needed for the job of putting future Newsletters together. The present incumbent is finding it difficult to reflect the breadth of the Project, focusing on much the same individuals and articles each month, and has decided to beg for contributions from other individuals. Interested persons need only start working on next months issue to qualify. It really is that simple! If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy! Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue (Issue 012 – April 2007). Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!

Apart from the usual vandals, there is an ongoing problem with Wikipedia editors deleting free and fair-use photos because they don't think they are of any value to articles, even though this sometimes leaves articles with no photos at all. These editors do not leave notes on talk pages, so if you see that a photo has vanished, check the talk page and the history log.
It's been a while, but the newsletter's back! After a short discussion on the project talk page, seemingly unanimous consensus to bring it back was reached. This issue, and subsequent ones, will probably be shorter - as we kept running out of things to say before! There's a lot to say this month, purely due to the long absence of a newsletter, but we'll keep it as brief as possible. In order to get delivery by Denbot sorted, the special delivery interface has been changed slightly - but existing delivery options still stand. Inactive participants who want delivery should place their names on this list. If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy!

[edit]Yes folks, it’s the The time again. You might like to add your opinion (whatever it may be) on this page.--andreasegde (talk) 14:49, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to bring this up, but as you signed under "the Beatles", I thought you may have got the wrong list, as you have "I'm interested in computers, photography, popular science, cricket, The Beatles and trivia", on your front page.--andreasegde (talk) 16:21, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
- I've changed my mind about the usage; on the Beatles website, there's an article by Derek Taylor - he used "the Beatles" throughout, as he was the band's official spokesman it seems that "the Beatles" was the form preferred by the band, so I'd argue that's what we should use. Apepper (talk) 20:02, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply, but maybe you should change your front page line to the Beatles to reflect that. I wish you the best, Beatles' fan. :)--andreasegde (talk) 00:17, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

The great 'The/the debates' return. Just a glance at The Beatles' talk page will show you the massive amount of space this trivial issue takes up. Some editors have chosen to boycott these debates entirely, and we now have two separate entries in WP:LAME - The 'The/the debates' and the 'member order feud'. Consensus to use a capital 'T' was reached in a straw poll. Editors are reminded not to change the case of the 'T' without first changing consensus.

The Beatles' influence on music recording / The Beatles' recording technology
[edit]![](http://178.128.105.246/content-http-upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/Music_barstar4.png)
Damn good stuff. I see you've been working on that for almost two years now so you deserve another award. It's an interesting idea and an article well worth doing. I've changed the name to make it fit more accurately with what it is. I might drop in on it later to help you build up the references and give it some shape. In the meantime, keep up the good work! SilkTork *YES! 01:51, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for the award! Much appreciated - I'm not sure about the new title; having read Geoff Emerick's autobiography, I was planning to add a section about the change of attitude from classical musicians to "pop" music. Emerick considers that one of the biggest "things" about the Beatles, but it wouldn't fit in to the music technology title.
Apepper (talk) 21:03, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps use the material in The Beatles article itself? Though take care that the views given reflect a wide consensus. The difficulty with "influence" and opinion, is that unless the views are widely accepted and notable, they may not fit into Wikipedia's remit. Emerick's knowledge about The Beatles recording techniques are valuable, though I am less certain about the authority of any of his personal speculations about changes of musical attitude. Are you talking about his "Here, There and Everywhere" book? That has received a lot of criticism in some quarters - [4]. SilkTork *YES! 22:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
That's the book, but most of the criticism has been that he actually remembered very little about recording the Beatles and he had to look to other sources to "remind" himself of what happened! OTOH, there isn't a lot of documentation about the changing attitudes between classical & pop musicians & Emerick did notice th difference. I'll also have a look at George Martin's autobiography, to see if he said much about the change in attitude. Apepper (talk) 23:35, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

The article The Beatles Wit has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Personal essay, WP:Synthesis, about the rather unencyclopedic fact that the Beatles, like many people, had a sense of humor. Suitable for an article in an entertainment magazine, but probably not here.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:58, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
Articles for deletion nomination of The Beatles Wit
