There is some biographical information about Bill Harry at http://triumphpc.com/mersey-beat/about/founders-story.shtml , if it's helpful to someone interested in editing this article. Harry was also hired as Led Zeppelin's PR man by their manager Peter Grant and shares some of his memories on this era in Uncut magazine issue 63 (July 2002). I might work on this profile later on if no one else does. (I'm not very experienced at html writing so my apologies if the link above causes trouble) JustPassingThru 11:57, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
I have added a bit more to this page.-- andreasegde ( talk) 14:20, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
It's up for a GA.-- andreasegde ( talk) 13:14, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
The main photo has gone, even though I voiced my objections. No comment on here or my page, either. The photo police really are a law unto themselves.-- andreasegde ( talk) 16:41, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
I shall be reviewing this page against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status. Jezhotwells ( talk) 01:55, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

What a total misunderstanding of the English language. It was a place that was respected, but was not friendly, in any sense. Using the phrase ...where he had to get used to... would mean that it was accepted that boys would have the stuffing knocked out of them on a daily basis. -- andreasegde ( talk) 21:43, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Doing what, exactly? Isn't the fact enough?-- andreasegde ( talk) 21:47, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Williams is mentioned in the lead. Didn't you read that?-- andreasegde ( talk) 21:47, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
"arranged for Harry and his future wife's first photographs together". Good grief, isn't that clear enough?-- andreasegde ( talk) 12:32, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Because it wasn't how other people saw The Mersey Sound.
Of course there is. Read the quote underneath the list of books.-- andreasegde ( talk) 12:32, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
You really want to stick the knife in. I wonder why? -- andreasegde ( talk) 08:03, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Mersey Beat was his career, and still is part of his career.-- andreasegde ( talk) 07:44, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
"Splitting the price of the newspaper (threepence) with retailers". Blind again.-- andreasegde ( talk) 07:47, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
This is the best yet: "I suggest working to make this an artciel [sic] about Bill Harry." It's called BILL HARRY, or did you not notice that?-- andreasegde ( talk) 22:45, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
I am working on it now.-- andreasegde ( talk) 16:18, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
I don't know where that came from, but it's gone now.-- andreasegde ( talk) 16:24, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
"in their thoughts and actions and not like the "dilettantes and dabblers", whom Harry disapproved of for wearing duffle coats and turtle neck sweaters."-- andreasegde ( talk) 16:30, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
They are both mentioned in the lead, but I will add something in there about them being student friends. (I see that someone has already put their full names in the article...)-- andreasegde ( talk) 16:35, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
"Despite his misgivings about Lennon's attitude, Harry introduced him to Sutcliffe, who was a small, soft-spoken and shy student."-- andreasegde ( talk) 16:41, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Gone.-- andreasegde ( talk) 16:43, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
I took Harry's quote tags out and put the sentence directly after it, with a slight change: "The Daily Worker newspaper denounced the enthusiasm of younger people in Liverpool by saying "The 'Mersey Sound' is the sound of 30,000 people on the dole".-- andreasegde ( talk) 16:49, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
"500 different groups, which were constantly forming and breaking up, with an average of about 350 groups that were playing concerts on a regular basis"-- andreasegde ( talk) 16:54, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
I totally agree. I will cut it and add it to the the Mersey Beat article.-- andreasegde ( talk) 16:56, 2 December 2009 (UTC) Done.-- andreasegde ( talk) 17:05, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
GA nomination placed
on hold pending improvements to the issues above (except the "things to remember" section; that is not part of it but for your own reference).

Thanks for the review. I will work on this tonight.-- andreasegde ( talk) 10:59, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm really sorry, but I will have to work on this over the next few days. (Job pressure and all that, y'know...)-- andreasegde ( talk) 22:12, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. I still have to rework the lead, and change those P.R. things and at/in.-- andreasegde ( talk) 17:07, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
I think that's about it... (?)-- andreasegde ( talk) 18:00, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
I thank thee kindly, and very much as well. :) -- andreasegde ( talk) 16:18, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
