Hi. I'm a little puzzled by your message on my talk page - have I been impolite?
Anyway... please just help as you see fit. Continue doing what you've been doing already. As you get more involved you might find new things you want to work on, but signing up to the WikiProject doesn't require any increased involvement or commitment.
With regards to Shea Stadium, I'm not familiar with the source you quote. Who was it written by? Can it be considered reliable? We can change the attendance and add a footnote if need be ( The Beatles article is sorely in need of references anyway). -- kingboyk 10:45, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter
| ||
|
The matter of the article History of the Beatles and the History section of the main article The Beatles continues to concern various editors, including DavidWBrooks and Vera, Chuck & Dave. Suggestions, comments, or help with the task would be much appreciated.
The Beatles have been in the real world news recently, but work on The Beatles Project continues as before. This newsletter keeps you up-to-date with what has been happening with the project and, perhaps more importantly, what needs to be done (see the "Issue of the Month" above and the "To Do List" below-left). 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 003 – July 2006). All and any contributions are welcome. Just let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or start editing!

To Do List
Make visible or invisible by clicking Show or Hide, respectively.
As the project is currently just starting, our more experienced editors are working on the project infrastructure, classifying articles, and listing/assessing red links. Your assistance is welcome. If you would prefer to just edit - and why wouldn't you? - we have a choice selection of red links to turn blue and articles to clean! Now let's get busy.
If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list and add your achievement to the project log. |
Want to help on next month's newsletter? Don't want to receive these in future? Don't want it subst'd next time? - It's all here
Looks fine to me; direct quote from a referenced book. Keep it in your watchlist for a while to see if anyone disagrees (and can cite references). Good work. LessHeard vanU 00:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Alright? I was wondering if you want to help improve the beatles song pages. The Beatles portal is stacked with helpful friendly folk who know their stuff [though truth be told yer a bit grumpy ;)]. Anyway, in spite of this, some of the song pages are a tad sloppy. I was hoping we could make a more complete page for each of the songs. The singles don't need much work, but the albums tracks are weak, including your name-sake. Some don't even have infoboxes. If you've got revolution in the head (coz you like yer books, don't you) that could be of great help. Lets be friends.-- Crestville 14:28, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
If it's any hassel, I'll just use my copy when I get home.-- Crestville 14:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
So, are you hoping that by joining The Beatles project you can get your hands on the John, Paul and Ringo medals and thus own the full set? Nice plan! LessHeard vanU 21:29, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Preparing articles for inclusion in Wikipedia 1.0.
It was a bit of a struggle to get this month's newsletter done, as we did it without a lead editor. Hopefully, next month you'll jump in and be our lead editor. Big news is that WP:1.0 is coming along nicely and our article classification system has changed to conform to it. 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 004 – August 2006). Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!

Dear Beatles editors, I have just seen a header that “The Beatles trivia“ is being considered for deletion. I would like you to take a look at it and vote to keep, or delete. The consensus will win the day, as they say…. I will not vote, as I have been personally involved in the construction of the page. andreasegde 01:42, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello! Just to let you know, the article on George Smith, John Lennon's uncle, who raised him as a son, is up for deletion. While I in no way wish for non-notable people to be given articles purely on the basis that they are related to someone famous, Smith was like a father to Lennon and integral but oftern overlooked key in The Beatles mythology (if that's the right word). He features prominantly in any other work on or about Lennon. Vital information that cannot reasonably be included in the Lennon article. The main problem is the unfortunate article title, which highlights close connotations to the fact that he is mainly famous for his relationship to Lennon. Other than that it is a desirable article for anyone wishing to learn about John Lennon. I just thought I'd give anyone interested the oppertuninty to voice their opinions here: [ [2]]. Unlike andresedge, I am not an honest person and lack morals so I have voted dispite having been personally involved, and, if things start to look grim, may vote again. (Only Joshing Cheif).Ta very much.-- Crestville 14:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Any time. Seems the little Beatle clique are one of the few groups who actually get along and regularly work together. Quite nice.-- Crestville 22:45, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Despite it being the lead news article of last month, there is still help required in the assessing of articles and the migrating of comments. Lar is willing to provide assistance to those unsure how to do this.

As mentioned in the Project News section, The Beatles article has just been listed for a review of its Featured Article status. Working on this is quite important.

Your reference to the High Court in your newsletter, and the numerous copies of it in wikipedia should be to High Court as there are numerous High Courts around the world. FedLawyer
Why are you revising Beatles-related articles in order to capitalize the initial "T" in "the Beatles"? Proper literary style would have the group's name spelled as "the Beatles," not "The Beatles." All recognized authorities who have published books on the Beatles (including Mark Lewisohn, Bob Spitz, Nicholas Schaffner, Hunter Davies, Allan Kozinn, and Bruce Spizer) do not capitalize the "T" in "the" unless it is the first word in a sentence. If we want readers to take our articles on the Beatles seriously we need to follow the proper rules of style. Don't you agree? --MCB 8/17/2006 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.8.191.137 ( talk • contribs)

You´ll like this: Two semi-professional teams playing in a half-size little stadium by the Danube in Austria, last Sunday. Attendance: 150. One side scores, and some bloke turns on the pathetic sound system (just like in a train station). What song does he play to celebrate the goal?
