Hi. I’ve noticed that out of all the Beatles albums, 7/12 are under GA status, most of them the pre-1966 ones. I’m not criticizing this project, I just think that they need more work. So I’ve decided to enlist your help in getting most of them to at least GA status. I have more Beatles books than I know what to do with, and I want to use them for this. So how about that?
P.S sorry if I sounded slightly arrogant there. Speatle ( talk) 12:08, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
A primary source may be used on Wikipedia only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge.Anyway, I have added a citation to The Beatles Bible, a respectable source.

Hi there ! I was wondering that maybe we could setup some kind of "working calendar". Something like : April - PPM, May - AHDN, and so on. What do you think ?
I could also help, specially adding citations (I have a lot of books). Alexcalamaro ( talk) 04:31, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Ok, no problem about avoid Beatles Bible as a source. I thought it would be a RS following
WP:USESPS, under the premise that "2.The author is an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications, except for exceptional claim
" (the author has published a book and the site is usually mentioned around the web). But of course, it is always better Lewinshon and the like.

I’m not gonna be adding much today, as I’m recovering from a dental surgery. One thing I did do, though, is put our plans on the community bulletin board. I directed them to the talk page, so maybe we’ll get more help soon. Speatle ( talk) please ping me when replying to something I said. 16:25, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
I have added a work schedule proposal at the nominations section. Feel free to change anything you want from the plan. My rationale has been to start to work in the B articles first as they are near to GA, and then AHDN as mentioned above, the rest for next year. Alexcalamaro ( talk)
Would the songs section still meet GA/FA criteria if there weren't separate subsections for each song, but rather just a sentence or two about each? Speatle ( talk) please ping me when replying to something I said. 12:42, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
Any more updates on PPM? I'm done with retrospective reviews so I've mostly done all that I can do. – zmbro ( talk) ( cont) 18:27, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
A funny thing I noticed, this talk page is now around the size that PPM was before we started working on it. Speatle ( talk to me) please ping me when replying to something I said. 22:22, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
Speatle, I have notice that you are working in the songs section. I could help you uploading audio bits of the songs. So later, we could add them to the article, the way it has been done in Rubber Soul album. Alexcalamaro ( talk) 12:57, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
Well, we’ve missed the proposed date and crossed into June, which is entirely my own fault. Zim’s done all they could do, and I’m pretty sure Tk has as well. I have no idea what Alex is doing, and I’m just sitting back and occasionally writing a sentence or two in my sandbox. I don’t even know why I’m procrastinating so much, it’s just laziness. This is starting to become a trend of mine, both on and offline. Starting big projects and never doing anything to get to the end goal.
(ps sorry for the horrible sig)

Hi, there. I have changed the proposed dates for the GA working at the article table. I have left only years, as it seems more realistic to me. Cheers Alexcalamaro ( talk) 05:28, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
George Martin became a GA in 2007 and evolved little after that. I've spent the last three months building out the article to a more standard length by 2022 standards. How far is the article now from getting to FA, do we think? -- Jprg1966 (talk) 21:41, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Lennon UFO incident until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project decides to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.
