The Beatles To-do: You can HELP!:
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.
Full list & instructions.
- Lists to complete:
- Wanted Pics/Graphics: Mal Evans, Flying (song), Astrid Kirchherr, Jimmy Nicol, Cynthia Powell, Alistair Taylor, Ivan Vaughan, Tittenhurst Park, Tony Barrow. We need a better open-licenced photo for the project, to replace the Abbey Road crossing. If you provide a photo, please remove the ReqPhoto tag from the article's talk page and remove the article from this list.
- Project Discussions: The Beatles history, Individual songs vs longer album articles, Beatle wives, Merge/split proposals
- Project: Add {{WPBeatles}} to the talk pages of all Beatles-related articles. Send a newsletter to members, canvas for new members, and coordinate tasks. Enter articles classed as stubs into this list (under To Expand) and also list articles needing cleaning and other work here.
If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list and add your achievement to the project log.

[edit] The Wrens of South Africa
Hi
My name is Beverley Wren. I am one of 58 Wrens residing in South Africa.
My younger brother Malcolm Wren lives in OxfordShire, England. A few years ago he researched the archives and the family history and wrote a book on the families in South Africa. Amongst these families are many Chistophers and Jennys.
I am particularly interested in Paul McCartneys 2005 song Jenny Wren which I heard for the first time this week and am desperate to obtain a copy of.
I met a Wren family in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, in April 2006. The father, Herbert, was born in England and came to South Africa with his parents as a young man. He is a widower of 67 and has two young children from his second marriage, Christopher (15) and Jenny (12). These childrens' mother died 4 years ago and their dad has been mother and father to them since.
The reason for wanting to purchase a cd or music video 'Jenny Wren' by Paul McCartney is that Jenny (who was christened Jenny and not Jennifer) will be turning 13 on the 9th of July and I think that such a gift to her would be wonderful. As young as she is she enjoys Paul McCartney's music and wants to be an actor like him one day.
Please forgive me for using this site to write to you but having tried all kinds of means to contact the fan club or find out where I can purchase the cd "Chaos and creation in the backyard" I am hoping that this letter will reach someone who can assist me.
Thank You
Bev Wren
