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] Purple Haze
I must point out that the main article picture of the 1967-1970 article is too pixilated and distorted to make out anything on the main front. I am going to correct this in good time. User:01kkk
Yes, I know Purple Haze is from JH.
[edit] Cover versions?
The articles for these two compilations include a paragraph that is identical in both, with this sentence:
- Even though the group had had success with cover versions of songs, most notably with "Twist and Shout," which made #2 on the Billboard charts, only songs composed by the Beatles themselves were included.
While this sentence is appropriate for the first compilation, I'm not sure it's necessary for this article, as I don't think the Beatles recorded any cover versions of similarly great importance during the time period covered by this album. If they did, then a different example should be substituted here. Richard K. Carson 05:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
