 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * Lead should be expanded
 * "in tatters," - this seems to be redundant
 * "Harrison himself would remain an Apple artist until his EMI contract expired in January 1976," - What is Apple? I know it, but many won't probably
 * "But as of early 1974, he still had no distributor lined up for either the Shankar Family & Friends album," - I would not start a sentence with "but", consider adding "however" after the date.
 * "Plus, Harrison was working to seal" - plus is kind of colloquial, consider replacing with "Furthermore" or similar
 * "Come 23 September, " - not sure what you mean
 * "It's possible" - write it out
 * "“Ring out the old, ring in the new”" - why italicized? And avoid curly quotations per MOS:QUOTEMARKS. I noticed you wrote in curly quotation marks, but you need to replace them with straight ones
 * United Kingdom silver in "Shipments and sales" unsourced
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * I think it is fairly messy if you include a detailed referencing style all the time. How about adding a sepereated section with the full details, and then simply use a shorter style, eg " or maybe short footnotes. But it is up to you after all
 * Use a consistent style throughout
 * Bare urls should be fixed
 * I strongly suggest to use the citation templates
 * Don't forget the period behind p or pp
 * "This was a very poor result for an artist of Harrison’s stature, and as an ex-Beatle, although Ringo Starr’s Beaucoups of Blues had similarly missed the cut in Britain back in 1970." looks like original research, maybe even a comment.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall: I will give you 10 days to fix those issues. Overall an interesting article.-- GoP T C N 05:06, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Just need to expand lead and find a ref for Silver, then prose should be done. Under what section is "Its possible"? yeepsi (Time for a chat?) 12:08, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I will pass this article. Nice work and collaboration! :)-- GoP T C N 09:32, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
