Hi, I will be reviewing this against the GA criteria as part of a GAN sweep. I'll leave some comments soon. JAG UAR   17:18, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Jag. Thanks for taking this one – looking forward to your review. JG66 (talk) 19:02, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * , sorry to hassle but any chance of a review sometime soon? Having said that, I'm only going to have limited time over Xmas/New Year so perhaps it's best to wait. (In other words, I'm really posting here to ensure that the review's still "alive" – that one of us has posted something here recently!) No rush, as far as I'm concerned. Best, JG66 (talk) 02:43, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm so sorry, I completely forgot about this! I've never done that to a review before! I have no idea how I could have missed doing this. I'll finish the review today. Again, my apologies! JAG  UAR   09:49, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Checking against the GA criteria

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


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * "and on Lennon's "Rain"" - this has already been linked
 * "as to what he wanted to call the track." - there is a harvref error at the end of this sentence
 * "The Beatles taped the main track" - how about recorded, unless taped is the preferred term to use?
 * "The band recorded five takes of the song before Harrison selected take 3 for further work" - how about The band recorded five takes of the song before Harrison selected the third take for further work (feel free to ignore)
 * Just to point out that the book Eight Arms to Hold You: The Solo Beatles Compendium isn't used anywhere in the article
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * No original research found. AGF for offline sources
 * 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:
 * NPOV
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * Pass/Fail:

This is an excellent article. It is well written, comprehensive, and the sources all check out. I could only check the online sources but couldn't find any issues there. I knew that this would pass outright when I first read it! Again I must apologise for the late review, I accidentally checked this one off a couple of weeks ago.

 * , thanks so much, you're too kind. I really hope I didn't rush you. I've been working on the article for the parent album, Revolver, and it just dawned on me today: hang on, haven't I got one of these songs nominated for GA?! With those issues you raised, I'll remove the 2nd link for "Rain" and Madinger & Easter from the list of sources; and (thank you) I've just corrected the Turner ref error you mentioned. Will change to "third take" as you suggest, unless anything else comes to light (I'm thinking: could be a mention thereabouts of first or second something or other, and me wanting to avoid another ordinal – I'm not sure). "Taped" strikes me as a possible keep, because of the variation in wording it gives from "recording/recorded", not to mention the implication (if a reader needs it) that all recording was analogue during this era … Again, big thanks Jag. Go well, JG66 (talk) 13:36, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You're welcome, and thanks for understanding! It came as a shock to me this morning when I realised I left an unfinished review this late LOL. Again, excellent work with this. I agree with you with keeping "taped", as this was an analogue era and seems to give the reader more of a variety. JAG  UAR   13:52, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
