Lead

 * Agree with you one removing the infobox. Don't think it added anything new
 * Rest looks good

Background and composition

 * In the quote box you can uncapitalize "linking". Or is it capital in reference to the store name?
 * It's capitalized in the original source, presumably because of the store's name.
 * Instead of "probably", start a new sentence and say "According to Mark Lewisohn, he wrote it between...". Saying "probably" sounds non-encyclopedic
 * Lewisohn doesn't seem too sure, writing it as: "It was probably in this period that [McCartney] seized on a catchphrase...", where "this period" refers to January–May 1958. I changed it around in the article to According to Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn, McCartney likely wrote it...
 * "writes the song" → "writes that the song"
 * Fixed.
 * "Author Jonathan Gould writes the song" I would change "writes" here as you say writes previously. You also don't want this para to just read like a bunch of bullet points thrown together
 * Yeah, that's a good point. Riley and Gould's statements are the only pieces of criticism I've found regarding the song, so I've joined the sentence together.

Recording and release

 * Have the Beatles linked before the Quarrymen since it's the first instance
 * After a fix above, the first instance is now According to Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn.... I fixed the other linking.
 * Comment: Does a recording of the Get Back version exist? If not hopefully it appears in that new Peter Jackson movie. Idk about you but I'd watch all 50 hours of footage or whatever it was lol
 * The 3 Jan one is over before you realize it. Kind of cool to hear the 29 Jan one because John sings it. I was already excited for the movie, but what's really put it over the top is that it will probably be the first time I get to go to the movie theatre with friends after however long it's been.
 * Yeah true that. – zmbro (talk) 22:29, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Final thoughts

 * I was initially hesitant whether or not this qualified for notability, but I think you've put forth enough info about this track to warrant it's own article. After a few adjustments I'd call this a pass :-) P.S. do you own Tune In? – zmbro (talk) 00:26, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I think this page is comprehensive; I haven't been able to find anything beyond this. I had read the abridged version, but my fiancé got me the extended special ed. for Christmas. Definitely the best gift I've ever received. Also, I think it's the most expensive thing I own after my car.  Tkbrett  (✉) 01:06, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah I intend to get Tune In sometime this year just have to decide when. Been buying other books lately so I gotta stop for awhile and save haha. Anyways, easy ✅ – zmbro (talk) 22:29, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
