List of people who performed on Beatles recordings

 * ... that aside from the four members, more than 200 performers appeared on recordings by The Beatles, playing instruments such as an alarm clock and a heap of gravel?

Love this article, love the hook. Some minor things: Tweaked the hook slightly. I removed the link to the disambiguation page John McCartney, all the other wikilinks are okay. Reference 38 returns a 404 page, so that url needs to be fixed. The citations for the hook are okay, and I'm willing to pass based on offline sources. I am concerned though that so many entries are sourced to the webpage of Enrique Cabrera. How do we know this is a reliable source? Gamaliel ( talk ) 15:35, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
 * That website seems to be sourced to the Lewisohn book; I'm in the process of swapping refs out where possible. I started the article with just the Cabrera refs as they were online.  Now I have a copy of the book in front of me, it's a lot easier!  It does appear that Cabrera's website has been used as a source by newspapers (etc.); I don't know if this contributes to its authority. matt (talk) 15:43, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Since the hook is sourced to reliable, offline sources, and you're currently researching other sources to corroborate Cabrera's website, and you've fixed the broken url, I don't see any reason why we can't pass this article. Gamaliel ( talk ) 15:59, 25 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment: The Cabrera refs are all swapped out now. Phew! matt (talk) 16:09, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
