The Beatles instruments
Since you are pretty up on what they did in the studio, do you have any data on what instruments each member generally used on a year to year or album to album basis. If you have, could you drop a line at talk:The Beatles in the instrumentation discussion. Ta. LessHeard vanU 23:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes folks, it’s the The time again. You might like to add your opinion (whatever it may be) on this page.--andreasegde (talk) 14:49, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to bring this up, but as you signed under "the Beatles", I thought you may have got the wrong list, as you have "I'm interested in computers, photography, popular science, cricket, The Beatles and trivia", on your front page.--andreasegde (talk) 16:21, 14 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I've changed my mind about the usage; on the Beatles website, there's an article by Derek Taylor - he used "the Beatles" throughout, as he was the band's official spokesman it seems that "the Beatles" was the form preferred by the band, so I'd argue that's what we should use. Apepper (talk) 20:02, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, but maybe you should change your front page line to the Beatles to reflect that. I wish you the best, Beatles' fan. :)--andreasegde (talk) 00:17, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

The Beatles' influence on music recording / The Beatles' recording technology


Damn good stuff. I see you've been working on that for almost two years now so you deserve another award. It's an interesting idea and an article well worth doing. I've changed the name to make it fit more accurately with what it is. I might drop in on it later to help you build up the references and give it some shape. In the meantime, keep up the good work!  SilkTork  *YES! 01:51, 19 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for the award! Much appreciated - I'm not sure about the new title; having read Geoff Emerick's autobiography, I was planning to add a section about the change of attitude from classical musicians to "pop" music. Emerick considers that one of the biggest "things" about the Beatles, but it wouldn't fit in to the music technology title.

Apepper (talk) 21:03, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Perhaps use the material in The Beatles article itself? Though take care that the views given reflect a wide consensus. The difficulty with "influence" and opinion, is that unless the views are widely accepted and notable, they may not fit into Wikipedia's remit. Emerick's knowledge about The Beatles recording techniques are valuable, though I am less certain about the authority of any of his personal speculations about changes of musical attitude. Are you talking about his "Here, There and Everywhere" book? That has received a lot of criticism in some quarters - .  SilkTork  *YES! 22:37, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

That's the book, but most of the criticism has been that he actually remembered very little about recording the Beatles and he had to look to other sources to "remind" himself of what happened! OTOH, there isn't a lot of documentation about the changing attitudes between classical & pop musicians & Emerick did notice th difference. I'll also have a look at George Martin's autobiography, to see if he said much about the change in attitude. Apepper (talk) 23:35, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Group or band – which one?
We are holding a straw poll (in a very friendly way, of course) to decide if The Beatles should be called a group, or a band. You can add your user signature to one or the other by clicking this link, Group or band – which one?. Thanks.--andreasegde (talk) 23:50, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Beatles Wit


The article The Beatles Wit has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Personal essay, WP:Synthesis, about the rather unencyclopedic fact that the Beatles, like many people, had a sense of humor. Suitable for an article in an entertainment magazine, but probably not here.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:58, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
