The Beatles & Apple
Hi, Thanks for your really great contributions to Apple Corps and related articles. You've added a lot of fascinating information. As we strive to push the Apple articles forward towards featured article status, it would be helpful if we had citations for substantial new information. I've no doubt that what you've added is correct, but to be a top grade Wikipedia article others need to be able to verify what you've written and see the sources. Perhaps you could add the sources (ask me how or see the help pages) or put them onto the Talk page.

You'll notice of course that older info on the page isn't sourced, that's a "todo" for the future.

Thanks again, it's nice to see that article grow. --kingboyk 18:51, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Jerry, thanks for signing up to the project! I hope you now have WikiProject The Beatles on your watchlist, but if you don't, please add it and - there's a new message for you on the talk page (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject The Beatles). --kingboyk 06:17, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Apple sources etc
Hi Kingboyk

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't really got my head round the Wikipedia VE yet - I'll try to find the citation rules, but if you've a URL in mind, feel free to share it!

Don't know if you'll see this - maybe I should put it on your page, or the Apple Records page. Doh, I bet Wikipedia started out as such a /simple/ idea!

My aim is to keep my Apple contribs rooted in verifiable fact - none of us was there, after all, and there's too much hearsay out there. I've a nearly complete set of Apple singles, catalogued as Scraping The Barrel, which is the basis of much of the info I've provided. I've also got an occasional blog called Dear Angie where I gather Apple-related info, particularly about goodies that turn up at eBay or EIL. The aim is to be factual and evidence-based (except where it's obvious I'm expressing my own opinion). That blog needs extricating from my other recent Wordpress experiments, and will hopefully get a better URL soonish.

Back to work now, I'll delve deeper into the weird world of Wikipedia another time.

All the best

 * "Scraping the Barrel" is your site?! Goodness me! Just looking at your other site... impressive stuff! Well, with you on board our Apple articles should reach Featured Status in no time. Well, let's continue the dialogue on the Beatles WikiProject talk page, and if you have questions (including about verifiability and sources) please ask them there. That way you'll have 3 or more of us to answer. Or, on my talk page, as several people watch that page and will chip in answers. I'm off to read Re:Locution! --kingboyk 06:21, 17 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Can I take it then that you wouldn't object to a few of your images being used from your sites? One or two items of memoribilia might make the articles more colourful, and articles on artists can always use record labels. --kingboyk 08:48, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

My Sweet Lord
You commented that you have the original cover - then please upload it! :-) It's much better for the article to have the original sleeve. --kingboyk 12:34, 17 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Jerry has uploaded it Image:Mysweetlord1971.jpg but I think as an album cover it probably needs to carry one of the fair use tags, probably the one for albums, and probably can't go on Commons... out of print does nt release stuff to the public domain typically. If Jerry has trouble fixing it, we should help because we don't want to lose this great image, it would be fine on Wikipedia, just not Commons. Jerry if you need help, just holler!  + +Lar: t/c 12:39, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know about Commons but I think you're right. It certainly isn't PD. It needs to be tagged with Albumcover and a fair use rationale given. I'm happy to do it but I suspect Jerry would prefer himself to be known as the uploader. I'll save a copy of the image anyway, just in case. --kingboyk 12:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Nod. Good thinking on stashing a copy. I do think Jerry should get credit if at all possible and we can do that if he can't suss out the reupload but I suspect he can. I do know you can't put Fair Use stuff on Commons. That's pretty clear cut. We have some time though... + +Lar: t/c 13:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi all, it's a single cover actually, but feel free to do whatever you think best with it - I got a bit lost in all the licensing palaver at Wiki commons - and my work-life balance isn't leaving me much time to faff around there! By the way, anyone's free to use any of the pics of Apple stuff that I have at http://apple.relocution.com - the photos are mine, though what they are photos of is not, if you see what I mean! Doh!

 * I've taken a copy from Commons and uploaded it to en.wikipedia under the name Mysweetlord1971single.jpg Hope that helps.  + + Lar: t/c 16:14, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
