You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)
Hi Brian. You can rename a page using the "move" tab at the top, but only if the name you want to move it too is unoccupied. (As an admin I can do such moves but it involves deleting the target page). You can also use redirects to send readers to the correct page. Let me know if you don't know how to make a redirect and I'll give you a tutorial.

That said, I have this song filed as "... The Number ..." not "My Number". I took my tracklistings from sleeve notes and reference books, long before Wikipedia was conceived. What makes you think it's "My" and not "The"? --kingboyk 10:54, 2 June 2006 (UTC)


 * My copy of the Apple single and the Billboard Hot 100 chart both list it as "My Number".
 * -- also, the "typo" you edited was [sic] as well -- Vee-Jay misspelled the band's name on that release, just as they they had the flip side as "Ask My Way" rather than "Ask Me Why" ... of course, this was early 1963 (February), when few folks knew who the Beatles were...  and, if you happen to have a copy of that single (I don't, but I've seen/touched one!) it's worth on the order of US $1500 these days.  Not as valuable as a Decca release of Tony Sheridan & The Beat Brothers, which is worth upwards of 10 times that much!
 * I could definitely use the tutorial, if/when you have the time... I'm not new to programming or HTML (or perl, or C, or awk, sed, ed, edlin, etc...), but only seeing Wiki markup for the first time in the past week or so.

 * okay.. that was a lie (apparently).  I guess I need to pull those old singles out of their storage box!  The picture of the sleeve on beatles-discography.com definitely shows "The Number" rather than "My Number", so please retract that whole line of commentary.  I would trust that site (with a picture of the actual sleeve!) more than my (ever-increasingly feeble, apparently) memory, any more.  ...and I used to be such a damn know-it-all, too.  harumph.  :-)   -- Brian.D 02:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * PS: ...but I did confirm my assertation regarding "Ask My Way" and "The Beattles", anyway.  so 1/2 point for trying.  Brian.D 02:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
