Across The Universe (film)
This film is not a significant film in the history of The Beatles and I consider in the same league as the 1970s film "I Want To Hold Your Hand", therefore it does not belong in The Beatles template. Steelbeard1 (talk) 20:35, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply with your comments which I have noted. I should go further back in the template's history on who to blame. Steelbeard1 (talk) 16:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Greetings!
Greetings Countdown to oblivion. Great edit (i.e. I was impressed by the subtlety) you did just now to the Flanders and Swann article! I've just bumped into you again at the The Beatles (album) and would be interested in your opinion as to the following minor edit (as is after my edit): "Glass Onion" is a Beatles song about Beatles' songs. That is, does it need any "The"s or apostrophes? I bow to your superior knowledge! Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 14:01, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * (Copied & pasted here from my talk page)::Thanx for prompt reply - however your reply has thrown me completely. What little I had clear has now evaporated (it's hot where I am!). Let's make your first example ("I love Beatles songs") singular. I get "I love John's songs". Agreed? Your second example ("I love Lennon and McCartney songs") brings to the fore one of those things-I've-always-meant-to-check-up-on-and-never-get-round-to-doing, viz., does the apostrophe go on Lennon AND on McCartney (as in Lennon's and McCartney's songs) OR just on the McCartney (as in Lennon and McCartney's songs)? Sigh!


 * If we stick a "the" in front (as in the Lennon-McCartney songs) there's no doubt. I would instinctively say "I love the Lennon-McCartney songs." or "I love Lennon and McCartney's songs."


 * Maybe it should read somethin' like: "Glass Onion" is a song written about [the meaning of] songs written by The Beatles.


 * Sorry to drag this out - but when it's clear, it's clear and when it ain't... Regards, --Technopat (talk) 14:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
