FAR commentary

 * Notified: User talk:Johnleemk, User talk:Rodhullandemu, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject The Beatles, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rock music.

FA from 2004, referencing/1c issues. Article seems a bit short, considering the popularity of the song, surely there must be more discussion of it in WP:RS/WP:V secondary sources. Also, lots of short paragraphs and one-sentence paragraphs throughout, could use copyediting. There is not much info in the article about musical composition, certainly not much that is sourced.

Comments from Rodhullandemu
 * First thoughts: Initial issues were (a) a cn tag on the original lyrics; these appear to have originated, as far as I can tell, from a factoid sourced to a poorly-written book, so for the time being, I've deleted that claim. (b) A deadlink to Guinness World Records.com, which I've resurrected from the wayback machine, but it doesn't substantiate the claim of 3000 cover versions, so I've corrected that; in particular, for a FA, the list of "eclectic" cover versions requires sourcing, and I've yet to find a reliable and definitive list.

 * Have added a section on "Musical structure". Probably needs reviewing for style & against sources. Rodhull  andemu  02:05, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Comments from Realist2
 * A lot of the article is sourced by http://www.beatles-discography.com/ so those all need replacing.

FARC commentary

 * Suggested FA criteria concern are citations, comprehensiveness. Also note the recent change to WP:WIAFA (1c) requiring "high-quality" sources.  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! '') 02:32, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delist, per FA criteria concerns. Cirt (talk) 05:01, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Still a few dead links and unsourced parts, so removed  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) 03:42, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
