Yoko and John's children

Hi, I hope this is not an insensitive thing to bring up, but should we maybe mention that Ono and Lennon named and registered their dead sons in 1968 and 1969? Her article refer to one miscarriage in 1968 but technically speaking this child would have been stillborn (or according to this book by Tim Riley the boy actually lived for a little while, not sure where he's getting that info from tho). John's article mentions three miscarriages but the boy miscarried or stillborn in 1969 seems to have been registered and named as well. ★Trekker (talk) 19:25, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Peter and Gordon discography

Should the page be put under this project, given that some of the singles are Beatles-related? Blueskiesdry (talk) 17:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. Even then this WikiProject as a whole is practically dead so it wouldn't matter much anyways. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 18:32, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If it’s dead should we add a semi-inactive/inactive template? Blueskiesdry (talk) 18:37, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd gladly use this page if anyone else is still interested.★Trekker (talk) 06:01, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do think there’s still a lot to be done. A couple years ago we tried to get all the albums to GA/FA but it fizzled out due to lack of motivation. Blueskiesdry (talk) 13:10, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bummer. I'm not so familiar with album articles but I do like to do work on biographies.★Trekker (talk) 07:24, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rename "The Beatles' 1964 tour of Australia" to “The Beatles 1964 tour of Australasia"

I propose that the article The Beatles' 1964 tour of Australia be renamed to “The Beatles 1964 tour of Australasia’’ as the “Down Under” tour zig-zagged across the Tasman from Sydney to Wellington, Auckland, Dunedin and Christchurch then back to Brisbane, so it is artificial to have a gap in the middle.

The tour was one of many arranged jointly by Kerridge-Odeon in Auckland and Aztec in Melbourne through their London agent Cyril Berlin of The Grade Organisation Hugo999 (talk) Hugo999 (talk) 00:04, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not familiar with the naming convention of tours, does this tour have a common name?★Trekker (talk) 13:24, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The 2024 blockbuster 307p book on the tour calls it The Beatles Australasian Tour 1964 book! Hugo999 (talk) 23:09, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking for Her Hand in the Snow)#Requested move 24 October 2024

The move request is to change the word 'Her' to 'a'. This Wikiproject probably should have been notified earlier. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:39, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Need eyes at The Best of George Harrison

There is an IP edit warring to introduce content that I believe fails WP:RS. I've tried discussing at their talk page and also have started a section on the article's talk page about the matter. They seem unwilling to discuss further. I do not want to edit war over this (at least any more than has already occurred) and am involved so am requesting more eyes on this article. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 23:55, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Crazycomputers: Are they still at it?★Trekker (talk) 10:36, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@StarTrekker: They've replaced the Facebook source with a book, so both yes and no. The source ostensibly passes RS now, and sourcing was my only real objection to the addition before. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 22:01, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
