I wonder why this story is not told here, where a lad requested "My Bonnie by the Beatles" to Epstein in his NEMS record store? Was it just never mentioned yet, or was it mentioned but deleted because it was considered too anecdotal? The story is told in the wiki article: The Beatles in Hamburg J.Moondog (talk) 10:21, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just realized that this missing section is oddly found complete in the article "The Beatles in Hamburg". I wrote in the "Talk" of that article that I was planning to move it from the Hamburg article to the main article, here, J.Moondog (talk) 05:58, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Tkbrett, Strange that all of a sudden, after close to a week, a massive revert was performed without explanation, with a vague reason that it was not readable enough? Can you explain? J.Moondog (talk) 03:58, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't strange at all; this is a Featured Article where the standard for writing is higher. Your edits introduced arbitrary paragraph and section breaks which made it less readable. In another case, you added an unsourced one-sentence paragraph. Tkbrett (✉)15:20, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Similar to other bands' Wikipedia images, the image of the Beatles should not be a square of combined images. Rather, it should be an image showing all of them together. Therefore, I propose an image of the Beatles in 1963, which is posed and shows all of them in their most iconic look. This image, aside from being a better image than the current, represents the Beatles in the way everyone remembers, similarly to the current. They are all smiling and looking at the camera too, so it does not look as awkward as the current. Thoughts? Wcamp9 (talk) 17:21, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm all for switching to the proposed image if the copyright concerns are cleared up. I also talk page messaged you on Commons as I can't find the image in the source link given. Miklogfeather (talk) 20:36, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This has been discussed briefly a few times before; see here, here, here, and here. The problem usually is a copyright issue, if you are able to prove that this image is PD it shouldn't be a problem to change it (though it may require an RfC). Yeshivish613 (talk) 21:17, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
