* ''[[Apple Corps v. Apple Computer]]''. A case brought by [[Apple Corps]] against [[Apple Computer]], regarding possible infringement of a previous agreement between the two parties in respect of distribution of music, was heard in a London [[High Court]]. The story made Wikipedia's front page due to a nomination by [[user:kingboyk|Kingboyk]].<!-- I'm not sure I need to be credited, especially if I cosign the newsletter--> The story had an interesting second wave in the news and on Wikipedia - we won't spoil the story for you, just be sure to read the article on [[Guy Goma]]! |

* ''[[Apple Corps v. Apple Computer]]''. A case brought by [[Apple Corps]] against [[Apple Computer]], regarding possible infringement of a previous agreement between the two parties in respect of distribution of music, was heard in a London [[High Court of Justice|High Court]]. The story made Wikipedia's front page due to a nomination by our own [[user:kingboyk|Kingboyk]]. The story had an amusing second wave in the news and on Wikipedia; be sure to read the article on [[Guy Goma]] if you missed it! |
|||
* [[Paul McCartney]] and [[Heather Mills]] have been reported by various external news sources to have seperated. Other than a brief update in the McCartney article and a couple of small paragraphs on the Mills page, this has gone largely uncommented on Wikipedia. |
|||
* The hottest Project page this month has been [[WPT:TBP|Policy Talk]] where some lively discussion has taken place in regard to the (perrenial) question of the capitalisation of the letter ''T'' in The Beatles. After seeking the comments of Wikipedian third parties unrelated to the project, the proponents and opponents concluded that the current naming policy was correct. Although lively, the discussion remained civilised and had the added bonus of bringing in some new members. |

* New members to the project this month include [[User:Analogdemon|Analogdemon]], [[User:HighwayCello|HighwayCello]], [[User:Wootking|Wootking]], [[User:Lukobe|Lukobe]] and [[User:Crestville|Crestville]]. |
|||
* Six new items have appeared in the New Articles log in May (link to project page, pretty please). |
|||
*[[The Beatles]] article has been approved for inclusion in [[Wikipedia:Version 0.5|Wikipedia Version 0.5]], making it one of the first 20 articles to be selected and the first in the Music category. |
|||
* news item 7 |
|||
* Project member (and "co-instigator" of The Beatles Project) [[User:Lar|Lar]] was promoted to Adminship status. Project member [[User:Kingboyk|Kingboyk]] (the other guilty party re the Project) has been awarded a Music ''[[Barnstar]]'' for his contributions, including his work within The Beatles Project, and has also stewarded the [[KLF]] article to [[Featured Article]] status this month. Congratulations to both! Sometime contributor [[User:ZincOrbie|ZincOrbie]] has also been awarded a ''Barnstar'' for his work on the [[Badfinger]] article. (Please include ''your'' promotions/awards in future issues. Don't be shy!!) |

* The [[Ringo Starr]] solo single [[It Don't Come Easy]] has been co-adopted by [[User:Simon123|simonthe<b>bold</b>]]. |
