WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter
Issue 2 - June 2006

Project news

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 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!
The Beatles discography has been improved, thanks particularly to the efforts of User:Analogdemon and User:Steelbeard1.
The hottest Project page this month has been 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 Analogdemon, HighwayCello, Wootking, Lukobe and Crestville.
Eight new articles have been listed in the Project Log so far in May.
Project member (and "co-instigator" of The Beatles Project) Lar was promoted to Adminship status. Project member 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 ZincOrbie has also been awarded a Barnstar for his work on the Badfinger article.

Talk about the history article/debate here perhaps?

HERE'S SOME WHITESPACE, MAY AS WELL USE IT

From the Editors

A warm welcome to Issue 002.

Whilst there has been a couple of Beatles related items in the news recently, the work on The Beatles Project continues as before. This newsletter is intended to keep you up to date with what has been happening and, perhaps more importantly, what needs to be done.

Any other person(s) recently joined should add their name to the Participants section of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles. Not only will you get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter, but you will get it delivered to your userpage. Also, please include your promotions/awards in future issues. Don't be shy!!
