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 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.
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. (Please include your promotions/awards in future issues. Don't be shy!!)

A warm welcome to Issue 002.

Other :Project: Add {{WikiProject The Beatles}} to the talk pages of all Beatles-related articles. Send a newsletter to members, canvas for new members and coordinate tasks. Enter articles assessed as stubs onto this list, also list articles needing cleanup and other work here.
If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list and add your achievement to the project log.
