Infobox and lead

[edit]
  • WP:OVERLINK of West Germany under A-side in the infobox
  • Remove only before "Hand" and "dich"
  • The release info should come directly after the liberties sentence, plus move the German language versions info to being part of the opening sentence instead
  • The release sentence should begin with "The German versions were released..." then following the rest, plus add the US info here instead
  • The commercial performance info is out of order; this should be directly after the recording info of the third para for both countries
  • Remove introductions on Odeon Records, George Martin and Brian Epstein because them being introduced in the body is sufficient
  • "the German market the Beatles" → "the German market, the Beatles" to fix the sentence flow
  • Remove pipe on UK, plus shouldn't this be the United Kingdom since you wrote the United States?
  • "For "Komm, gib mir deine Hand" they" → "For "Komm, gib mir deine Hand", they"
  • "Their subsequent practice" → "The band's subsequent practice"
  • Remove wikilink on English Language
  • Remove wikilink on Europe

Background

[edit]
  • Retitle to Background and development
  • Remove wikilink on the Beatles
  • "On 25 January," → "On 25 January 1964,"
  • "number one in America" → "number one in the United States"
  • Merge the second para with the above one per the short length
  • "conceived of the Beatles" → "conceived the Beatles"
  • Remove pipe on B-side
  • "John Winn translates" → "John C. Winn translates" per the source
  • "says that "The German rewrite" → "says, "The German rewrite"

Recording

[edit]
  • "The tape travelled with Martin and Smith" → "The tape was brought by Martin and Smith during their travels"
  • Merge the second para with the above one per my earlier comment
  • [8] should solely be after the last proper sentence of the new para because it is the sole ref
  • "and the group's only outside the UK." → "and the band's only one outside of the United Kingdom." per my earlier comment
  • Merge the fourth para with the above one
  • Img looks good apart from the missing full-stop, but it is fine to have this be at the start of the merged para
  • "was the first song recorded" specify what this means, i.e it being the first song of the two or something else
  • "Martin produced, supported" → "Martin produced it, being supported"
  • "from four- to" is the dash supposed to be here? If so and it's a different format of the one at the end of the sentence, change to four-track
  • "as well as Harrison's" → "as well as George Harrison's" with the wikilink
  • "Lennon's rhythm guitar" → "John Lennon's rhythm guitar" with the wikilink
  • "on "She Loves You" he" → "on "She Loves You", he"
  • Merge the penultimate para with the above one, especially in the context of the two days later part
  • "on 31 January." → "on 31 January 1964."
  • "record four takes" either add "of" or "for" after this, depending on which the source mentions
  • "the joined edit of" → "the combined edit of"
  • "On 12 March," → "Two days after the initial mix,"
  • "and the US." → "and the United States." per MOS:US

Release

[edit]
  • Retitle to Release and impact
  • Quote box looks good!
  • "in West Germany" → "across West Germany"
  • Remove obvious wikilink on Australia
  • "in June 1964," → "during June 1964,"
  • Merge the second para with the above one per my earlier comment
  • Shouldn't you write record label instead of label?
  • "to that song." → "to the song."
  • "They released "Sie liebt dich" b/w "I'll Get You" in America" → "Swan released "Sie liebt dich" b/w "I'll Get You" in the US"
  • "on the North American album" → "on the Beatles' North American album"
  • "for new Beatle material." → "for new Beatles material."
  • Move the part about them never recording foreign versions again to the end of the section, as this specifically deals with impact
  • Is the ellipsis in Martin's quote part of the original or is it added in; if the latter, surround by [] to make this clear
  • Remove wikilink on English language
  • "this release eliminates a" → "the release eliminates a"
  • Remove "the album" intro to Something New since this is already known
  • "It remained unavailable" → "The song remained unavailable"
  • "on the 1988 compilation" → "for the 1988 compilation"
  • Is the word "respectively" needed at the end of the sentence when there is no difference indicated for the releases other than the titles?

Personnel

[edit]
  • Shouldn't this be titled credits and personnel?
  • Use {{spaced ndash}} so there is the right space between credits and personnel

Charts

[edit]
  • Remove the sub section because that is redundant when all positions are weekly; mention in the table captions that they are for weekly chart performance of the songs

References

[edit]
  • Retitle to Notes and references

Notes

[edit]
  • John Winn says → John C. Winn says
  • Remove wikilink on India
  • Remove pipes on George Harrison and John Lennon as well as the added surnames using [], as the full names were used before this quote

Citations

[edit]
  • Cite ThoughtCo as publisher instead for ref 16 and pipe to Dotdash, plus add an archive URL

Sources

[edit]
  • WP:OVERLINK of The Beatles on the second source

Final comments and verdict

[edit]
  • Thanks for the taking the time to go through this so thoroughly. I only have one FA under my belt and its in something completely different, so I appreciate your help here. I have gone through and made most of the changes you suggested. See my comments above. Cheers. Tkbrett (✉) 13:11, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
