Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit · refresh) WPBeatles: There is no official "References" section, and few, if any, in-line references, but the article is very well-rounded. It covers George's entire life: early life, life with the Beatles, and life by decades after that. It has a few pictures, mostly of him, but a few more wouldn't hurt. (Maybe some on the left side of the page?)--Gordon (2 April 2006) Needs inline citations (probably shouldn't be an A without them, as it wouldn't get GA). --kingboyk 11:19, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Beatles

If you like contributing to articles about The Beatles, you should add your name to this list... :) --andreasegde 22:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I removed the entire "Quotes" section

This is not Wikiquote, see WP:NOT.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 14:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Overview

The Overview section should be a part of the Lead, or merged into the article.--andreasegde (talk) 17:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Death certificate; legal residence

The SmokingGon.com web site has an image of George Harrison's death cerificate posted at TSG --- one piece of information presented at the TSG site is that Harrison's legal residence was within Lugano, Switzerland:

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/gharrisoncert1.html

I do not know if that legal residence implies nationality, but I did not recall seeing this information within the Wiki article. Bee Cliff River Slob (talk) 16:29, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] gretsch duo jet

should George's gretsch duo jet be included in his notable instruments section? it was common in the Beatles' early days and often seen in the Ed Sullivan pictures. Wonderwallmusic (talk) 03:41, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] guitarists-in-law

regarding one minor [citation needed] bit:

Despite this, Harrison and Clapton remained close friends, calling themselves "husbands-in-law."[citation needed]

what i've read is that George referred to Eric as his guitarist-in-law. if you google that you'll see references to it - i don't know if any of them look eminently cite-worthy, but it must be in some decent Harrison and/or Clapton literature. i'm suggesting:

Despite this, Harrison and Clapton remained close friends; Harrison sometimes referred to Clapton as his "guitarist-in-law."[citation needed]

hope that helps a little ... swing on Sssoul (talk) 20:56, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Good grief...

This article badly needs references. You could find loads of them in related articles: Pattie Boyd, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, or The Beatles. If you comb through these articles, you will find lots. It's all there...--andreasegde (talk) 16:01, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] -ize vs -ise

i don't object to the -ise spelling variant in UK-oriented articles (and am definitely in favour of consistency within an article!), but thought it's worth pointing out that -ize is now preferred by Oxford, and has been adopted by a bunch of venerable institutions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28spelling%29#British_English_with_Oxford_Spelling_.28-ize.29 isn't that interesting Sssoul (talk) 11:42, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Harrison quote

moved from Krishnaism talk page.

I found this quote. But do not know where to place it:

These days, of course, George has forsaken most of the external signs of his interest in Krishnaism. But by no means should that lead anyone to believe he is not intensely serious about the process of devotional service. Page 12 of Dark Horse: The Life And Art Of George Harrison Geoffrey Giuliano

Any suggestions?

Good idea. Let us see how this will go. Wikidās-ॐ 14:00, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] please add?

Could someone who is knowledgeable about this perhaps add a list of those Beatles songs that were written by George Harrison? Thank you. Iris Anthe (talk) 00:08, 31 May 2008 (UTC) Iris Anthe
