FAR commentary
[edit]FA from 2004, referencing/1c issues. Article seems a bit short, considering the popularity of the song, surely there must be more discussion of it in WP:RS/WP:V secondary sources. Also, lots of short paragraphs and one-sentence paragraphs throughout, could use copyediting. There is not much info in the article about musical composition, certainly not much that is sourced.

Comments from Rodhullandemu
- First thoughts: Initial issues were (a) a {{cn}} tag on the original lyrics; these appear to have originated, as far as I can tell, from a factoid sourced to a poorly-written book, so for the time being, I've deleted that claim. (b) A deadlink to Guinness World Records.com, which I've resurrected from the wayback machine, but it doesn't substantiate the claim of 3000 cover versions, so I've corrected that; in particular, for a FA, the list of "eclectic" cover versions requires sourcing, and I've yet to find a reliable and definitive list.

- Have added a section on "Musical structure". Probably needs reviewing for style & against sources. Rodhullandemu 02:05, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Realist2
- A lot of the article is sourced by http://www.beatles-discography.com/ so those all need replacing.

FARC commentary
[edit]- Suggested FA criteria concern are citations, comprehensiveness. Also note the recent change to WP:WIAFA (1c) requiring "high-quality" sources. YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) 02:32, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist, per FA criteria concerns. Cirt (talk) 05:01, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Still a few dead links and unsourced parts, so removed YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) 03:42, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
