Hi, I will be reviewing this against the GA criteria as part of a GAN sweep. I'll leave some comments soon. JAGUAR 17:18, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Jag. Thanks for taking this one – looking forward to your review. JG66 (talk) 19:02, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Jaguar, sorry to hassle but any chance of a review sometime soon? Having said that, I'm only going to have limited time over Xmas/New Year so perhaps it's best to wait. (In other words, I'm really posting here to ensure that the review's still "alive" – that one of us has posted something here recently!) No rush, as far as I'm concerned. Best, JG66 (talk) 02:43, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- @JG66: I'm so sorry, I completely forgot about this! I've never done that to a review before! I have no idea how I could have missed doing this. I'll finish the review today. Again, my apologies! JAGUAR 09:49, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Checking against the GA criteria
[edit]- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- "and on Lennon's "Rain"" - this has already been linked
- "as to what he wanted to call the track." - there is a harvref error at the end of this sentence
- "The Beatles taped the main track" - how about recorded, unless taped is the preferred term to use?
- "The band recorded five takes of the song before Harrison selected take 3 for further work" - how about The band recorded five takes of the song before Harrison selected the third take for further work (feel free to ignore)
- Just to point out that the book Eight Arms to Hold You: The Solo Beatles Compendium isn't used anywhere in the article
- a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

This is an excellent article. It is well written, comprehensive, and the sources all check out. I could only check the online sources but couldn't find any issues there. I knew that this would pass outright when I first read it! Again I must apologise for the late review, I accidentally checked this one off a couple of weeks ago. JAGUAR 11:20, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- Jaguar, thanks so much, you're too kind. I really hope I didn't rush you. I've been working on the article for the parent album, Revolver, and it just dawned on me today: hang on, haven't I got one of these songs nominated for GA?! With those issues you raised, I'll remove the 2nd link for "Rain" and Madinger & Easter from the list of sources; and (thank you) I've just corrected the Turner ref error you mentioned. Will change to "third take" as you suggest, unless anything else comes to light (I'm thinking: could be a mention thereabouts of first or second something or other, and me wanting to avoid another ordinal – I'm not sure). "Taped" strikes me as a possible keep, because of the variation in wording it gives from "recording/recorded", not to mention the implication (if a reader needs it) that all recording was analogue during this era … Again, big thanks Jag. Go well, JG66 (talk) 13:36, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- You're welcome, and thanks for understanding! It came as a shock to me this morning when I realised I left an unfinished review this late LOL. Again, excellent work with this. I agree with you with keeping "taped", as this was an analogue era and seems to give the reader more of a variety. JAGUAR 13:52, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
