WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter
Issue 009 – January 2007

Beatles News

The ongoing divorce proceedings between Paul McCartney and the former Heather Mills continues to occupy the attention of the media - Heather Mills reportedly receiving unspecified death threats.

The British Post Office have released a series of stamps depicting various Beatles album covers.

Project News

The Paul McCartney article is being primped and primed for submission as a Featured Article candidate.

The good folk who have been working on the above article have turned their attention to the John Lennon page. Everyone is, of course, invited to contribute.

1 new article (by keithmall) has been listed in the Project Log since 1 December 2006, being The Beatles Book, a monthly magazine.

The hottest Project page this month has been the Macca (Paul for those not in the know!) article, again.

Other Project news... Please let the editors know if anything is happening, or just contribute it to the next newsletter.

Issue of the Month

The question of capitalising of the letter "t" in The of The Beatles has been raised again. It appears that UK style references (here and here) also maintains that the letter should be in lower case. If the Project is to be appear professional then it may have to change the format. Polite discussion is invited at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject The Beatles/Policy. If possible, please provide sources/references to support your position.
