[edit] Starr & Nicol

The paragraph “1964 the Illness” states that «Starr was temporarily replaced for the Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Hong Kong and Adelaide concert dates». According to Hunter Davis, Mark Lewisohn, Bill Harry, Bob Spitz and many others, Starr was NOT replaced by Nicol in Sweden, just because no concert dates were scheduled in Sweden, where in fact the band had played in october 1963. --Lineadombra (talk) 15:48, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

[edit] protected

I think this article should be protected, Starr was a member of The Beatles, and [the article] is at risk for vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.101.25.149 (talk) 18:06, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Number of Beatles songs w/o Ringo on drums

Hi, the end of the section says that Ringo plays drums on all but 5 released Beatles tracks, and goes on to list the five tracks. However, the list is incomplete---from the top of my head, I can add "Martha My Dear", "Wild Honey Pie" and "Dear Prudence" to the list (check the personnel info on the song pages). I propose dropping the statement altogether, or at least leaving out the numbers unless we find a good source for them. Otherwise it ends up being original research on our part. --Georgepauljohnringo (talk) 10:10, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Not to mention that it ignores the existence of Beatles songs that don't have drums at all (Eleanor Rigby, Good Night, She's Leaving Home, A Beginning, etc.). I say we cut the statement. It seems little more than trivia anyway. Evanh2008, Super Genius Who am I? You can talk to me... 10:41, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
YesY Done. Statement removed, as it was clearly original research with no citation to be had. Cheers :> Doc talk 11:59, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
