Main Page appearance: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

This is a note to let the main editors of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on June 21, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 21, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles (pictured). Released on 1 June 1967, it was an immediate commercial and critical success. After the group retired from touring, Paul McCartney had an idea for a song involving an Edwardian era military band, and this developed into a plan to release an entire album as a performance by the fictional Sgt. Pepper band. Knowing they would not have to perform the tracks live, the Beatles adopted an experimental approach to composition, writing songs such as "With a Little Help from My Friends", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "A Day in the Life". The producer George Martin's innovative recording of the album included the liberal application of signal processing. The cover, depicting the band in front of a collage of celebrities and historical figures, was designed by the English pop artists Peter Blake and Jann Haworth. One of the best-selling albums of all time, Sgt. Pepper is regarded as an important work of British psychedelia and an early concept album. One music scholar has described it as "the most important and influential rock and roll album ever recorded". (Full article...)

You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently. Nominators no longer need to calculate how many "points" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions. Please consider nominating another article, or commenting on an existing nomination, and leaving some feedback on your experience. Thank you. UcuchaBot (talk) 23:02, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Today's Featured Article: Notification

This is to inform you that Song of Innocence, which you nominated at WP:FAC, will appear on the Main Page as Today's Featured Article on 7 January 2015. The proposed main page blurb is here; you may amend if necessary. Please check for dead links and other possible faults before the appearance date. I have not scheduled an image; the lead image is copyright, the Blake image might misinform as to the nature of the article, and the other image within the article is tangential. Please let me know if you have other suggestions. Brianboulton (talk) 15:40, 18 December 2014 (UTC) Brianboulton (talk) 15:50, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I had to squeeze the text down to about 1200 characters; was there anything I left out you'd like to see put back in? - Dank (push to talk) 21:56, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Beatles Invite

Hi! I've seen you around on The Beatles' articles... Would you consider becoming a member of WikiProject The Beatles, a WikiProject which aims to expand and improve coverage of The Beatles on Wikipedia? Please feel free to join us.

Abbey Road... You're not in this picture... yet!

Todo list:

Body Count (album)

Hey Dan! Wanted to ask you to take a look at the critical reception of this album, and eventually expand it. It's a shame for a featured article to have so tiny section when plenty of reviews are available. Thanks in advance and happy holidays.--Retrohead (talk) 11:26, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation

I'd like to invite you to join the WikiProject R&B and Soul Music. We are currently on demand for new members, the project was dying, but with your help we can revive it and make it one of the best WikiProjects. Make me sure that you'll think about this and remember cooperative works can do amazing things. Regards Dfrr (talk to me:-)) 00:43, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

I totally agree with you. Complete bullcrap GA review he did. DannyMusicEditor (talk) 17:06, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @DannyMusicEditor:. Try telling that to Calvin999, J. Johnson and them at WP:GA smh Dan56 (talk) 23:47, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dan56, now that several days have passed, I'm just dropping by to offer support on this topic. FYI, there was some discussion between the reviewer and myself off-wiki that you are not aware during which I reiterated and amplified the strong suggestions I gave them, asking them not to engage that approach in the future. Likewise, I hope you take to heart the suggestions I gave to you. I don't wish to revive the discussion, I just wanted you to know you were not alone in your opinion of the situation. I feel confident your next review of this article will go much better. Keep up the good work improving Wikipedia, and all the best. Prhartcom (talk) 15:41, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Madonna articles

Hi Dan. You have been updating the critical reception sources in the Madonna articles. A big thanks for that. I wanted to ask you, since you are such a FA cohort, would you like to develop any of her article for FA? Many of them are GA already, including albums. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 04:26, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

808s & Heartbreak

Just wondering why my last edit on the 808s & Heartbreak page was reverted—to my eyes, my edit just seems less clumsy in terms of syntax and more stylistically coherent. For example: "a series of distressing personal events" sounds better and more concise to my ears than "multiple events that distressed him" (which also vaguely neglects to specify the nature of the events); or, the second sentence of the second paragraph, which lists two musical features but only explains what the latter was used for, which is grammatically awkward and a bit confusing—is the clause referring to one or both features?; or, the disconnect between the last sentence of the lead's first paragraph and the first sentence of the second paragraph, which seem to flow into each other but are needlessly broken by a paragraph break; or the awkward phrasing "to evoke a presence of tribal drums" etc.

Apart from those stylistic changes, no significant information was modified, added, or excised, so I'm not sure on what grounds a reversion needed to take place. User:GentleCollapse16 (talk) 02:57, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
