Past and Present Images

Hi - I do disagree, and think both pics should appear. I believe it's good to have then-and-now, with-and-without, yin-and-yang images, for contrast and broader enlightenment. My only regret is that the pics weren't closer to the same size. Zephyrad 12:50, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree for two reasons: 1) the article is small, and can hardly support two pictures. 2) the 'now' photo just shows a fairly average London street. Save it for the Baker Street article (in fact, that article has no pic so I might do just that - a much better compromise. If somebody wants to see Baker Street today they go to there?
Mediawiki can scale images on-the-fly. Just change the "px" value in the image tag. --kingboyk 16:01, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. "I don't agree" means would other people please comment, not "it's not going back in" :) --kingboyk 16:13, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The present day image has been added to Baker Street. Looks grand, I hope it stays. --kingboyk 22:24, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the old picture? Article only contains the new one. Danceswithzerglings (talk) 16:58, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: "reads like it was written straight from memory"

Perhaps I should thank Thumperward for the compliment? This article was written straight from memory... of what I read in books like The Beatles: Liverpool to Legend, Philip Norman's Shout!, Hunter Davies's The Beatles, and other such works. The "original research" claim, though, is ridiculous. (I have never been to London. Not even to visit the Queen.) Zephyrad (talk) 08:28, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the Beatles

From this page: http://beatles.com/core/beatles/intro/

And I quote from none less than Derek Taylor:

I have never seen anything like it. Nor heard any noise to approximate the ceaseless, frantic, hysterical scream which met the Beatles when they took the stage after what seemed a hundred years of earlier acts. All very good, all marking time, because no one had come for anything other than the Beatles...

Now geez, wankers, if the very Derek Taylor doesn't use 'The' then now long is this Wikipedia joke going to go on?

Or do you clowns really think you have a right to rewrite history?

Don't you see people are laughing at you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.227.114.140 (talkcontribs)
