The Beatles were not "formed in Liverpool in 1960, compromising of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr." Starr joined in 1962. Accuracy is more important than how an editor personally thinks something ought be phrased. Tag: Reverted

It's therefore inaccurate to say they were "formed in Liverpool in 1960, comprising of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr." Instead, can say the band comprised of them for most of its career. Tag: Reverted

A "sabbatical" means an extended break from work, not a period where you record music and tour while not putting out solo records. Those are periods of limited activity and should be described in neutral, accurate, non-lionizing terms. Yes it's just a musician's wiki but jeez this ain't PR.
