You are invited to participate in an RfC at Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/The Beatles on the issue of capitalising the definite article when mentioning that band's name in running prose. This long-standing dispute is the subject of an open mediation case and we are requesting your help with determining the current community consensus. Thank you for your time. For the mediators. ~ GabeMc ( talk| contribs) 23:51, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Geoff's memoir "Here, There and Everywhere" needs to be discussed in detail for its factual errors and fabricated fantasyland stories, dismissal of George, John and Ringo, bias towards Paul and especially concerning sessions or events that didn't involve him as follows:
Geoff admitted in a 1979 interview that he couldn't remember much due to an unreliable memory, but he suddenly claimed to remember all of these baseless stories. What? I have read that the sessions weren't tracked or documented prior to 1965, but if so, then why are all the studio locations, recording dates, producers, balance engineers and tape ops/second engineers as well as takes, mixes, reduction mixes, editing and splicing so well-documented? I don't know whether the factual errors were intentionally or inadvertently fabricated in the book for obtaining publicity or out of jealousy over not being part of The Fab Four's inner circle, but why would he be in their inner circle? He wasn't personally employed by The Beatles the way Robert Freeman was employed as their photographer, but rather Geoff was an employee at EMI, and whilst George Martin was their producer, he went on a skiing holiday with John and Cynthia to Switzerland.
A few things to remember: you must never take somebody's personal viewpoint, opinions or feelings as fact and sometimes, we can say things that we either don't mean or are false based on our moods, not facts. Trust me, I learned that the hard way.
In regards to the Amazon reviews about the book or elsewhere, I'm very offended by comments suggesting that Paul did a lot of the guitar solos and John didn't even turn up whenever they were recording a song that George wrote, possibly because of all the myths, gossip and the manuscript from the book, but the truth is this: George did most, but not all, of the guitar solos since he was the lead guitarist and John's absences from George's songs, especially in the final years, didn't happen as often as has been reported or written, since he was present on the following:
John was only absent from "Long, Long, Long", "Savoy Truffle", "Here Comes the Sun" (due to the aforementioned car crash) and "I Me Mine" (due to holidaying in Denmark with Yoko) and as I said before, it wasn't very often that he was absent, but "Love You To" and "Within You Without You" don't count, because George recorded them largely, if not completely, by himself.
Another thing that offends me is the suggestion in the Amazon reviews is Paul being uber-tight about credits, but it has to be noted that it was probably EMI policy that they didn't always credit recording engineers on the sleeves to records until at least 1969. It's only my guess, so it may not be 100% right or accurate.

is the attribution of this cockney rebel album to stealers wheel some sort of meta-joke on emerick's poor memory? the album emerick actually worked on briefly before resigning was stealers wheel's eponymous debut. he served as one of the engineers on the cockney rebel album too, but the text presently conflates the two employments misleadingly.

It says: "On 4 September 1962, his second day at work". 4 June 1962 was a Monday. He started work on a Sunday? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.58.134.28 ( talk) 23:27, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
