I feel this should be merged with the existing John Lennon article. I don't think George Smith is notable enough to warrant his own article, the details in this could easily be integrated into John Lennon's article. -- NeilEvans 18:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I now disagree with myself, because George could go into Mimi's article. Most of the stuff here is in there already, but how would you rename Mimi's page? Mimi & the Milkman? Mimi & that bloke that had a horse and cart? :) Don't forget that Jim and Mary McCartney have no page at all... -- andreasegde 09:31, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Please stop using citations from books (Cynthia's) when the page cited mentions nothing about the edit. andreasegde 01:43, 14 January 2007 (UTC) —
I think George needs some work, because he deserves it. Read the bit about his brother who was killed in France. Poor blighter... -- andreasegde 14:09, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Bugger this; this article should be a GA, if only for the fact that George helped Lennon find his creativity.-- andreasegde ( talk) 22:41, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
The GA review of this article is currently taking place at /GA1, and is transcluded below.
I have looked everywhere for one, but my search turned up nothing (not even in the books).-- andreasegde ( talk) 17:10, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
That has gone.-- andreasegde ( talk) 20:03, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Gone, but I thought it was important to say that it was the Smith family farm. -- andreasegde ( talk) 20:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Smith was the first one to give Lennon a musical instrument - which was a harmonica, and is definitely mentioned in the text.-- andreasegde ( talk) 17:10, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Also gone.-- andreasegde ( talk) 20:05, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
So... gone.-- andreasegde ( talk) 20:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
That has also gone, but I think that ancestry.com is not so bad as a reference, especially as it got the information correct about the gravestone and the family, which another page qualifies. What other "iffy" ones are there?-- andreasegde ( talk) 20:13, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Small comment: That picture of John Lennon does not add significantly to the article per WP:NFCC #8. I don't see how a pic of Lennon around the time of Smith's death justifies fair-use. Review WP:DASH--I see 1899-1918, among other mistakes.Mendips or Mendips? Be consistent. indopug ( talk) 05:55, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Are there two reviewers on this? Please explain. -- andreasegde ( talk) 21:12, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't know to whom I am talking, that's all. Tildes would be nice, because having two reviewers is a bit confusing...-- andreasegde ( talk) 21:59, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I also thought "There's not one full-name & linked John Lennon in the prose of the article!" was not dihydrogen monoxide's style, and it threw me, because it wasn't true. (Anything linked in the Lead should not be further linked in the article). :)-- andreasegde ( talk) 22:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Without wishing to make you feel bad in any way at all, I think it is a "hard-and-fast rule". I have had so many problems with this that I have to check every fifteen seconds (I open two pages at once). I wish my computer/Wikipedia could remember who I am, but it's only a Pentium 4. :))-- andreasegde ( talk) 22:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I think everything is sorted here and so am passing. Sorry about the tech issues, this process is still being fine tuned. And glad to know I have a style! :) dihydrogen monoxide ( H2O) 10:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes, you have a style.-- andreasegde ( talk) 22:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Please leave a note on my talk page when you're done with these comments. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide ( H2O) 11:07, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
