Toto?
Why is Toto at the bottom of the page? xD --98.217.61.141 (talk) 04:00, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Article needs editing
This article could use some editing. The first paragraph on the writing and recording is fair, but the rest of it is rather poor. The "speculations" section is just that; speculative. The "alternative versions" section repeats a lot of the info from the "writing" section. Maybe this comes from the use of the Beatles template, but the result is fragmented. Oh, and as someone else mentioned here, the chord changes have been used in other songs; quite a few songs share the beginning sequence of Am - Am/G - Am/F# (F#m6) and Am/F (Fmaj7).80.202.215.74 (talk) 14:24, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Paul & Ringo
I have just removed the following from the article re the 2002 Concert for George "It was the first time that Starr and McCartney had performed together since recording "All Those Years Ago" in 1981."
Does this refer to live performance? If it refers to recording sessions then it is incorrect, as Paul & Ringo recorded in 1994 for "Free as a Bird", 1995 for "Real Love" and tracks from McCartney's album Flaming Pie issued in 1997. Design 01:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Missing info
Uh, it doesn't seem to state who sings lead on the studio recorded version - is it Harrison? Stevage 08:44, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Jake shimabukuro plays this on the ukulele and that has become a very popular video, when searching for the song, that video comes up higher on google's page rank than the actual song
She's Electric X While my guitar gently weeps
this song (00:51) has the same chords as the oasis' song from theur album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, she's electric at 00:53. please note it is the same chord scheme. should it be added to the main article? (HelenoBR 00:29, 25 October 2007 (UTC))
The Concert for Bangladesh
It's asserted in The Concert for Bangladesh article that the concert was the first time it was publicly revealed that Clapton played the solo to this song. Is that a correct assertion and what would be a good reference for that if it is?-Wisekwai 19:17, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
I was under the impression that that is not the case. Lewisohn's The Compleat Beatles Recordings would be the definitive proof, I would think. Styxman 06:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Dubious Reference to Casey Vail
This anonymous edit adds a reference to "Casey Vail": 121802617
I can't find any mention of a guitarist w/ that name on google. Sounds bogus to me - Tyler Oderkirk 01:17, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Love ending
At the end of this song on the Love album, John Lennon can be heard saying quite cleary " the mike of the channel is quite low this just keeps with my maracas, you know... You know those old channels"
I don't know how, or if you want to incorporate this into the article, but there you go.
That's actually from the version of "A Day in the Life", which is the next track on the album. It's not from "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"Scmods (talk) 08:46, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:The White Album.jpg
Image:The White Album.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Misplaced Pages article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Princes Infamous Guitar Solo?
What's infamous about it? It's a great solo. Scmods (talk) 08:47, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
I have to agree. I was surprised to see the word 'infamous' in there, with its negative connotation. Is there news I'm missing? Enivel (talk) 13:11, 23 November 2007
Petty/Prince solo?
The external link seems to be to a Microsoft Media protocol, not directly playable outside the Microsoft hegemony and no longer supported by Microsoft. Unless I'm missing something (always possible), this is the external link:
http://www.warnerreprise.com/asx/tompetty_ghigentlyweeps_300-v.asx
with XML that points to the MMS server which doesn't seem to be influenced by rtsp protocol:
mms://wm.wbr.com/tompetty/gharrison_induction/tompetty_ghi_gently-weeps_300.wmv
Without something playable by the general public, shouldn't this at least be removed from the opening of the article, if not the article itself? If I'm correct, we might as well plant a 'best viewed with Microsoft Explorer' banner. I suggest demoting it into the External Links section.

The
See Misplaced Pages:Manual_of_Style#Use_of_.22The.22_mid-sentence. The "the" in "The Beatles" when speaking of the band is not capitalized mid-sentence. Same goes for the Who, the Yardbirds, the Cure, etc. Look into it (not in this haphazardly edited nightmare of an online encyclopedia, but in reputably edited printed matter), and you'll see that that's right. It's just typographical convention and is not a debatable thing, really. The "the" in The Beatles, the album name, however, is, because without it you're not reporting the true name of the album. I hope that answrs the ????? you had. --Milkbreath (talk) 11:29, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- This has been debated ad nauseum by members of Misplaced Pages:WikiProject The Beatles and current consensus is to capitalize "The". Please don't change any articles without seeking consensus first. — John Cardinal (talk) 13:18, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Please don't presume to instruct me about seeking consensus. It is not necessary to seek consensus for what is a long-established typographical convention that has no effect on content and over which one would not expect rock fans to be equipped to quibble. If some group of groupies think that the "the" gets capitalized, that's their problem, and I doubt I'll be the last fool to blunder in here copyediting in defiance of some cabal's arbitrary, idiosyncratic punctuation regime. I think it's unreasonable of you, John Cardinal, to expect anyone to look beyond the MoS for such a fiddly tweak as this one, and I'll continue to correct the capitalization of "the" in such cases wherever I find it. --Milkbreath (talk) 13:44, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
