[edit]

At the end of the Personal Life section, there are two places where two hyphen are used (--) instead of an en-dash (–). An em-dash (—) would also work here. Robotapollo (talk) 09:17, 1 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

 Done Changed to spaced en dashes per MOS:CONFORM and MOS:DASHVAR. Day Creature (talk) 18:19, 1 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Image for Infobox

[edit]

I believe that this image of George Harrison in 1968 should replace the current image of Harrison in 1974. This image is a posed photograph taken during fall 1968 during the White Album and it is in general much better than the photo in 74 -- it is color and Harrison has a much better expression compared to the pic of him in the White House.

Yep that's good with me. The 74 image is awful and needs to be replaced. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 18:28, 9 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
I do think this image is better, however it is cropped a bit on the right – any way this could be fixed? Elephantranges (talk) 18:51, 9 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
The photo was taken as a closeup like this — this is part of a set in which all four Beatles had closeups for their 1968 album, but it really doesn’t matter Wcamp9 (talk) 23:21, 9 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
The is photo is so much better quality and is in color. This is the obvious pick over that ugly 1974 image. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 21:36, 9 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
Yeah this is one of the only "non-candid" photos of Harrison available on WP and it's the best option. The site has had to deal with that horrid '74 image for years. Having something else, even if it's a promotional shot, is infinitely better. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 16:33, 10 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

sister Louise deserves WP article

[edit]

I submit that George's older sister, Louise Harrison Caldwell, deserves own Wikipedia article. From her home in Benton, Illinois, she was part-time unofficial Beatles US promo person, pushing radio stations in nearby markets to play The Beatles. IIRC she convinced Brian Epstein and George Martin that EMI's Capitol should sign the Beatles for North America Doug Grinbergs (talk) 04:57, 30 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
