Fair use rationale for Image:The White Album.jpg
editImage: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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia 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.
did anybody played organ?
edithi, i'm quite sure that somebody played organ on 1:11 till 1:25. is it true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.177.44.91 (talk) 20:19, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Well, let's see. There is something in there that sounds like an organ, so it is reasonable to assume there is someone playing it. Or is what you mean to ask, "Who played it?"

- That's actually just a piano played through a guitar amplifier with effects added. Not an organ. Vonbontee (talk) 20:06, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
Class Assignment
editAs part of a class assignment, I had to critique an article. This is the one I decided to do. I went through the list of sources, and glanced through them, and they all appear to be neutral. Also, I checked the citations and I am assure that the links work since I was directed to the original source material. Again, I glanced through them, and I did not find any signs of close plariagism or plagiarism at all. Agarcia101 (talk) 20:40, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
Bass
editI know that George Harrison is credited with playing six-string bass or baritone guitar, but there is also a second and more full sounding bassline, so perhaps Paul McCartney overdubbed it - if he did so, that is - and possibly, he would've overdubbed it last, much like he did during the Sgt. Pepper sessions.
If anybody can find a source to prove that it is indeed Paul who overdubbed the fuller sounding bass, that'll be fantastic. The reason I think it was very likely Paul is because this second bassline is quite melodic and so reminiscent of his trademark style.
PS Does anybody know if George played any guitar or not? I know that Ian MacDonald didn't always get his personnel line-ups right, but I'm not sure if George played any guitar on this song. 60.240.7.105 (talk) 05:39, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
