Since the Beatles are my favorite band of all time. I am going to review this underrated song. Expect comments by the end of the week. Shoot for the Stars 💫 (talk) 17:55, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Note: Please forgive me if I get any British words or dates wrong. I'm American and am used to using the m/y/d formula and spelling way differently...

Infobox and lead

• If the song was released as a single in the United States in 1964, why is under "song" and not "single" in the infobox?
  • This is the bane of all early-Beatles songs. Some tracks were released as a single in both the UK and US, while others were released in only one market. In this case, I opted to not include the "single" designation because the song appeared on one UK album and two US albums before the B-side appeared. I think tagging it as a single would add to confusion about the song's release, especially given that the dates provided are for the first release in both countries, while the single only came later.

Overall

Article looks great. Putting it  On hold for 7 days. Amazing job on making a lot of Beatles articles GA! I've been wanting to do some myself but I'm not use to writing in British English and not using the d/m/y formula. Shoot for the Stars 💫 (talk) 03:40, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Shoot for the Stars, thanks for the review. I don't have too many Beatles GAs just yet – this will be number two – but hopefully many more to come. :) It's not too hard to write in British English; just write in American English, then wait for a Brit to come and correct you.
