I'll review this...

• "extensive protests broke out in the southern United States", Southern United States

Done (and linked) Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 09:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• ” He called the protestors in the US "fascist Christians" and added "I'm very big on Christ. I've always fancied him. He was right.”, because add was used in other sentence perhaps use another verb to link his quotes together. ‘and continued’ maybe?

Redone this bit slightly Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 09:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• "The 1966 L'Osservatore Romano article noted that Lennon had apologized for his comments...", should that not be apologised as the article is written in British English?

Fixed (and the moral of this story, kids, is don't rely on your browser's spell checker) Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 09:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• Heaven is linked on "Imagine there's no heaven", but the word appears a paragraph before

Heaven doesn't need to be linked. Removed Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 09:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• Ref 6 and 9 should be The Daily Telegraph; Ref 9 needs location parameter filled. Why is ‘Knew’ capitalised on Ref 6’s title?

All fixed (I don't generally use the location parameter so I've removed it for consistency) Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 09:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• Use this link for Ref 12. Article was published in The Sunday Times, so change newspaper and add 'subscription required' template.

Done. On a related note I'm waiting for my JSTOR and BNA subscriptions to be approved, and I might soon just give up and buy them myself, as I keep running into subscription-only sources. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 09:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• Ref 16 comes from a newspaper; parameter should not be ‘publisher’ but ‘newspaper’ or ‘work’

Gone with "work" (consistent with elsewhere) 09:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• For Ref 32, CNN is not a ‘work’, but instead a publisher.

Changed (but are you sure about that)? Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 09:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• To ensure consistency replace Ref 30 and 32’s ‘author’ parameter with first and last.

Fixed. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 09:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• Again Ref 36 is The Daily Telegraph and parameter needs to be changed

Fixed Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 09:30, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• Ref 36’s "expressed disappointment at not being allowed to marry Yoko Ono in church" is a bit close to the source.

Reworded Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 09:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• Should the captions have full stops?

Depends on the content - see WP:CAPFRAG. The picture of Lennon shouldn't (it doesn't have a finite verb so can't be considered a full sentence), the stadium picture didn't but I've copyedited it to be a sentence so it now should. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 09:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Very interesting article. No dead links or dabs and only found one close-paraphrasing niggle. Will pass once comments have been addressed. Lemonade51 (talk) 23:42, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick review. I think I've addressed all the issues. The article had quite a bit of work done on it for a previous GA review, so there were some inconsistencies in formatting - thanks for spotting those. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 09:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Understand, and article passes. Have put this under 'Genres, styles and music eras', as I can't seem to find an appropriate category for this; feel free to move it if you do. Lemonade51 (talk) 10:56, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Yes, it's a bit of an oddball, falling between music, religion and historical events. I've moved it to "Music businesses and events", as I think "Genres, styles and music eras" covers continuous styles and events relating to lots of people or organisations, while this is centred round a specific incident.
