I found what I think is an error in the acoustic guitar section: Paul actually did not play acoustic guitar on the song I'm Looking Through You - John did - and as usual, Ian MacDonald is wrong with his dodgy assertions of who played what and he provided no evidence to verify his claims. 60.241.106.149 ( talk) 04:10, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

In the last paragraph of the section 1960–1970: The Beatles, the last two sentences currently read "He filed a suit for the band's formal dissolution on 31 December 1970, and in March 1971 the court appointed a receiver to oversee Apple's finances. An English court legally dissolved the Beatles' partnership on 9 January 1975, though sporadic lawsuits against their record company EMI, Klein, and each other persisted until 1989." Neither "Apple" (Apple Corps, the Beatles' business entity as of January 1968) nor "Klein" (Allen Klein, the Beatles' business manager as of May 1969) have been mentioned prior to this passage; presumably some earlier explanatory references were edited out without fixing these subsequent references. Appropriate identification of both Apple and Klein should be added here or earlier, as well as links to the entries for Allen Klein and Apple Corps.

I don't think anyone is trying to minimise their early career, but I question how widespread the nicknames were and how notable they are now. It seems to me that they were mostly a North American thing. Additionally, the nicknames are part of the cultural memory of those who grew up in the Beatlemania era but they haven't really endured for generations of fans since. In a lead that covers such a long career, I don't think it is notable enough. Humbledaisy ( talk) 19:33, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
I have read your comment and ILIL's links and I don't appreciate the assumption that I hadn't. It's certainly something that belongs in the text somewhere and/or the main Beatles article where the nicknames are currently entirely absent. I don't believe these nicknames were common outside of North America whilst the Beatles were together - I've been searching UK newspaper and music magazine archives and found no mention yet. "Yeah, yeah, yeah" defined the Beatles worldwide for a time in 1963/64; it was hugely recognised, parodied, referenced and even became a nickname for the group in parts of Europe. However, I'm sure you'd agree it's not notable enough for the lead of the Beatles article. In the case of "How Do You Sleep?", I don't think we can say for sure that Lennon is referring specifically to the nickname. Humbledaisy ( talk) 20:13, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

The section regarding the relationships Paul McCartney had says that he had one with Jane Asher. However - on her page, Jane Asher's birthday is listed as 5th April 1946. The aforementioned section says that they began a relationship, with her moving in with him in November 1963. This means she would have been 17 at this time. Therefore I think the article should be amended to remove the framing as a "relationship" - as a 17 year old (who is a child) cannot consent to have a relationship with an adult. What do you all think about this? I would like a consensus to be reached. 92.0.35.8 ( talk) 14:51, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

I still don't think there's any good reason for it to be there. I think I said this last time - it's a nickname seemingly popular only in North America and only for a brief period in his career nearly 60 years ago. Additionally, I don't think including it in the lead fulfils the purpose of covering McCartney's "lightweight" perception. I can't see someone reading that he was once called "the cute Beatle" during Beatlemania and deducing a persistent criticism of his work. Humbledaisy ( talk) 19:37, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

The article states: In October 2000, McCartney's art debuted in his hometown of Liverpool. McCartney said, "I've been offered an exhibition of my paintings at the Walker Art Gallery ... where John and I used to spend many a pleasant afternoon. So I'm really excited about it. I didn't tell anybody I painted for 15 years but now I'm out of the closet". McCartney is lead patron of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, a school in the building formerly occupied by the Liverpool Institute for Boys.
I think it should also be noted that Queen Elizabeth II. both visited his exhibition and attended the opening of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, which she also supported with a grant.

I am suggesting these changes because I feel the "Paul is Dead" conspiracy is notable enough to at least get its own paragraph. For one, the idea that their music "hides the truth" is important to the theory, and should be given a brief mention, and that, although the rumours have been refuted, have not entirely died down from popularity:
change:
"In March 1969, McCartney married his first wife, Linda Eastman, and in August, the couple had their first child, Mary, named after his late mother.[73] Abbey Road was the band's last recorded album, and Martin suggested "a continuously moving piece of music", urging the group to think symphonically.[74] McCartney agreed, but Lennon did not. They eventually compromised, agreeing to McCartney's suggestion: an LP featuring individual songs on side one, and a long medley on side two.[74] In October 1969, a rumour surfaced that McCartney had died in a car crash in 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike, but this was quickly refuted when a November Life magazine cover featured him and his family, accompanied by the caption "Paul is still with us".[75]"

This rumour was quickly refuted when a November Life magazine cover featured him and his family, accompanied by the caption "Paul is still with us".[75] Despite this, the rumours still persist." 76.78.141.155 ( talk) 08:31, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
I'm wondering what we think of the new infobox picture added today, from this year's Taylor Hawkins tribute concert. I think the 2021 photograph it replaced is far superior - better focus and a more-neutral expressed - but I don't want to jump the gun and revert immediately.

The original post here is an absurd statement. "Not denying" is not the same as "affirming". A lot of celebrities neither deny nor affirm (possibly false) tabloid rubbish so as not to give it more publicity. I haven't denied that I'm a co-conspirator in the assassination of JFK, but that doesn't mean that I admit that I am. Sundayclose ( talk) 02:42, 27 December 2022 (UTC) |

Please change McCartney's capable instruments from "vocals, bass guitar, guitar, keyboards" to "vocals, bass guitar, guitar, keyboards, drums"; since he recorded multiple full albums with him on drums and he played drums for multiple other artists too. Also please change his occupations from "singer, songwriter, musician, records and film producer, businnesman" "singer, songwriter, musician, records and film producer, multimedia artist, businnesman"; since he painted for years and had an exhibiton of his work, since he wrote multiple children books and a poetry book, since he's about to held an exhibition of his photographs this next July, since he wrote the Give My Regards To Broad Street and Rupert and the Frog Song movies. 2A02:1210:66A0:6E00:6D82:5DF4:165B:2943 ( talk) 10:55, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

A "Covers" subtitle should be created in the discography section and CHOBA B CCCP, Kisses On The Bottom, Run Devil Run, Thrillington and Give My Regards To Broad Street should be packed under it; Thrillingtone should also have the label "(Ram remake)" and Give My Regards To Broad Street should have the label "(soundtrack)". Also a "Remix" subtitle should be created and Twin Freaks and McCartney III Imagined should be packed under it. Liverpool Sound Collage should be in the solo discography since it's not a remix album. The Family Way should be in the classical album section with the label "(soundtrack)"; since it's a classical album. The "Other" subtitle should be eliminated.

I removed an uncited sentence that stated Jim was not at Paul's birth due to working as a volunteer firefighter at the time. This is contradicted by both the Davies biography (p23) and the Lewisohn biography (extended edition p83). He was working nights as a firefighter at the time, but was at the hospital, though not in the room; in the 1940s in the UK it was not common for fathers to be in the room for the birth of their child. Jim came in immediately after the birth, even before the baby was washed. Quark1005 ( talk) 21:50, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
Some errors in the text. Paul wrote I want to hold your hand, Abbey Road studios went out with information about this. Paul had written about 95 % about of the song when John Lennon came by Jane Ashers parents. It was Paul McCartneys love song to Jane Asher written by Paul McCartney written by Paul McCartney on Piano an instrument John Lennon could not play at that time. Pauls inspiration to the song title was his own song ” I wanna be your man” you can see in Pauls songwriting lyrics to I want to hold your hand was ” I wanna hold your hand ” but the song was changed by the publishing company because they wanted British English instead of Americsn English which Paul wanted for the song that would break them in USA. The melody was taken from Pauls song ” Hold me tight”. Paul described the how he wrote the song in Melody maker no 1 1964. ” Lets see, I was told we were going to write a song that really could get going, so I sat at the piano and started bangibg away, suddenly a bit came Theo me the catch line, then I took it from there and the lyrics came to me. I wrote the text down, and presented it to the band and our producer the next day and after that we recorded it”. In his latest book he says ” I was 21 years old when I wrote I want to hold your hand, holding hands, open brackets and probably à LOT more ( sex in this Chase)” he goes on to say ” there was à LOT of erotics behind it all, erotism was very much a drivning gorce behind everything I did”. Other songs wrote the absolute biggest part of which is incorrect in the text is ” Cant buy me love” ” I SAw here standing there”, ” Yellow submarine” and Quite a few more.

The section regarding the relationships Paul McCartney had says that he had one with Jane Asher. However - on her page, Jane Asher's birthday is listed as 5th April 1946. The aforementioned section says that they began a relationship, with her moving in with him in November 1963. This means she would have been 17 at this time. Therefore I think the article should be amended to remove the framing as a "relationship" - as a 17 year old (who is a child) cannot consent to have a relationship with an adult. What do you all think about this? I would like a consensus to be reached. 92.0.35.8 ( talk) 14:51, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Is the content that he is "Sometimes called the cute Beatle" important enough for the lead section?
In my view, probably not. Does "sometimes" establish the significance of this? Kind Tennis Fan ( talk) 02:42, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
I still don't think there's any good reason for it to be there. I think I said this last time - it's a nickname seemingly popular only in North America and only for a brief period in his career nearly 60 years ago. Additionally, I don't think including it in the lead fulfils the purpose of covering McCartney's "lightweight" perception. I can't see someone reading that he was once called "the cute Beatle" during Beatlemania and deducing a persistent criticism of his work. Humbledaisy ( talk) 19:37, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

The article states: In October 2000, McCartney's art debuted in his hometown of Liverpool. McCartney said, "I've been offered an exhibition of my paintings at the Walker Art Gallery ... where John and I used to spend many a pleasant afternoon. So I'm really excited about it. I didn't tell anybody I painted for 15 years but now I'm out of the closet". McCartney is lead patron of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, a school in the building formerly occupied by the Liverpool Institute for Boys.
I think it should also be noted that Queen Elizabeth II. both visited his exhibition and attended the opening of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, which she also supported with a grant.

I am suggesting these changes because I feel the "Paul is Dead" conspiracy is notable enough to at least get its own paragraph. For one, the idea that their music "hides the truth" is important to the theory, and should be given a brief mention, and that, although the rumours have been refuted, have not entirely died down from popularity:
change:
"In March 1969, McCartney married his first wife, Linda Eastman, and in August, the couple had their first child, Mary, named after his late mother.[73] Abbey Road was the band's last recorded album, and Martin suggested "a continuously moving piece of music", urging the group to think symphonically.[74] McCartney agreed, but Lennon did not. They eventually compromised, agreeing to McCartney's suggestion: an LP featuring individual songs on side one, and a long medley on side two.[74] In October 1969, a rumour surfaced that McCartney had died in a car crash in 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike, but this was quickly refuted when a November Life magazine cover featured him and his family, accompanied by the caption "Paul is still with us".[75]"

This rumour was quickly refuted when a November Life magazine cover featured him and his family, accompanied by the caption "Paul is still with us".[75] Despite this, the rumours still persist." 76.78.141.155 ( talk) 08:31, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
I'm wondering what we think of the new infobox picture added today, from this year's Taylor Hawkins tribute concert. I think the 2021 photograph it replaced is far superior - better focus and a more-neutral expressed - but I don't want to jump the gun and revert immediately.

The original post here is an absurd statement. "Not denying" is not the same as "affirming". A lot of celebrities neither deny nor affirm (possibly false) tabloid rubbish so as not to give it more publicity. I haven't denied that I'm a co-conspirator in the assassination of JFK, but that doesn't mean that I admit that I am. Sundayclose ( talk) 02:42, 27 December 2022 (UTC) |

Please change McCartney's capable instruments from "vocals, bass guitar, guitar, keyboards" to "vocals, bass guitar, guitar, keyboards, drums"; since he recorded multiple full albums with him on drums and he played drums for multiple other artists too. Also please change his occupations from "singer, songwriter, musician, records and film producer, businnesman" "singer, songwriter, musician, records and film producer, multimedia artist, businnesman"; since he painted for years and had an exhibiton of his work, since he wrote multiple children books and a poetry book, since he's about to held an exhibition of his photographs this next July, since he wrote the Give My Regards To Broad Street and Rupert and the Frog Song movies. 2A02:1210:66A0:6E00:6D82:5DF4:165B:2943 ( talk) 10:55, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

A "Covers" subtitle should be created in the discography section and CHOBA B CCCP, Kisses On The Bottom, Run Devil Run, Thrillington and Give My Regards To Broad Street should be packed under it; Thrillingtone should also have the label "(Ram remake)" and Give My Regards To Broad Street should have the label "(soundtrack)". Also a "Remix" subtitle should be created and Twin Freaks and McCartney III Imagined should be packed under it. Liverpool Sound Collage should be in the solo discography since it's not a remix album. The Family Way should be in the classical album section with the label "(soundtrack)"; since it's a classical album. The "Other" subtitle should be eliminated. That's a more correct and immediate way to give proper information about McCartney's outputs. 2A02:1210:66E4:B400:B4BB:B946:C9CB:A0F5 ( talk) 15:50, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

I removed an uncited sentence that stated Jim was not at Paul's birth due to working as a volunteer firefighter at the time. This is contradicted by both the Davies biography (p23) and the Lewisohn biography (extended edition p83). He was working nights as a firefighter at the time, but was at the hospital, though not in the room; in the 1940s in the UK it was not common for fathers to be in the room for the birth of their child. Jim came in immediately after the birth, even before the baby was washed. Quark1005 ( talk) 21:50, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
Some errors in the text. Paul wrote I want to hold your hand, Abbey Road studios went out with information about this. Paul had written about 95 % about of the song when John Lennon came by Jane Ashers parents. It was Paul McCartneys love song to Jane Asher written by Paul McCartney written by Paul McCartney on Piano an instrument John Lennon could not play at that time. Pauls inspiration to the song title was his own song ” I wanna be your man” you can see in Pauls songwriting lyrics to I want to hold your hand was ” I wanna hold your hand ” but the song was changed by the publishing company because they wanted British English instead of Americsn English which Paul wanted for the song that would break them in USA. The melody was taken from Pauls song ” Hold me tight”. Paul described the how he wrote the song in Melody maker no 1 1964. ” Lets see, I was told we were going to write a song that really could get going, so I sat at the piano and started bangibg away, suddenly a bit came Theo me the catch line, then I took it from there and the lyrics came to me. I wrote the text down, and presented it to the band and our producer the next day and after that we recorded it”. In his latest book he says ” I was 21 years old when I wrote I want to hold your hand, holding hands, open brackets and probably à LOT more ( sex in this Chase)” he goes on to say ” there was à LOT of erotics behind it all, erotism was very much a drivning gorce behind everything I did”. Other songs wrote the absolute biggest part of which is incorrect in the text is ” Cant buy me love” ” I SAw here standing there”, ” Yellow submarine” and Quite a few more. Counting statistics Paul wrote 15 no 1 singles for the Beatles ( USA or England) and John wrote 8. The they wrote a couple of songs together. 217.213.122.219 ( talk) 23:52, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
