Apple Records discography – Needs British LPs and singles, and US LPs. Needs restructuring. I'd propose using the Brit catalog as the basis, and having only those releases which are different in the US section. This might not be practical, however, if the cat. no.s are different (they are for the singles, not sure for the albums). Blue links need to be checked for and, if they aren't already, added to Category:Apple Records singles or Category:Apple Records albums, and the same for The Beatles/solo members singles/albums categories.
Add specific fair use rationales to Beatles-related copyrighted images, especially singles covers (see Image:In My Life - The Beatles.jpg, for example).
Improve all released Beatles songs and covers to C-class, at least.

Flagging the phrase "anti-Nixon propaganda". An individual expressing their opinion, no matter how famous they may be, is not propaganda. Propaganda is sytemic and almost always propagated by governments or other complex organisations. This feels like politicized language ~2026-19419-96 (talk) 04:37, 29 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

The sentence "In he mid-1960s," includes a typo, as this article is protected I am unable to fix it. Sorry if I should't use Talk for this. ~2026-28902-92 (talk) 08:34, 13 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the callout! It's been fixed. Typically, non-account holders can fix basic things such as typos themselves, but for larger edits, it's encouraged to create an account. Hope this helps! – zmbro(talk) (cont)12:52, 13 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

The source cited for the claim that Lennon had dyslexia is a very flimsy one, being a brief bio on a dyslexia website citing no other sources in turn. Brief internet searching leads me to believe that Lennon was never formally diagnosed and that this claim originated with Albert Goldman's book The Lives of John Lennon, which is considered an untrustworthy source with lots of speculation presented as fact. Should this be changed to say that it's been speculated he was dyslexic, or perhaps removed entirely? ~2026-31876-13 (talk) 03:10, 29 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
