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.
Take a photo of Kenwood.

Liverpool Institute for Boys was the most prestigious grammar school in Liverpool

In reference to article sentence: “Vaughan attended Liverpool Institute because his mother sought to separate him from Lennon, who was attending Quarry Bank High School.” reference to Lewisohn, Mark (2013). The Beatles – All These Years: Volume One: Tune In.

    No respect intended to Mark Lewiston who was shown by 2024 peer review to have permanently disgraced his own name by dishonestly breaking all history and journalism professional ethics by falsifying 20% or more of the quotes in footnotes of Tune In, the facts are: The Liverpool Institute for Boys was the most prestigious grammar school in Liverpool (for those outside the UK a “grammar school” is a college prep secondary for students age 11+) and ranked one of the best in all UK, many status rungs higher up the ladder from John Lennon's grammar school Quarry Bank, and testing high enough to gain admittance to the Liverpool Institute. was. a. tremendous. accomplishment. for. Ivan. Vaughan. Perhaps Vaughan’s mother was indeed pleased to have him at a separate school from their neighbor Lennon, but her primary motivation MUST have been getting her son the advantages of the superior school, as no one would send their child to an average grammar school like Quarry Bank when they are one of the very few to have qualified to the best one in Northern England.

    Obfuscating Vaughan's academic superiority to try and make John Lennon look better is dishonest, against Wikipedia standards, and needs to be fixed immediately. 136.38.148.165 (talk) 20:05, 5 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
