| ==Sections and general tasks== | |||
| *<s>Finish adding in facts and citations,</s> then copyedit for flow, quality of prose, wikilinks (preferably with the help of a good editor who hasn't worked on the article); do an AWB cleanup (wikify dates, rm redundant repeated wikilinks); act on/remove any remaining HTML comments. At the end, some refs might be convertible to "''passim''". Also, if possible, it would be great to go through some other books e.g. on The Beatles or alternative texts on McCartney and "double cite" as appropriate, or note any discrepancies. Then the article is solid as a rock. | |||
| *Work on the lead ]: we need 3 or 4 substantial paragraphs summarising the article (see ]) | |||
| *<s>Check that the lead contains nothing not in the body</s> (]) | |||
| *Expand companion article(s): ] - and may be worth a look for suitable info. | |||
| *Red links to turn blue: <s>]</s> ( - possible info), ], <s>]</s> | |||
| *Tidy up companion article(s): ] | |||
| *Songwriting and musicianship: We have the background info, but do we need more from later years and more commentary on styles, influences etc.? | |||
| *Sections: | |||
| **1960s: <s>Currently jumps from the formation of The Beatles to 1966 without explanation. ''This is gradually being filled in by Andrew.'' We need to fill in those missing years with particular emphasis on McCartney's role and experiences during that exciting time. We also need to capture some of the excitement: Macca was on top of the world, a member of the biggest band in the world.</s> Add a paragraph on ]. | |||
| **<s>Solo: If we decide to keep this arrangement, we need a paragraph of introduction to the "solo" section, which is basically '']'' to date, with subsections for each decade.</s> | |||
| **<s>1970s: Post-Beatles relationship with Lennon: Needs some more details of McCartney's relationship with Lennon - or lack thereof - in the early 1970s and more details of their reported making up.</s> What happened to the text on the '''''Ram''/''Imagine'' episode'''? I thought I'd put some in? | |||
| **]: Possibly a bit slim? What was the "theme" of the decade? Success as a pop star I suppose, and collaborations, I suppose? Frog Chorus? | |||
| **]: Stub section. "Theme" of decade? Declining sales? | |||
| **2000s: "Theme" of decade? Critical rejuvanation on the back of successful tours? | |||
| **<s>]: Needs an intro.</s> Possibly a bit longer | |||
| **]: Needs an intro. | |||
| **]: Perhaps needs a paragraph of prose? Needs formatting. | |||
| *Fair use rationales for pictures | |||
| *Images needed/wanted: Free or ''appropriate fair use'' images of ], ], ]. (The image of ] ''might'' have to be replaced too). | |||
| <s>*Audio samples</s> Wings samples needed. | |||
| *ABOVE LIST NEEDS TO BE CHECKED AND COMPLETED ITEMS REMOVED | |||
| ==Specific issues - citations, troublesome sentences, etc.== | |||
| * "In 1974, Wings achieved hits with the singles "Jet"{{fact}}, "Band on the Run"{{fact}} and "Junior's Farm"."{{fact}} - Place chart positions and source for each "hit" into footnotes. | |||
| *<s>Marriage to Linda: A couple of references to and perhaps a direct quotation about the "idyllic marriage", one of showbiz's "miracle marriages", should be somewhere in this section. (Maybe a quote from Linda also?)</s> | |||
| *More criticisms in critique? | |||
| *Divorce: If estimates range from £50m, we need a citation for that estimate. ''We'' can't guess. | |||
| *''expand this to-do section with the HTML comments in the article'' | |||
