Sections and general tasks
- Would be nice to have an organized and easy to read album list, it took me awhile to find what the new album was called, after reading I found that it was called "Memory Almost Full" but was only mentioned once and it was only about him touring for it.
- 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 will be as solid as a rock.
- Red links to turn blue: My Brave Face
- Songwriting and musicianship: We have the background info, but do we need more from later years and more commentary on styles, influences etc.?
- Sections:
- What happened to the text on the Ram/Imagine episode? I thought I'd put some in?
- Paul_McCartney#1990s: Stub section. "Theme" of decade? Declining sales?
- 2000s: "Theme" of decade? Critical rejuvanation on the back of successful tours?
- Paul_McCartney#Lifestyle: Intro possibly a bit longer
- Paul_McCartney#Discography: Perhaps needs a paragraph of prose? Needs formatting.
- Images needed/wanted: Free or appropriate fair use images of Jane Asher, Linda McCartney, Heather Mills McCartney. (The image of George Harrison might have to be replaced too).
- Wings and solo samples needed.
- How about an equipment section, including photos and documents regarding his use of the Hofner, Rickenbacker & (later on) Wal 5-string basses? Also, what model is the Gibson Firebird on the cover of Ram. Current and favorite equipment.
- ABOVE LIST NEEDS TO BE CHECKED AND COMPLETED ITEMS REMOVED
Specific issues - citations, troublesome sentences, etc.
- 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
