Let It Be

[edit]

"...and also was the only Beatle wife in attendance at the rooftop concert in 1969." - I don't think this is true, at least Yoko Ono was there as well, you can see it on the video.

Yoko wasn't a Beatle wife during the rooftop concert as she married John in March 1969; the concert took place on January 30th 1969. Apepper 11:24, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beatles wives

[edit]

To read and discuss my proposal to merge this into a new overview article please head over to Talk:Cynthia Powell. --kingboyk 22:35, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Possible serious problems

[edit]

On October 12, an anonymous editor 65.10.80.215 (talk · contribs) edited a series of articles, putting in what appears to be completely bogus information. The bulk of this article appears to be based on that information. Someone needs to do some verification work... --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 05:04, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed this. Can anyone change it? Tapirape 00:02, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name

[edit]

Shouldn't her name be down as Maureen Cox Starkey Tigrett? 86.29.224.48 (talk) 15:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with "Maureen Starkey Tigrett".--andreasegde (talk) 11:40, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly we have "Cox enjoyed the closeness of Cynthia Lennon and Pattie Harrison . . . " Was Pattie Boyd ever known as Pattie Harrison? I do not recall that. Unlike Maureen Starkey or Cynthia Lennon, Boyd was well known under her maiden name before her marriage, and as far as I know she kept it. Cross Reference (talk) 01:18, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Picture?

[edit]

Is there a reason why there isn't a picture of Maureen on this page? There are plenty of them out there especially when she was with Ringo.

Can someone update the picture of her with the remastered version from the Something video on the beatles’ youtube channel? Getrobbed (talk) 05:56, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

GA

[edit]

I will be working on this from now on to get it to a GA rating.--andreasegde (talk) 12:17, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing
This review is transcluded from Talk:Maureen Starkey Tigrett/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: AJona1992 (talk) 16:56, 11 July 2011 (UTC) A new reviewer is needed in order to continue and complete this GAN, as the current reviewer is on holiday for two months. Calvin • 999 22:27, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

General notes

[edit]
Lead
  • 01. "She met Starr at the Cavern Club, where The Beatles" - remove the link to The Beatles. There's already a link of the band, before this sentence. No need to over link them.
Marriage
  • 01. "Starr and the 18-year-old Cox" - remove "the" so the article can flow (doesn't make sense to add "the 18-year-old" as if there were another girl named after her)
  • 02. "Weybridge" - wikilink "unusual/unknown places"
  • 03. "She enjoyed the closeness of Cynthia Lennon and Pattie Harrison, as they often went on holiday together, shopping, and celebrated Christmas" - what do you mean by went on holiday together?
  • 04. "he had taken a case full of tinned baked beans along, but soon tired of them." - what? is this sentence missing a word?
Sinatra's birthday song
  • 01. "and notated as Apple #1" - (1) missing an 's for "Apple #1" ---> "Apple's #1" (2) Apple's #1 what? (3) #1 should be spelled out as --> "number-one"
  • 02. "and is in demand by record collectors" - needs to be written in past-tense tone.
Children
  • 01. Spacing is needed after citation #53 which begins with Starr said his...
Later life and death

Final notes

[edit]

The article needs some fixing before I can pass it to GA status. Please address the concerns that I have stated. Will be putting this article  On hold. Take care, AJona1992 (talk) 19:57, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New reviewer needed

[edit]

The reviewer has stated that he will be on holiday for two months, so it is impossible to see how he can review an article and deal with any updates. He has also said: "I'll step down [GA reviews] and allow professionals do it". I have asked for another opinion.--andreasegde (talk) 04:01, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ask for someone else to review it. Calvin • 999 22:25, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have asked for another opinion. How about you? :)--andreasegde (talk) 16:13, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've had enough of this. I will now take all of the articles I have nominated for a GA review off the list. At some time in the future (when some good and reliable GA reviewers return after their summer holidays), I will nominate them again. The GA reviews have become a joke.--andreasegde (talk) 23:08, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maureen / George Harrison

[edit]

Why not mention the song about Maureen performed by George Harrison at the January 1969 "Get Back" sessions?

"Everybody's finger-pickin', B and C and D and ...." and the chorus is simply "Maureen, oh Maureen" over and over.

Anyone know the work of the Beatles and how to write a Wikipedia entry properly?

Maureen's affair with George Harrison

[edit]

Should Maureen's affair with George be included in the article in a more comprehensive way? I know there was one incident when the Harrisons were visiting the Starkeys for a dinner party or something and George abruptly announced that he was in love with Maureen, thus incensing Ringo, upsetting Maureen and embarrassing Pattie to tears and she locked herself in the bathroom. Despite this, George continued his affair with Maureen and I know that John disliked what George did and described it as virtual incest, but why would he describe it as incest? It's not like George was having an affair with his own sister Louise, which definitely constitutes incest, but I don't know how Paul felt about it, since he never commented on this.

My theory of why The Beatles' first marriages and/or relationships failed and ended in divorce was because of the fame coming on so abruptly and the fact that they married in their early twenties (in Paul's case, he was in a domestic partnership with actress Jane Asher, but he never married her.) Paul was sensible enough not to marry too young or too early, because otherwise he wouldn't have settled down into matrimonial bliss with Linda.61.69.217.3 (talk) 12:36, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that your theory is correct. Regardless, the article has been updated by other during the past five years to more thoroughly capture Maureen's affair with George Harrison. I don't know how much more WP:RS information is available to expand upon it at this point, given Maureen's very untimely death at the age of 48 in 1994. Thank you, IP editor, for your suggestions!--FeralOink (talk) 06:52, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
