Lead image
Jumping here before further edit warring on the lead image. The 1969 image has been in place for a while, and User:Eggbrother has been trying to change it to this image from 1964. There's not a great difference in quality between them, as both are crops. The 1964 image has some merits - it's in color, and arguably more iconic as it's from such a famous tv appearance. Still, I weakly support retaining the 1969 photo. One, I think being black and white hides/"excuses" (probably not the right word) some of the quality issue. And, while only having the look for a short time (and being still in the band while having it), I think it speaks more to Lennon as a person apart from his time in the Beatles - all my opinion. Seltaeb Eht (talk) 03:12, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- in my opinion, i think the image underneath should replace the image of Lennon in Formation, fame and touring: 1956–1966. Notrimoes (talk) 17:03, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Also, while there are certainly different options at Commons, I don't see anything better than either of these personally. Seltaeb Eht (talk) 03:14, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- I think this 1974 image of Lennon (perhaps with some retouching to remove specks and scratches) would make a good candidate for lead image. It doesn't have the same "deer in the headlights" lighting quality or glazed expression, as pointed out by Echoedmyron and ili, that the current image does, contains greater detail, and isn't a crop from a photo with other people. Miklogfeather (talk) 20:30, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- it's definitely better than the current one! Artem.G (talk) 20:36, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- I think the current image is better in that he's looking fowards and has a straight and neutral pose, but I don't feel too strongly opposed to the 74 image. Humbledaisy (talk) 23:01, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- I think the 74 image is an improvement certainly, and it's one I've never seen before. Echoedmyron (talk) 02:09, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

- Agreed. The '74 image is higher quality (2k by 3k vs. 612 by 883) and encapsulates Lennon's public image very nicely. The Midnite Wolf (talk) 16:06, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- The new photo is kind of unsettling. Nothing against you personally it just kind of looks weird. HoolaHoopsSuck (talk) 14:37, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- I agree the previous black and white one was better, the current one is an odd expression TheLoyalOrder (talk) 08:55, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- I personally think it should be the silly walk picture. Really shows who he is. -me, linton411, but xsigned out and i dont know how to do the thing the other guys are doing

Member of the Order of the British Empire
Lennon returned his MBE, but it was never legally rescinded. That can only be done via the Forfeiture Committee and the Monarch (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/having-honours-taken-away-forfeiture). Since it was never legally rescinded, Lennon’s full legal name would have been John Winston Ono Lennon MBE by the time he died. So why is the MBE not shown with the rest of his name at the beginning of the article? AzXpOmU (talk) 01:41, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

John Lennon and Yoko Ono separated in September 1973, this was after the recording of mind games, this is provable by the fact that one the evolution documentary (for the new mind games release) you can hear yoko giving ideas and acting like co-producer the same way she did plastic ono band, imgaine, and stnyc. The wiki says they split right before the recording which is untrue thats all. 24.184.178.84 (talk) 02:25, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
