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.

I think the 1964 photo should be the lead image. It shows what people think of John Lennon, in respect to the Beatles. That, or the current 1973 photo. Ch3sp1n13 (talk) 02:33, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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.

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)[reply]
I think this '74 picture is one of the worst pictures of John Lennon I've ever seen: it's uncanny; aggressively lit; unflattering; he's wearing glasses; he's hunched forward, mid sentence; and it is not representative of any major artistic period, being neither from the 1960s nor his radical period of the early 70s. Even if it was from one of these periods, one would surely have to replace it with another contemporary photograph. The image I replaced it with, a photograph of him in 1969 taken by Linda McCartney, resolves all of these aesthetic issues, and finds him at a moment where he's part of the Beatles, but still becoming that singular figure that immediately followed their breakup.

Just because you don't like the image doesn't mean you could change it. I am saying it knowing that your photo of John Lennon is superior. However, this is not your photograph, not under CC0, it's Linda McCartney's photograph Wcamp9 (talk) 03:30, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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
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)[reply]

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)[reply]
