Apple Records discography – Needs British LPs and singles, and US LPs. Needs restructuring. I'd propose using the Brit catalog as the basis, and having only those releases which are different in the US section. This might not be practical, however, if the cat. no.s are different (they are for the singles, not sure for the albums). Blue links need to be checked for and, if they aren't already, added to Category:Apple Records singles or Category:Apple Records albums, and the same for The Beatles/solo members singles/albums categories.
Add specific fair use rationales to Beatles-related copyrighted images, especially singles covers (see Image:In My Life - The Beatles.jpg, for example).
Improve all released Beatles songs and covers to C-class, at least.
This article does not yet have a related to do list. If you can think of any ways to improve the article, why not create one?

There is a quote at the very end of the legacy section of this article where some musician I've never heard of named Phoebe Bridgers is attacking Eric Clapton as a musician and a person. This has no place in this article and was evidently put there by someone with an axe to grind (possibly by this person herself). I think it should be removed. It's not as if they are two famous musicians who had s legendary falling out, it's a nobody taking unprovoked shots at a legend for attention. Please remove this ~2026-43715-50 (talk) 07:14, 9 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
