The authors in the section "Musiscianship / Songwriting" and in the beginning of the whole entry skip two songs to which Starr contributed as a writer: "Free as a bird" and "Real love", both released under the name The Beatles. Alejandroflopezz (talk) 15:34, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In the Personal life section, we have Ringo and his wife splitting their time between LA and Monte Carlo at the beginning of the paragraph about his homes. But at the end of the paragraph their time is divided between LA and London. Boscaswelltalk10:23, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But he sold the Cranleigh property 12 years ago? So they can't be spending any time there any more? The supporting source is 20 years old. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:10, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
thank you, I think you'd need to show that was true at the time of his birth as districts can change and you'd need to provide reliable sources, as the existing sources appear to refer to Dingle, Tom B (talk) 16:45, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article reads like it was written by a Beatlemania fan. There is barely any mention of Starr's drug-addled alcoholism and serial abuse to his romantic partners. He flagrantly cheated on Maureen and barbara for years, and is known to have hit Barbara violently on numerous occasions, with one incident almost killing her according to his own words. The article on Mccartney is also poor. He constantly cheated on Jane, ended a relationship with Dot Rhone as soon as she miscarried and was very controlling over her, he wrote a vitriolic and racist letter to Yoko Ono with the J-slur in it, and that's barely discussed. I'm not saying they're bad people, I appreciate Starr for repenting and he's certainly much better now, Paul was much better by the time he was married with Linda, and I think the Beatles are easily the greatest modern music artists, but their articles right now are just rows and rows of positive information with nothing critical at all. All of the information I've said is easily accessible on Google with reliable sources. I can at least say that the articles on Lennon and Harrison seem to have been written more neutrally, though the time John threw a brick into Mccartney's house and broke into his property probably warrants a mention. 2A02:C7C:FE2B:5C00:F9F1:611B:D548:1ED5 (talk) 09:01, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. I don't know how to format references and this will take a while to type, so forgive me for any delay.
There are various sources about Starr's abuse and this should be fairly easy to prove given that he's actually spoken about this unlike some of the other incidents further down this text. The abuse w/ Maureen is mentioned in a paragraph in Maureen Starkey Tigrett#Marital problems and divorce, even though there's not much of a mention in Ringo's article for some reason. I didn't find much of a problem with the sources provided there and they seem to provide enough evidence to be brought over to Ringo's entry. I don't think he's ever hit Maureen and I would be surprised if that information ever came out.
There's a one line mention in Barbara's biography, which is very poor. The martial issues were certainly worse than the oft-talked about slap from John to Cynthia, and the issues had been intensified due to alcoholism. E.G. the biography Ringo: A Little Help corroborates my claim. interview w/ Inside Edition I don't have personal access to the book, but there's a comment by the author Michael Starr (unrelated) which states that: "They had a lot of arguments in public. Barbara was smart enough to know that this had to stop, otherwise they would die." (I'm not sure if Richard means the death part literally; his words aren't really explained well). I assume given that this was one of the things that he chose to highlight to journalists about his book that it is mentioned in the biography and more can be said. It had gotten so bad to the extent that the couple had to be admitted to treatment for alcoholism in 1988, and his alcoholism is well documented e.g. picking out this source. There's an interview he does on the Donahue Show in the mid 90s where he discusses his alcoholism (from about 8.28 min in -- link). There's a source by the Independent which details some of the abuse that was going on at the time: Starr states that "I came to one Friday afternoon," he later recalled, "and was told by the staff that I had trashed the house so badly they thought there had been burglars, and I'd trashed Barbara so badly they thought she was dead."
The assertion about the racist letter by Mccartney is from Francie Schwartz, who worked at Apple Corps at the time of the incident. The claim could probably be attributed to her words specifically instead of in Wikivoice directly; that's fine by me. In her 1972 book Body Count, she says "..When they got to the anonymous note, they [John and Yoko] looked puzzled (...) 'You and your Jap tart think you're hot shit,' it said. (...) Paul hopped in, (...) "Oh, I just did that for a lark," he said in his most sugar-coated accent." I believe the Lennon vs. Mccartney book corroborates that and asserts that the letter was based on other messages John was getting due to his art exhibition. I don't have the entire corpus of Beatles books with me so there's probably other interpretations of what happened w/ regards to the letter or a better source that sheds more light. I don't think any of the Beatles or Ono have said anything about the supposed letter. 2A02:C7C:FE2B:5C00:F9F1:611B:D548:1ED5 (talk) 10:28, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
