The result of the debate was keep [added by Andre🚐 23:08, 15 August 2022 (UTC) for afdstats]

Not-even-slang term. Reads like a copyvio, but I can't find it. Who's Tristan? RickK 23:57, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's very commonly used online. By me, anyway. Voporak 16:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)]]
 * Object. The word is important part of Internet culture. Plus it gets 326,000 Google hits. Neutrality 00:02, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've NPOV'ed it and removed the odd Tristan reference.  This is a definite, definite, definite, definite, definite, definite, definite, definite, definite, definite, definite, definite, definite, definite, definite, definite, definite, definite keep.  blankfaze |  (беседа!)  00:10, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. I suppose it'd be a dicdef, but it doesn't actually seem to mean anything :)  It's a fairly common piece of leet, and (to my shame) I know at least one person who says it aloud (in company, even).  It's surely not a copyvio - it's 18 months old, and has been built incrementally by numerous users.  -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 00:12, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Have caught myself saying this word ;-). --Ianb 00:30, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's a staple of Internet culture. Andre 08:41, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article itself should be wikified, but such a topic belongs on WP. Aecis 14:28, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * It's already listed in Leet and Internet slang. Does it really need its own article?  Neutral. -- Stevietheman 14:57, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * The listing on those pages are just that - lists. Several of the other words on those pages have their own articles. The page seems exactly like a less sure version of suxxor. It could possibly be improved, but it's valuable as it is. Yelyos 15:49, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * Naaah. Just because there are other bad examples doesn't mean they should be applied to the article in question.  I vote to redirect to Leet. -- Stevietheman 16:42, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to leet where, as Stevietheman says, it's already listed. The speculations about the origins of the word are just that - speculations. They do not add any verifiable facts beyond what is already listed in leet. Rossami 15:37, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Remove or Redirect to leet as stated. "It was first seen in 1994" LOL? violet/riga 15:42, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Addition: The article is all speculation and without any firm facts it has no place in a -pedia. violet/riga 16:30, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep — I enjoyed reading that article. It is a very informative and useful article to have, and it distinguishes us from traditional old-fashioned antiquated paper encyclopedias. — Timwi 15:43, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's widespread enough on its own as a term that it deserves an separate article. Yelyos 15:49, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep or redirect. It deserves its own entry. Pahalial 17:04, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's listed on leet, but any slang term with a complex etymology and/or near-ubiquitous usage deserves its own article (compare pwn). • Benc • 08:36, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * "The definite origin of the term w00t is unknown" doesn't say "complex etymology" to me. violet/riga 08:51, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Um? I count five different plausible theories in the article. "Unknown" does not mean "simple". Yes, it's speculative information. But it's still potentially useful information about a frequently-used term, and therefore has a place in the Wikipedia. • Benc • 10:35, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Theories yes but there isn't anything factual there - I know of at least one other claim to be the true etymology. Though I understand and agree that it has a place being mentioned in a -pedia I don't see how such pure speculation as to it's origins can be included. violet/riga 10:47, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep In case others have not noticed, w00t has now moved beyond internet-only usage and into the mainstream. The Steve 08:55, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)
 * No, actually I have not noticed that. Please provide evidence so that I can consider revising my vote. Rossami
 * Only anecdotal I'm afraid. I've caught several non-computer-savvy people using it.  I'm willing to admit that I could be wrong...  The Steve 11:17, Aug 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's definately in widespread usage. Plenty of etymologies are highly speculative. --Nickco3 12:32, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Mike H 21:11, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. I see no harm in leaving this here. Also, it IS a very commonly used word on several internet communities, so if someone is confused they may easily find the meaning here if kept. AaAA
 * Keep. It's a different enough concept from the rest of Leet that it deserves its own article, like pwn. Ilya 01:45, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Leet and absorb any valuable content into that article. W00t is certainly one of the most frequently seen words in leet slang, but I don't know why that fact alone should merit a separate article.  There's nothing so complex or nuanced about its usage or etymology that it can't be reduced to a paragraph in the article on Leet.   —Triskaideka 00:49, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Although I detest the word, I hear it all the time. Historie Pete 18:38, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * KEEP - Just like pwn and this word needs to have its own page. If there is a problem with the article itself it can be edited. --Windfinder 15:49, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very common word on the Internt, and the article is extremely useful in explaining it to people who encounter it without knowing what it means.  --Goobergunch 19:35, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Jrc 18:57, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep I wrote the comment on the rap origins since I had heard it used as w00t in that context (online gaming, but with references to rap culture) before I had seen it used in geek-admin-speak, and which apparently came later. The word was used fairly separately from the rest of l33t because of that origin as well.  You'd usually see things like "w00t there it is", and you know, it wasn't just lamer teenage "i pwned you" speak.  It could be a cultural-sexual reference encoding hyper-sexual emotional responses to embarassingly rare social contact in anonymous internet chat rooms.  So then, that's a pretty interesting origin.  At least relative to the general topic of l33t speak origins, which as a whole is just an amusement.  If you delete this entry, I pledge to start a subversive revolutionary movement called "Save the w00t!", and bring crushing masses of l33t gamers to bear, the only true protectors of internet culture.  Or at least I'll make T-Shirts about it and try to get some friends to wear them.  -- Pablo Mayrgundter 18:57, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * On Google "W00t" gives 333,000 results (more that l33t at 205,000). I'll change my vote to keep but I think the article needs some work. violet/riga 19:41, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep - I'll agree that the article needs some work; w00t is more than an example of l33t. Possibly, though, it would make sense to redirect to l33t and put the etymology in wiktionary. 66.222.36.122 00:24, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - It is a well known, well used word among geek and online gaming circles. If it was a word that has only recently entered usage I would deem the deletion acceptable, but it has wide enough scope for its own page. 62.255.32.9 10:22, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - I hate wikipedia. It shall all die, one vote for deletion at a time. 66.109.201.10 03:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer

Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer (12 February 1865 – 18 January 1940) was a Polish Goral poet, novelist, playwright, journalist and writer. He was a member of the Young Poland movement.

Life
Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer was born in Ludźmierz in Podhale near the Tatra Mountains, then in the Austro-Hungarian Empire now in Poland, and died in Warsaw. His older half-brother was the painter Włodzimierz Tetmajer. Przerwa-Tetmajer studied classics and philosophy at the Jagiellonian University in 1884–1889. He then became a journalist at Kurier Polski, and lived both in the Tatras and in Kraków (Cracow). After World War I he moved to Warsaw to serve as president of the Society of Writers and Journalists. In 1934 he was made honorary member of the Polish Academy of Literature.

Przerwa-Tetmajer suffered from a mental illness in the latter years of his life, which prevented him from writing. He was living in a hospice in 1940 when the German occupants evicted all the patients. He was left homeless and died shortly afterwards in a Warsaw hospital.

Work
Przerwa-Tetmajer wrote seven collections of poetry before World War I. He is particularly well known for his works about the Tatra mountains. At least one of his poems, Kriváň, High Kriváň! (Krywaniu, Krywaniu wysoki!) is now often taken for an authentic folk song and was credited as such on a similarly named 1972 folk-rock album by Skaldowie. According to Barry Keane from The Warsaw Voice: "Przerwa Tetmajer was primarily a lyrical poet who articulated the birth pangs of modernism at the turn of the century, but he will be best remembered for his erotic verse and for poems evoking his beloved Tatra mountains. He broke with age-old subtleties and niceties common to amorous poetry and wrote on love in frank and provocative terms. The poet simultaneously attracted huge praise from legions of readers and loud accusations of depravity from other quarters... at the close of the 19th century."

His work was also part of the literature event in the art competition at the 1928 Summer Olympics.

Pop'n Music

Pop'n Music (ポップンミュージック), commonly abbreviated as Pop'n, PM or PNM and stylized as pop'n music, is a music video game series in the Bemani series made by Konami. The games are known for their bright colors, upbeat songs, and cute cartoon character graphics. Originally released in 1998, the series has had 22 home releases in Japan as well as 30 mainline arcade versions.

Gameplay
Unlike most of Konami's Bemani series, the Pop'n Music interface is not designed to represent any actual musical instrument. Instead, it uses nine buttons, each three-and-a-half-inches in diameter, laid out in two rows (since the location test of Wonderland, a multitouch panel is added). Five buttons are the bottom row, the other four being the top. Like in most Bemani games, color-coded notes (in this game called "Pop-kun" (ポップ君) and anthropomorphized with faces) fall from the top of the screen in nine columns that correspond to the buttons. When a note reaches the red line at the bottom of the screen, the player presses the button or tap the panel, which triggers a sound within the song.

When a note is played, an accuracy rating is displayed, either "Great", "Good", or "Bad". The maximum number of points possible in any single-stage song is 100,000, and unlike beatmania or beatmania IIDX, can not be exceeded as no additional score bonuses are given. A "Combo" tally is kept of properly played notes like in other Bemani games, but always excludes the first note played; for example, if a song has 322 notes, the maximum combo will be 321. Until Pop'n Music 6, "Good" notes would interrupt a player's combo.

Each song is represented by a character, and players are represented by characters too. The player can choose a character by pressing both yellow buttons on the mode selection screen, but as of Pop'n Music 19 TUNE STREET, the character selection screen automatically pops up after choosing a mode. The default player characters are anthropomorphic rabbit Mimi and anthropomorphic cat Nyami.

In all modes from Pop'n Music 6 and onward, after a song is selected, a splash screen that is displayed showing the character, banner, and BPM of the song. When the player presses both yellow buttons at this screen, an options menu is displayed, where the player can edit the following gameplay options:
 * Hi-Speed: This option allows player to change the scrolling speed of the notes.
 * Pop-kun: This option changes the appearance of the notes that appear on the screen.
 * Appearance: The options here affect the visibility of the notes on the screen.
 * Random: These options affect how the patterns of notes are processed.

Like other Bemani series games, the Pop'n Music games have a "Groove Gauge" that shows the player's performance. Continually playing the notes in the song properly will cause the Groove Gauge to rise. The goal of the player is to finish the song with the Groove Gauge in the "clear zone", a red portion that represents the top quarter of the bar. When the gauge is at its maximum, "Great" notes become "Fever" - this is purely aesthetic, providing no bonus to score, and usually causes the player's chosen character to perform a different animation. If a player ends a song while in Fever mode, the character's win animation is also often different.

Battle Mode
Two players compete against each other on the same cabinet or controller using only three buttons (Green, Yellow, and White) to play the same note chart, and a fourth "action" button (Blue). As a player scores "Great" ratings on notes, a power meter increases near the bottom of the screen, and once it reaches a certain level, the player can press the action button. Doing so starts a minigame along the bottom of the screen, requiring the players to alternate pressing the action button in time with the song, in addition to playing the note chart. When one of the players misses, an Ojama is inflicted on them.

Expert Mode
Introduced in Pop'n Music 6 is Expert Mode (or Expert Courses), similar to Nonstop Mode in other Bemani series. The player selects from a pre-made course of four songs and plays through the selected course with a "Stamina" life bar that does not recover. In this mode, another accuracy score is added, "Cool". This makes songs played in these modes significantly more difficult to achieve high scores on, as the value of "Great" and "Good" are decreased. In this mode, "Great" does not become Fever, and instead "Cool" flashes in a similar manner to how "Fever" is displayed in other modes. Expert Mode was removed after Pop'n Music 18 Sengoku Retsuden, but returned in Pop'n Music Lapistoria.

Challenge and Cho-Challenge Modes
Introduced in Pop'n Music 5, Challenge Mode (CHALLENGE モード) is a mode where players are not only scored on their individual songs, but are also given a Challenge Score. Each song is assigned a point value on a scale from 1 to 50 (formerly 1 to 43) regarding to the difficulty, and at the end of a game in one of these modes, the total is tallied. Additionally in these modes, options called "Norma" and "Ojama" may be used to add point values to the player's Challenge Score. A "Norma" is a set goal, while an "Ojama" is an active means of periodically distracting or disrupting the player. Up to two options can be activated at once. On specific numbers, a player may be allowed an "EXtra Stage", an additional stage in which the most difficult charts (EXTRA or "EX" charts) for certain songs may be played and unlocked. EXtra stages use a different gauge than usual, a "Stamina" gauge similar to the life bar in a fighting game, or Dance Dance Revolution 's Life Gauge, where complete depletion means the end of the song. It was renamed "Normal Mode" in Pop'n Music 20 Fantasia.

Cho-Challenge Mode (超CHALLENGE モード, "Super Challenge Mode") is similar to Challenge Mode, except that another accuracy score is added, "Cool". This makes songs played in these modes significantly more difficult to achieve high scores on, as the value of "Great" and "Good" are decreased. Starting from Pop'n Music Portable on console releases and Pop'n Music 20 Fantasia on arcade releases, "Cool" is always on, regarding to Challenge Mode and Cho-Challenge Mode are combined into one single mode.

Osusume (オススメ, Lit. "Recommendation")
Introduced in Pop'n Music 9 is Osusume (オススメ, Lit. "Recommendation") Mode, where the player is asked a series of questions, and the game provides an Expert course based on the player's answers. It was removed after Pop'n Music 11, but was reintroduced in Pop'n Music 20: Fantasia as a song category within normal mode, containing a selection of songs the player might like, based on the player's song selection history.

Net Taisen Mode (NET対戦 モード, "Net Battle Mode")
With the introduction of the e-AMUSEMENT system in Japan, Pop'n Music 12 Iroha is the first game to feature "Net Taisen Mode" (NET対戦 モード, "Net Battle Mode"). This mode allows players to compete over the e-AMUSEMENT network in real time with players on other e-AMUSEMENT-ready cabinets. In Pop'n Music 17 The Movie, a CPU-emulated version of this mode has been added, similar to the "Taisen" mode found on consumer releases.

Enjoy Mode
Starting in Pop'n music 12 Iroha, "Normal Mode", the standard mode of play, has been removed, replaced instead by "Enjoy Mode". Enjoy Mode is a simplified mode for beginners with a reduced song list, simple note charts, and a less complex grading system, in which the player begins with 100 points and is docked one for each note they fail to play properly. Enjoy Mode incorporates many of the games licensed tracks, providing most players in Japan a mode in which they know the songs and can more easily become interested in the game. Enjoy Mode was renamed "Easy Mode" in Pop'n Music 20 Fantasia, and removed as a whole in Pop'n Music Sunny Park, to be replaced with a new difficulty for Normal Mode: "Easy".

Design and difficulty
Unlike most other Bemani games, the games in Pop'n Music do not mimic an instrument in gameplay. The buttons are used to play various instruments throughout any given song. The graphics feature brightly colored and primarily solid shapes, rather than the metallic and textured interfaces of other Bemani games. Players may choose a character to play as. The songs are separated by genres like Reggae, Disco Queen, Spy, or Anime Hero, as well as common Bemani genres of eurobeat and forms of electronica. There are also series of songs with similar elements, like the Classic series (which are medleys of classical music) and the Powerfolk series. Each song has a variety of modes. These include Enjoy Mode (beginner and Easy notes), 5-line Mode (for 5 buttons) and Normal mode (on-beat notes and simple chords). Most songs have a hyper mode (with more notes and harder chords), and some songs have an EXtra mode (with lots of notes and complicated chords). Pop'n Music has no other visuals except for the character the player chose, an opponent character, and the scrolling notes. The characters are animated, and act differently based on the player's performance.

Pop'n Music games can be challenging at high difficulty levels. The higher difficulty levels are considered by some players to be the most challenging of any music game. However, Pop'n Music also features easier content for beginners. In this way, Pop'n Music caters to a wide variety of players.

Pop'n Music Mickey Tunes (2000)
Pop'n Music Mickey Tunes contains Disney music and Disney characters as opposed to the usual characters and songs made specifically for the Pop'n Music series. The PlayStation port is known as Pop'n Music Disney Tunes.

Pop'n Music Animelo 2 (2001)
Pop'n Music Animelo 2 is the most expensive Pop'n Music version to date, due to its song list consisting completely of anime, as well as television show, licensed songs. This version is also the only one with the infamous "double" and "triple" modes. These options were originally provided with the intention of allowing multiple people to play along by adding one or two more notes for every note in the chart, sometimes resulting in a chord of all nine buttons. However, it became a popular challenge for a single player to play a song in "double" or "triple" mode.

Home versions
The first four console games for the Pop'n Music series were released on the PlayStation and the Dreamcast, with nine buttons on the controller. Two other main games were released exclusively for the PlayStation, while two spin-offs were released for both the PlayStation and the Game Boy Color. These games are as follows:

 * Pop'n Music
 * Pop'n Music 2
 * Pop'n Music 3 Append Disc
 * Pop'n Music 4 Append Disc

 * Pop'n Music 5
 * Pop'n Music 6
 * Pop'n Music Animation Melody
 * Pop'n Music Disney Tunes

The first two games share 19 songs in common. Pop'n Music 2 also added 27 new songs, for a total of 46, and features Key Disc technology to allow play of Append Disc games. Pop'n Music 3 features a total of 44 songs, split between 22 new songs and 22 returning songs, though eight of these returning songs feature more challenging Hyper charts instead. As an Append Disc, it functions like an expansion pack, requiring a Key Disc to play. Pop'n Music 4 features a total of 41 songs, of which five are returning. This is the final release for Dreamcast. Like its predecessor, it requires a Key Disc.

Pop'n Music 5 was the first game in the main series to be exclusive to PlayStation. It featured 63 songs. Like Pop'n Music 2, it also features Key Disc technology, allowing play of its two predecessors. Pop'n Music 6 featured 104 songs, the largest library available for the original PlayStation and the final game for that system. Like its predecessor and Pop'n Music 2, it also features Key Disc technology.

Future console games for the main series and one compilation, all released from 2002 to 2007, are PlayStation 2 exclusives:

 * Pop'n Music 7
 * Pop'n Music 8
 * Pop'n Music 9
 * Pop'n Music 10
 * Pop'n Music 11

 * Pop'n Music 12 いろは (Iroha)
 * Pop'n Music 13 カーニバル (Carnival)
 * Pop'n Music 14 FEVER!
 * Pop'n Music Best Hits

A revised controller was also released for the PS2 at the same time as Pop'n Music 10, though it is also compatible with the original PlayStation.

Handheld versions
Pop'n Music Anywhere was a mini-game released for the VMU and PocketStation, handheld memory cards for the Dreamcast and PlayStation, respectively. The mini-game can be loaded using Pop'n Music 2 and Pop'n Music 4 for each respective console.

Pop'n Music GB was released on March 30, 2000 for the Game Boy Color. It features 25 songs. Two spin-offs, Pop'n Music Animation Melody and Pop'n Music Disney Tunes, were released in September 2000. All games use five buttons for charts instead of nine.

On February 4, 2010, Pop'n Music Portable was released on PlayStation Portable. It is intended to be the console release for Pop'n Music 15 Adventure, and so the song list and interface are based on that game. A sequel, Pop'n Music Portable 2 was released on November 23, 2011. The game is based on Pop'n Music 16 PARTY, and offers DLC songs available for purchase.

Pop'n Stage
Pop'n Stage is a dancing game based around the Pop'n Music design and songs, with ten "switches" (four diagonals and a center on each side, just like Pump It Up's panel placement). It is a combination of Pop'n Music and Dance Dance Revolution, using Pop'n-style graphics with DDR-style gameplay. The game has a bright, colorful interface and machine design, and is considered easy compared to most other Bemani games. The game is also keysounded, similarly to Pop'n Music, meaning that missing a step will result in corresponding sounds in the song not being played.

Pop'n Stage breaks up gameplay styles in an unconventional way compared to other dance games; the default single player mode uses 6-switches (corresponding to Pump It Up's half double; in other words, 6-switch mode does not use the four outer corners). Meanwhile, 10-switch mode is the default 2-player configuration on "Normal" and "Hard" modes (corresponding to 5-switches per person on each side, similar to Pump It Up's single player mode) and "Maniac" mode being similar to a single-player "double-play" mode.

One upgrade kit was released for this franchise before being cancelled under the name "Pop'n Stage EX". This upgrade fixed a handful of gameplay issues from the first game, added new charts and "Expert mode" stages, and added songs from Pop'n Music 3 (as well as the song "Full Moon" by LITTLE CURE, which has never been used on another Bemani game since). Both versions of the game ran on Konami's "DJ Main" arcade hardware.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Diego UFCG. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Diego UFCG~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Welcome back!
Fuck yeah man! I thought we had lost you. I edited the StarCraft's Talk Page box and made it into a template, see Template:StarCraft article.

That Talk Page is so long, I think we can archive most of it and make it even more clean, hehe.

Btw, I started out the StarCraft universe and its categories, check out Category:StarCraft universe. Need some help badly! Most of the stuff appears in the manual. The StarCraft Legacy Encyclopedia and StarCraftGhost.net Storyline help a lot.

If you need help just let me know at my Talk Page I rarely read article's talk pages. Keep up the good work, and again, welcome back! Hooah!

Talk:Paul is dead

Why are changes to this article suddenly subject to review before they're accepted? I say "suddenly", because changes I made to the article up to less than an hour ago went through as usual; but now, any change appears to sit in a "pending" basket.

Batman meets the Beatles! (Well, kind of...)
Although the "references in popular culture" sections of all your articles tend to be a waste of space, there is a rather splendid pop culture reference which deserves to be included here but isn't. I refer to "Batman" #222, published in June 1970, in which the Dynamic Duo investigate the rumour that one member of the fictional British band the Oliver Twists, who are clearly the Beatles in all but name, is secretly dead. The cover of the comic is a parody of the entire "Paul is dead" hoax, and really ought to be added if somebody feels like doing it. By the way, Batman and Robin eventually discover that the character representing Paul isn't dead, but the other three are.

 * The photo was removed, presumably as a copyright issue, and apparently the only mention was in the caption. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 20:32, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Rumours declined after an interview with McCartney, who had been secluded with his family in Scotland, was published in Life magazine in November 1969. During the 1970s, the phenomenon was the subject of analysis in the fields of sociology, psychology and communications. McCartney parodied the hoax with the title and cover art of his 1993 live album, Paul Is Live. In 2009, Time magazine included "Paul is dead" in its feature on ten of "the world's most enduring conspiracy theories". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.222.165.184 (talk) 15:28, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

The term "conspiracy theory" is an opinion, not a fact
The term "conspiracy theory" is an opinion, a form of editorializing. The page also uses the term "defies logic," when the reality is, while the claim that "Paul is dead," is improbable--it is not impossible or outside the realm of logic. What you call a "conspiracy theory," some might call the thought-crime of what can be imagined (get it?). The book "Tomorrow Never Knows," by Nick Bromell (a professor at UMass), addresses the "Paul is dead," theory and how it fits in with the ethos of what rock music is about and how it influences the thought processes of the listeners. Bromell's take on it is that "Paul is dead" represented a subconscious fear about the impending end of the 1960s and that The Beatles were trying to save them from the end of the 60s--that if they figured out all the clues, they'd be transported or led to a magical island where the 60s would never end.

On the flip side, there is a logically sound argument to make that the real Paul McCartney died in a car accident at the end of 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike named William Campbell Shears, or, "Billy Shears," who turned out to be a competent musician as well. Basically, "Paul McCartney," has been a fictitious name statement ever since and this would explain why John Lennon lost the rights to Lennon/McCartney songs that were eventually bought by Michael Jackson. A fake McCartney could not claim 20% of what does not belong to him--Lennon owned 20%, McCartney owned 20%, Brian Epstein owned 10%, and Northern Songs owned 50%. It's a material fact that Michael Jackson bought the rights to Lennon/McCartney songs on a suggestion from "McCartney." The end of 1966 is when The Beatles stopped touring and they left for India; their last public concert was on a rooftop, likely out of guilt that close-ups would show the differences between the real McCartney and Billy Shears. Additionally, their manager, Epstein, died in the early part of 1967. The Beatles could have released recordings of songs recorded before the real McCartney supposedly died, such as, "Penny Lane." Their subsequent new material turned more towards production values and overdubbing (shifting in influence from Brian Wilson and more towards Frank Zappa), likely to cover up any noticeable differences between the vocals of the real McCartney and Billy Shears. At the same time, Billy Shears would not have been able to get legal credit for writing any songs because he was impersonating McCartney...meaning, in theory, Billy Shears could have written, "Hey, Jude," under the name of Paul McCartney and the money would not have gone to Shears, at least not directly. This would explain why "McCartney," was the one who pushed The Beatles towards working with Allen Klein--who, basically, would give cash advances to the band in exchange for negotiating the deals with record labels and collecting a majority of the royalties from the copyrights. So it seems fitting that Shears under the name McCartney would also write a song like, "You Never Give Me Your Money," "you only give me your funny papers." All the while, the fans were blaming the internal discord of the band on John Lennon's relationship with Yoko Ono, when the reality might have been, Lennon could not work with a fake McCartney. McCartney also started to buy the rights to songs of other musicians, such as Buddy Holly. McCartney's father-in-law, Lee Eastman, was a show business attorney, adept in issues of copyright law. The marriage between "Paul" and Linda McCartney was clearly an alliance.

Lennon's song, "How Do You Sleep," on the Imagine album is an obvious slam at McCartney, "those freaks was right when they said you was dead." Publicly, Lennon backtracked by saying that it was, "all in good fun." Yet, you could say that I can "imagine" Lennon sang the truth in his lyrics but simply backed off it, publicly. Back in the 1970s, Lennon would also send angry letters to Linda McCartney about Paul--possibly because Lennon would not recognize Billy Shears as being the real McCartney when sending a letter to Billy Shears but addressed to Paul McCartney would have, in effect, been recognizing the legal existence of Billy Shears as Paul McCartney. The actual "conspiracy theories," are around the murder of Lennon. It's not really a "conspiracy theory," to argue that the real McCartney died at the end of 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike named Bill Shears who was also a competent musician--it is, however, improbable or unlikely but I've heard of stranger things. The problem is, McCartney is a larger than life cultural icon--who fans agree was 'bigger than Jesus'--and exposing him as a fake would be iconoclasm to the politics pushed by The Beatles that have been intertwined with "flower children," "hippies," or other people who identify with the counterculture of the 1960s. At the same time, Lennon had briefly converted to Christianity in the 1970s (Gospel According to The Beatles) and was supposedly dabbling in the politics of Ronald Reagan...when the song, "Come Together," was loosely inspired by Reagan's arch-rival, Timothy Leary. Lennon also said "Imagine," was "just a bloody song." Oddly, Ono's song, "I'm Moving On," on the Double Fantasy album does say, "You're getting phony," and Lennon and Ono were estranged at one time in the 1970s where Ono agreed to letting Lennon have an affair with another woman. So at the end of the day, it seems eerie that Lennon would get shot down by a bat-s*** crazy fan who was obsessed with a book about a fictional character who hates phonies. 2601:647:C000:2CD0:4C3F:5AFC:A2ED:9649 (talk) 17:53, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

If you'd like to comment, please give comments that provide insight rather than attempt to disregard an argument without any rebuttal.

It does not defy logic and is based on material facts; clearly you do not know the meaning of a logically sound argument. 2601:647:C000:2CD0:4C3F:5AFC:A2ED:9649 (talk) 19:27, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

 * You need to read WP:RS and WP:OR. --Hob Gadling (talk) 20:35, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

 * No, I do not. I provided reliable sources that provide material facts (ex, copies of the letters sent by John Lennon) - what you just suggested means that you think Yoko Ono and Julian Lennon are not reliable sources about the life of John Lennon. You sound like a bat s*** crazy fan.
 * This is a "talk" page in which I questioned and have debunked the use of the term "conspiracy theory," in regards to the claim that "Paul is dead." The point of raising this question was NOT to prove that Paul is dead, but merely to prove that, the claim that "Paul is dead," is not a "conspiracy theory," and that the term "conspiracy theory" is a statement of opinion, not a statement of fact. Time Magazine created a list of what they call "conspiracy theories," but that is only their opinion, not a "reliable source."  Just because Time Magazine is a brand-name magazine, does not make it a "reliable" or unquestionable source...it makes it a "popular" or influential source that is not necessarily reliable. Time Magazine is not a primary source, it is a secondary source. The sources I provided are primary sources.

Also, what I said is that the "Paul is dead," story was more of a tall-tale among the counter-culture of the 1960s, which is not a "conspiracy theory." It was basically a popular story, urban legend, small-talk, or a type of a game being played by hippies and flower children who had a subconscious fear about the impending end of the 1960s. Additionally, I showed that you can make a logically sound argument--based on the legal issues around the copyright ownership of Lennon/McCartney songs--that the real McCartney died at the end of 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike named Billy Shears who has functioned under a fictitious name of Paul McCartney. This, however, is not about proving whether McCartney is in fact dead, but that you can make a logically sound argument that he is. Please look up the difference between a sound argument and a cogent argument before telling me to use "reliable" sources that are in fact, secondary sources. The claim "Paul is dead," therefore, does not defy logic as the main Article claims.2601:647:C000:2CD0:4C3F:5AFC:A2ED:9649 (talk) 22:28, 24 September 2022 (UTC) 2601:647:C000:2CD0:4C3F:5AFC:A2ED:9649 (talk) 22:26, 24 September 2022 (UTC)2601:647:C000:2CD0:4C3F:5AFC:A2ED:9649 (talk) 2601:647:C000:2CD0:4C3F:5AFC:A2ED:9649 (talk) 21:33, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Stagg photo is misdated
The photo was actually taken in August 1966 during the band's U.S. tour. I don't have a source for this, but that is the date that appears on the captions in every other article it is used. 2601:192:8802:6FA0:1028:59A5:ED1:E3FD (talk) 17:21, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Find a reliable source and this may be worth discussing. Sundayclose (talk) 17:40, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * One of the articles uses Steve Turner's book as a source for the claim "Stagg was part of the press corps attached to the tour, reporting for WCFL Chicago." There are also many sources in Sgt. Pepper that discuss the fact that the Beatles weren't around each other between September and November 1966. 2601:192:8802:6FA0:1028:59A5:ED1:E3FD (talk) 17:51, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Find a reliable source that says this was taken in October. The description of the photo makes no claim to when it taken, only that it was published in October.  So it is entirely possible that it was taken in August.  The original upload also shows the reverse side of the page, showing the chart for the 6th October.  That makes it unlikely that the photo was also taken in October, that very same week.  Also take into account that the Beatles toured Chicago (where the photo was taken) in August, and there is no record of them returning in October.  And why would they do a promotional interview somewhere they'd toured two months previously?  So I'd say that the claim that it was taken in August is far, far stronger than October. -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 18:06, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Same goes for the 1967 photo. If a photograph is published in magazine in July it is extremely unlikely the photo was taken that same month, and the magazine does not state what month it was taken.  This is particularly true when a magazine dated July is likely on the news-stands in June.  Usually it wouldn't matter, no one cares a month here or there and the publish date is as good as any, but in this article the photo date is important and it should avoid claiming an accuracy that is near impossible and not in the source.  (A newspaper photo would be a different deal.) -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 14:28, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Validity of the Wired Italia Article
In the Analysis and legacy section, a Wired Italia article, wherein forensics compared pre-1966 and post-1966 photos of Paul, was cited, and the conclusion said that the photos didn't match. Due to this, the article became used by theorists such as this blog (click at your own risk) as evidence.

However, I found a YouTube video questioning the validity of the article. The problems stated in the video are:
 * Some of the post-1966 photos were stretched in order to seem that it didn't match.
 * In the comparison of the ears and the mouth, the photos are from different angles. For the latter, different facial expressions are present.
 * The photos are of poor quality, despite high quality images of Paul from before and after his supposed death circulate.
 * (According to the uploader, this is a stretch) The comparison resembles one made from a believer of the theory who also happens to be Italian.

Is it fine to use the YouTube video in the article?
