Talk:Murder of John Lennon

message: What was the motive for the murder? there is no a single word on that. There must have been a reason, what was it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.58.40.92 (talk) 18:28, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Motive? 

message: On June 22, 2019, an edit, with sources, was made regarding the attempts to resuscitate John Lennon.  In recent years, witnesses who were on scene agree that despite what he has said over the years, even on national television, Dr. Steven Lynn was not involved in the attempt to save John Lennon's life. They all agree that Dr. David Halleran was the surgeon (3rd year general surgery intern) that was in the room.  Furthermore, they have commented on how the stories from Dr. Lynn have become more and more embellished over time, as he has continued to make claims, such as having "held his heart in his hand," or "stopped Yoko from banging her head on concrete," among others. Information to the contrary was in the sources provided.  
While I will not attempt to edit this again, I do think it hurts Wikipedia's credibility to have any information that staff members on the scene, as well as Yoko Ono herself, have challenged.  In this user's opinion, any claims of direct contact with John Lennon made by Dr. Lynn needs to be carefully reviewed, and considered for purging. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.197.86.47 (talk • contribs) 
:Given that the edit you inserted removed sourced material and replaced it with YouTube links and a reference to The Mirror (not a very authoritative source), it was reverted for the time being. Please list the sources here for consideration. Acroterion (talk) 03:32, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Understood, and thank you for responding.  The sourced material removed was that of Dr. Lynn's claims. Perhaps, rather than replacing them, I should have started here and simply requested the information be reexamined for accuracy, as new developments have emerged in recent years. Simply googling Drs. Halleran and Lynn gives one several sources other than the ones I chose to list. I noticed someone else brought this issue up as well. There was no intention to be disrespectful to those who have edited before, as they simply provided the information and sources that were available at the time. I very much enjoy Wikipedia. Peace.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.197.86.47 (talk) 06:48, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: For edits of that kind, it's always best to start here. You'll need to provide specific sourcing that supersedes the existing sourcing, rather than just advising editors to look at Google. Acroterion (talk) 12:37, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Deception in media"? 

message: Lennon's own family confirmed he armed the Provisional IRA at the height of its terrorist bombing campaign. This should be added to the article as it is why he was murdered. 2A00:23C5:C410:5601:2963:5133:A569:BE84 (talk) 17:45, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: What nonsense. Lennon being of an Irish background was opposed to the terrorist state of Britain’s bloody occupation of Ireland, just like most Irish people today are opposed to and critical of the terrorist state of Israel’s bloody doings in Palestine. 78.152.248.247 (talk) 10:02, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
