Remove the following unjustified claim:
Starting with the 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, he gradually became the Beatles' de facto leader, providing the creative impetus for most of their music and film projects.

Peasmarsh
According to https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/the-home-heather-loathed-7283152.html "For three decades, Sir Paul ,s rural home in the village of Peasmarsh, near Rye, East Sussex, had been his retreat from the glare of fame." any idea where to add it (apart from the category)...GrahamHardy (talk) 16:47, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

The instruments category of the quick facts panel should include drums. McCartney recorded the drums on several Beatles tracks like The Ballad of John and Yoko, Back in the U.S.S.R. as well as most drums on solo albums like Ram and McCartney II. Spingolaa (talk) 06:06, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
- Not done Template:Infobox musical artist says "Instruments listed in the infobox should be limited to only those that the artist is primarily known for using." Better described in the article main body. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 07:13, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Include McCartney's net worth - US $1.12 Billion - in the infobox. This would make him the wealthiest living musician in U.S. dollar-terms. 76.71.157.66 (talk) 16:32, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Acoustic guitar
I found what I think is an error in the acoustic guitar section: Paul actually did not play acoustic guitar on the song - John did - and as usual, Ian MacDonald is wrong with his dodgy assertions of who played what and he provided no evidence to verify his claims. 60.241.106.149 (talk) 04:10, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
