[edit] This seems terribly biased and unencyclopedic:

"While she seems to have a good life and many things going for her, she chooses to and remains to this day hopelessly obsessed with John Lennon."

At worst it's biased, and at best it's too conversational for this venue. Is there a citation that could demonstrate the same idea appropriately, or should the line simply be pulled? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.52.69.217 (talk • contribs) .

You're right. I just removed that sentence; please feel free to copyedit the rest of the article to make it more accurate and neutral. --Bk0 (Talk) 01:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

The article states, "though others have noticed that she re-tells different versions of her story in order to stay in the news and over-inflate her importance in Lennon's life." Can this statement be supported in any way? --Eastend

[edit] Major Vandalism

There has been an extreme attempt to bias this article in Pang's favor, possibly by Pang herself (the user is MsMP), which included the deletion of an entire section that appropriately discussed criticism of her book without any discussion whatsoever. Everyone please watch this article. 74.39.18.117 20:09, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

There has been a second vandalism attempt that was again reverted. I'd also like to add that the comment that claims that Yoko Ono has "verified" in "several interviews over the years" that John Lennon and May Pang were "emotionally involved" (from which the last user attempted to removed the "citation needed" tag) is likely untrue, as Ono tends to delegate such questions to her publicist, Eliiot Mintz. I've read many interviews with Ms. Ono and I don't recall her ever mentioning Pang by name. That's not to say she never has, but it's unlikely. Layla12275 19:18, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Dont let this happen. The original august 3rd was the best and most honest. It displayed the critisms accuratley. DO NOT LET THAT STUPID CUNT MAY PANG FOOL THE PUBLIC!!!!!

Also it appears May removed the line about her being on the payroll the whole time through 1975, a fact she confirms in her own book, as well as her removing the line about Lennon having affairs with other women which May also confirms in her own book as well as testimony of the women he had the affairs with. here are the lines she deleted - "Pang lived with Lennon from late 1973 until the first weeks of 1975, and was employed and on the payroll working during the day on the business end of his recording projects" and "While in LA, Lennon decided to collaborate with Phil Spector to record an album of oldies. During this time, Lennon had numerous affairs with other women while drinking to excess and partying hard."

DONT LET HER HIDE THE TRUTH!!!!

User "Cowteeters", likely to be Pang, has been reported. More ridiculousness are the constant attempts to change "concubine" to "companion". Pang herself states in her own book that Yoko Ono didn't request a bridge partner for John Lennon, she requested a sexual partner. Layla12275 22:38, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

8/26/06 the page has been vandelized AGAIN. concubine changed to companion, etc. Page now reverted to Layla. WATCH THIS PAGE. It may NEED to be locked for good.

Notice the newest link promoting Robert Rosens "claim" has been posted by Jean TEETERS.

11/17/06 Removed internal link for Robert Rosen. It was linked to Robert Rosen the biologist, not Robert Rosen the author.
