Talk:John Taylor

message: Some "numbered" person has gone and replaced the large disambig page with an article on a single person, perhaps himself, I dunno. Needs a revert, I can't do it, only have time to raise the alarm. ;Bear 18:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've fixed it (and haven't moved the anon's added text elsewhere as it's a copyvio).  I've also left a note on the anon's talk page, though the single contrib isn't promising for the contributor to actually see my message.  Ah well. -- Jonel | Speak 00:06, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Page was flagged for disambiguation clean-up. I've made the following changes and have re-added the disambiguation clean-up tag since it still needs more clean-up; the page still has red links and could use further categorisation.  
* Removed red link to John Taylor (Oxford).  Unable to find anything of note about him on the web to create a stub page for him.  His name is already included on List of Vice-Chancellors of the University of Oxford.
* Removed red link to John Taylor (blues), singer/guitarist, leader of Johnny Widebars & The Shovelheads, as their notability is questionable and I am unable to find references to them from reliable sources 
* Removed reference to "John Taylor (Founder of Total Siding LLC) (1985-present)" as their notability is questionable
* Created stubs for: John Taylor, Baron Taylor of Holbeach, John Taylor (Canadian politician), John Taylor (Civil Engineer), John Taylor (captain), John Taylor (paper manufacturer) and John Bigelow Taylor
* There were also two red-links for a filmaker: John Taylor documentary film-maker) (1914–1992) and John Taylor (filmmaker) (1921–1982?), British documentary filmmaker. 
** I have a feeling this is the same person, because there is definitely a documentary filmmaker who lived from 1914-1992 and who was also from London
** I have created stub page titled John Taylor (documentary filmmaker) for this person.

message: * Created page for John Taylor (hymn writer)
* Removed reference to Apaloosa horse breeder since I am unable to find information from verifiable sources
* Also reorganised some of the categories:
**Added "Arts" heading and moved some of the names from Businessmen and Tradesmen to that category.  
**Created "Music" subheading to "Arts" and added names from "Musicians" heading
**Created "Notorious figures" heading
* I have also listed names in these new categories alphabetically by page title, versus birthdate and so I also removed embedded comment: "Names in each group are in roughly chronological order by date of death, or if living, by birthdate."  
* Placed categories in alphabetical order by heading
* Created dab John Taylor (given name) and moved entries there
* Created "See Also" heading and moved links to Taylor and John Taylor (given name) to that section
There are still some read links but I don't think the list could be broken down much more so I didn't bother reflagging for clean-up.  I may however take another stab at creating some more stubs for those red links.
