_ _ Nice work by
CatherineMunro cleaning up after me. (I'm much less committed to material inside comments being pretty, but embarrassed by the under-proofreading i committed under the stress of terminal problems.)
_ _ I find excellent the ignoring of middle names and treating nicknames and the formal version equally. My only quibble is in preferring, over "DoB order", "DoD order, or, if alive, DoB order": most people (i.e., in the absence of a severe dotage) retain or enhance their notability until death, but see a drop-off of mentions at that point, followed by a gradual decline. So the most notable people are the oldest living ones, then other living ones, then the most recently dead. I think we'd drive people crazy by putting them in that order, but the reverse of it: most-likely-to-be notable last, lets heavy users get used to jumping to the end of the list & working back up.
_ _ I'm more interested in seeing how people think that works, than in seeing it "win"; that experiment is my intention in reworking CM's fine work in John Taylor.
_ _ Finally, i dropped vital stats that are redundant bcz they appear in the Dab'g suffix of the corresponding article title.

Aren't there a few too many John Taylor's too list them all? I think perhaps this list needs to have some of the people without articles removed.

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)
Whilst working on links on the current Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway - Most Rev Idris Jones, I have come to a potential link to his predecessor - John Taylor (yes another one). Not sure whether there should a live link or not. At present it stops at this page, however potential this can be pulled back to the page for Idris Jones.

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.

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. Marchije ( talk) 02:00, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
