Suggested deletion[edit]

Suggest deleting reference to Taylor's European education. There is no reference to any such education in Parrish's excellent biography. There are numerous second hand reports and rumors Taylor studied in Europe, but no evidence. User:Mpleahy 13:05, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected vandalism[edit]

Someone vandalized the article, adding bogus information about Taylor leading a soccer team, and altering his date of death. I undid those changes, returning it to the state left by Scott Mingus. Agoodall 19:34, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. In case you're new to Wikipedia, vandalism reversion is not something we typically document in the Talk page. Just provide an Edit summary (which can be as simple as "rvv".) Hal Jespersen 00:14, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Taylor (general) → Richard Taylor (Confederate general) – Richard Taylor (British Army officer) was also a general, as was Richard R. Taylor, so this appears to be insufficient disambiguation. This title should point to Richard Taylor#Military. BD2412 T 03:33, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
