Talk:Travis Taylor (author)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There appear to be multiple pages set up for the same person and they should all be combined.Shsilver 18:03, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes. Both of these articles are definately about the same scientist/author. I've met him at SF cons, and talked with him. Vorticity 00:44, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a plan to me. Less work for Jae. Oh, wait, I wrote the expansive one that has the information... right...Jaerune 09:48, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Good to see someone besides me working on this article. Jaerune 14:37, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Von Neumann's War is out, I've read it and it was spectacular! I personally think it deserves its own page... but that's just me. Jaerune 00:58, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I made the article a little more consistent in terms of representation - rather than have Doc Travis or Dr. Taylor, I used the term Taylor to have a consistent last name representation, as is convention (even Dr. Isaac Asimov is called Asimov). The Review section needs to be changed - does the person who wrote that section have any references? Thanks. Metlin 14:52, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I have made more changes to the tone, however a lot of sections still need citations - where did he go to school, what are the "very large telescopes" that he is working on, is his name listed on these projects somewhere such as publications or other means etc. I do not mean to be skeptical, but an encyclopediac article needs references and citations.

There is another person by the name of Travis Taylor, an American football player. I moved the Travis Taylor page to the Travis L. Taylor page. Henceforth, please take note of the fact that Travis Taylor is a disambiguation page and place your links appropriately. Thank you. Metlin 16:28, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I did much of the work on this, but it's a rather hard-going road. Taylor hasn't released a lot of work, so it's very hard to find any information on him anywhere. What little I have is gleaned from his website and a few articles about him. I really can't remember where I got everything anymore. I'm half-tempted to ask Taylor himself, but I know that's contrary to the spirit of WikiPedia. I'll look around and see what I can find. This may take awhile. Jaerune 03:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Planetary Defense book section

Is it just me, or does the Planetary Defense book section seem a little opinionated? Cordova829 15:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
