Some mention needs to be made about the controversy surrounding a revelation some say he recieved in 1886 providing for the continued practice of polygamy, by the Woolleys, albeit outside the church and jurisdiction of the Quorum of The Twelve, and the meeting some believe took place the day after he received it. Perhaps a dozen Latter day Saint groups trace their origins to their belief in that event.

Amongst the biographies of Taylor are -

Arrests made during the anti-polygamy crusade era

The John Taylor article presently states that hundreds of men and women were arrested for practicing polygamy in Utah. It would be good to have some documentation on this number. Also, I have never seen a reference to any woman's being arrested during that era. Did women also get arrested? If so, we need firm references to that fact. Thanks in advance to anybody who has that data and can furnish it here. Raymondwinn (talk) 16:16, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Allegations of Racism

Am i wrong to believe that John Taylor explicitly stated that Black Africans survived the Great Flood to be representatives of satan's horde, and that this was one of the guiding motives behind barring blacks from the priesthood until 1978? I believe i heard this on the PBS documentary. does anyone have additional information on this? if this is true, shouldn't it be listed on the page under a new title?

Renaming

If anyone objects to renaming this article in conformance with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Latter Day Saints), please respond here. COGDEN 02:21, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Since there's no immediate objections, I'm renaming from John Taylor (Latter Day Saints) to John Taylor (Mormon). COGDEN 22:54, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
