William Sawyer, early developer of the electric light bulb? edit
The link to William Sawyer, an English cricketer, surely goes to the wrong William Sawyer. The 1700's was too early for anyone to be seriously working on a light bulb. Didn't Joseph Swan work with a guy named Willam Sawyer? And that was in the 1800's. If I'm right, the link to William Sawyer from this page [1] be changed.69.6.162.160 01:46, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Brian Pearson
Japanese sawyers print accurate? edit
I wonder if this is an accurate portrayal of sawing planks in Japan then (c. 1800)? Note one sawyer is working from the top, and a second is pushing a second saw from the bottom. This seems an unlikely and inefficient arrangement -- western hand-sawyers worked a two-man saw, with the junior sawyer in the sawpit (he got the worst of it.) Comments?

Sawyer edit
Sorry, it's my profession and the definition provided isn't cutting it, pardon the pun. I wouldn't define surgeon as cutter of humans. If really is not as simple as you think, to use a few tons of power that makes a shark bite trivial by comparison. Scubabobrob (talk) 09:39, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Lead section: "Sawyer, a fallen tree stuck on the bottom of a river..." edit
I notice that this line does not link to anything. Isn't a link the whole point of something being listed on a disambiguation page? I propose that it be removed as not providing a useful function on the page. Unless someone objects in a reasonable amount of time (or adds a link to the proper page), I will remove it. 1980fast (talk) 03:44, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
