Taurids Data Box
I'm not any expert about this, and I came to look for information rather than provide it; but the dates given in that box don't appear consistent with other websites (eg. http://earthsky.org/?p=50). May be worth a review from someone who knows which is right. "Occurs during 	Southern: Sep 10 – Nov 20 Northern: Oct 20 – Dec 10 Date of peak 	Southern: Oct 10 Northern: Nov 12" 88.96.159.86 (talk) 12:06, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Star Bethlehem
This article seems to be full of a lot of crap. Stonehenge, Swastikas, a Bronze Age Armageddon and the Star Bethlehem!!?? 68.196.122.36 (talk) 01:44, 29 October 2008 (UTC)K

Other climatic events provocated by the Taurids
10900 BC North America - Clovis Impact, responsable for the beginning of magaufa's extinction, most likely took place during October when the vegetation is starting to die; 6200-5900 BC - 8.2 kiloyear event; 3150-2850 BC - Piora Oscillation event —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigshotnews (talk • contribs) 11:20, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you have a reliable reference for this speculation? I also do not like the unreferenced comment in the article about the Bronze Age collapse that uses weasel words such as "One theory (by whom/when?), may have, perhaps evidenced". -- Kheider (talk) 19:40, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Replying to a comment from nine years ago, this might just be a new PB! I'm not too sure about the last two, but the first thing that was talking about was the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis. There's a paragraph about the connection in the YDIH article (that I added a couple of months ago) which gives an overview and has a few references:
 * In 2010, astronomer William Napier presented evidence that fragments of a comet—initially 50 to 100 kilometers in diameter—could have been responsible for such an impact, and that the Taurid complex is formed of the remaining debris. Napier refined this model and published further research in 2019.


 * Hope you haven't been holding your breath for this! Glad to see you're still active here. Aluxosm (talk) 11:24, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Taurids
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Taurids's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "moore_rees2011": From Perseids:  From Orionids:  From Leonids:  From Lyrids:  From Geminids:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 15:21, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
