Categories[edit]
The categories for this article may or may not be a contradiction. He is listed with British folk singers and American novelist, which may reflect his migration in 1991. Is the best we can do for a British-American folk singer/novelist? --MrFizyx 22:07, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Stage name[edit]
I'm a bit confused here. How is the fact that he was born two years before Dylan's album evidence that the overlap between the name of the album and his name coincidence? It clearly states that "John Wesley Harding" is a stage name. Very few people take on stage names at the age of 2, right? Can I go ahead and remove this specious reasoning?

Works for me. BTW, I remember reading that he got his stage name from someone in Hothouse Flowers while touring with the band before recording his first album, but I can't find a reference! Ttenchantr 08:09, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Music[edit]
The article really needs to say more about his music. -- Beardo 10:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Concur. The still-needed Infobox musical artist should have information about his actual music genre(s) in Great Britain, years active in music, applicable record label(s), &c., in addition to the Birth name:Wesley Stace and Alias:John Wesley Harding (GBR, years active). I don't have the info to hand, therefore will defer to someone with the data. - B.C.Schmerker 09:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
