Talk:John Lyon (poet)

Untitled
"was the first complete book of poetry by any Mormon writer." This statement is not true. Parley P. Pratt published a volume of poetry, "The Millennium" in 1835. I'm modifying the statement as a result. Kent Larsen (talk) 02:14, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

sources still unclear
I removed the "citation needed" from one statement and cited that statement, but the sourcing of the rest of the information is unclear. More specific in-line citations would be excellent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rwelean (talk • contribs) 17:37, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Literary career
This article has been substantially rewritten. The main interest to non-Mormons, especially in Scotland is his poetry and I notice the info about his poetry and writing has been whittled down while there is plenty about the positions he held in the LDS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.249.184.140 (talk) 11:01, 11 December 2020 (UTC) p.s. Some brief explanation of LDS jargon should be given in the text. It is not widely known outside that church e.g. Gathering to Zion, Seventies etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.249.184.140 (talk) 11:22, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
