Major restructuring proposal
A major restructuring proposal for all polygamy articles related to Mormonism has been made at Talk:Joseph Smith, Jr. and polygamy. Please visit and give your two cents. --Descartes1979 (talk) 04:39, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Citation
The citation for the text of the manifesto is incorrect--should be p. 75--see http://archive.org/stream/conferencereport1904a/conferencereport741chur#page/74/mode/2up 76.23.51.252 (talk) 16:41, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Church's "public" attitude
I disagree with the inclusion of "public" and removal of "accurate description" in these edits by the anon IP. Inclusion of "public" implies that there is a "non-public" attitude of the Church, which is POV and unsupported by any of the citations. There is also a distinction between what the attitudes and teachings of the Church as an institution, and the attitude of its members. I would argue this is similar to the subject of abortion and the Catholic Church - would we say that the Catholic Church has public attitude toward abortion and imply that it has a non-public attitude? I also find the reference in one of the edit summaries to this SLTrib article to be irrelevant. The article is discussing polygamy in the present in a different context than the statement in question in this article, which is about the Church's attitude to the statements in the Second Manifesto. The former is about implications for a theology that teaches eternal marriage, while the latter is about one man being married with two living women concurrently. If you have sources that support the idea that the Church has a non-public attitude, please share them here. --FyzixFighter (talk) 00:34, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * As any source that is presented you will take out of context or claim has an anti-Mormon bias, and I have a life outside of Wikipedia, I leave the article to your loving hands. You "win".98.30.43.66 (talk) 17:45, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
