MOS:LDS vs. Guidelines Released by Church
Hello. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. You may have noticed that your edits to this article were reverted. That occurred because, although President Nelson has authorized released guidelines relating to references to the Church, they are merely guidelines, and as such, are subject to indvidual implementation by those who choose to use them. For Wikipedia, articles about the Church are guided by a separate manual of style. As a result, discussions are underway as to how, to what extent, and in what manner to most effectively implement the Nelsonian guidelines. Until determinations about such changes to the manual of style are made, all articles about the Church need to conform to the current MOS:LDS as it is, not as we'd like it to be. But even if and whenever any changes are made to the Wikipedia LDS MOS, per the guidelines released by the Church, the full name thereof should only ever be used on the first reference, and not with every single reference thereunto in any single source. With all of that in mind, I'd urge you to participate in the discussions about those changes and to help determine how best to implement them on all articles about the Church, rather than individual ones. Please message me on my talk page with any questions you might have. Thanks. --Jgstokes (talk) 20:10, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
