Editing disagreements at Joseph Smith
Hi. Just a gentle reminder that repeatedly reverting someone, even if you're sure they are in the wrong, won't work — you are just as likely as the other person to get yourself blocked for edit warring. I have explained the situation here to the other person and advised him to take his gripe to the Latter Day Saint movement wikiproject talk page, and I plan to keep an eye on him in case he refuses to respect the consensus process and decides to wage a one-man edit war. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 04:13, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Not sure what is happening for you. I also see the sort buttons on List of general authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am using Chrome as my browser. Good luck figuring that out. -- Trödel 05:26, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Overlinking
WP:OVERLINK doesn't restrict itself to any section of a biography. The nations are not particularly relevant to the topic of the article and so they do not need to be linked. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:59, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

In response to your undo yesterday
Hi Jgstokes, the reason for my contribution in the God in Mormonism article is because currently the article strongly leans toward the view that J.S. was just coming up with this stuff on his own, and refining it as he went along. Since this is an article on Mormonism, it think it's extremely appropriate to at least mention the heart of the matter from the Mormon point of view, which is that this doctrine was a restoration of the original Christian principle through revelation to a prophet--and that revelation doesn't come all at once, but over time.

Also, to say that until 1835 the Mormon view was similar to trinitarianism is very misleading because the driving concept behind the trinity is the divine substance that is shared between the three persons. Mormons have never come close to classifying diety in terms of this divine substance, but see it as an example of "philosophies of man mingled with scripture"--which is exactly why they believe in the need for a restoration.

So let me know the problems you saw (placement, length, quality, etc.) so I can do some revamping. I will definitely include a better explanation next time, until yesterday I was pretty ignorant of the whole talk and history capabilities of Wikipedia so it's been a good learning experience.

I'm back!
You thought I'd give up on this, didn't you! Kidding. Anyway since nobody has protested my addition, was just wondering if I were to fix the references, shorten it a bit, etc., would you give it a chance at life? I really think it would help balance it out by informing the uninformed that Mormons believe this doctrine came by revelation, etc. I can tone down the philosophy references to keep it from sounding biased. Let me know, thanks 8.28.150.75 (talk) 05:34, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
