Updated Church MOS vs. Wikipedia LDS MOS
Hello, and thank you for your recent edits to Wikipedia's pages about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While I am sure those edits were made in good faith, as outlined here, there is a big difference between the updated MOS from the Church and Wikipedia's manual of style relating to articles about the Church. That said, both of those manuals of style are in agreement on one point: The full name of the Church should be used in the first reference thereunton in each article about Church-related topics. After that, abbreviations remain acceptable. Therefore, it is inappropriate to try and incorporate the full name of the Church on every mention thereunto in every article about Church-related subjects. By the same token, it is incorrect to try and assume or assert that the Church's manual of style should be used on Wikipedia, where an entirely different, separate, and distinct set of rules and styles applies. Post any questions on this on the talk page to which I linked above. Thank you. --Jgstokes (talk) 06:02, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
