Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Leonora Cannon Taylor, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 22:17, 21 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi @Materialscientist. I'm sorry! This is my first day of work, so I forgot to explain why on that edit. I looked at the source and there was nothing that says that Leonora Taylor was rebaptized. If you think I read the source wrong, please show me where on the source you found that information. I also noticed that all of my edits were removed. Can you please restore them? I spent a lot of time on them and added a new source.
 * Best,

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Mormonism and polygamy. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 23:43, 20 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Binksternet. Thank you for reaching out to me. Could you please share an example of when I added commentary, my own point of view, or my own personal analysis to the Mormonism and polygamy article? I have been careful to not write anything without a source, but if I forgot to cite a sentence, I will fix it immediately. Please let me know. Thank you!

 * The warning template I used puts standard boilerplate text on to your talk page. The problem I had with your editing activity was a non-neutral removal.
 * There are Mormons who practice polygamy. The fact that the church's official position doesn't support polygamy any more is not a good reason for removing the extensive section about it, with well-cited, essential information. You were whitewashing the issue, which is not neutral. Binksternet (talk) 23:54, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, I am sorry about that. I absolutely did not mean to whitewash polygamy. I simply removed the section because I think that the section fits better on the Sealing (Mormonism) page and none of the sources cited in the section mention polygamy (rather, they are about marriages, divorce, and re-marraige when a spouse dies). I do, however, understand how "Reasons for Polygamy" subsection applies to this page and I was in the process of adding the information from that section into a bigger subsection with other teachings of the Mormon church about polygamy. NatalieEmma.BYU (talk) 00:20, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * You removed "Some described polygamy as a form of slavery. Mormon women were seen as oppressed, abused, and trapped in polygamy. Sensational and often violent novels provided fictional stories about polygamy which fueled the public's dislike for the practice and Mormons." These were cited to a scholarly book.
 * You removed "One author notes that the geographic distance between Mormons and non-Mormons allowed anti-Mormons to make "wild and unfounded claims" about plural marriage. Another reason for the strong bias against polygamy was because of the political power that Mormons (especially polygamist Mormons) wielded in Utah and other places." These were cited to another scholarly book. These removals of yours were what I was looking at.
 * Regarding the section "Reasons for polygamy" which I unintentionally restored, I will revert myself and take it back out. The cited sources are primary ones, not suitable for analysis which requires WP:SECONDARY sources. Binksternet (talk) 01:21, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what happened. If I removed them, it was an accident that I was not aware of because I wrote and researched both of those sections and actually added them back in a few minutes ago when I saw they were no longer on the page. I have both of the books that I got that information from next to me right now. I am very sorry for the confusion. I certainly did not mean to remove them considering that I had recently written them. I'm really not sure how I unintentionally removed those sections. Thank you for making me aware of the removal. I appreciate it! NatalieEmma.BYU (talk) 01:28, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Thank you so much! That is a great addition to the page. I am currently working on a page for Joseph Bagley. I am planning on publishing it tomorrow and will be sure to add the information about the permanent collections. Thanks again! NatalieEmma.BYU (talk) 22:43, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I just saw you nominated the article for DYK, I'm sure it will be approved and promoted, as the subject was a fascinating and courageous woman with an alternative life style for her time. Hurray for brave, creative women. It's nice to meet you here, and I look forward to seeing your other article creations. Happy editing! Netherzone (talk) 19:23, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, NatalieEmma.BYU, and thanks for all the excellent work you have been doing on articles about women. It seems to me you would be a useful member of WikiProject Women in Red where we are trying to chip away at the gender gap. If you are interested, you can sign up under "New registrations" on WikiProject Women in Red/New members. In any case, I look forward to more contributions on historical women. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 06:14, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

A hearty thank you
I went to create A House Full of Females: Plural Marriage and Women's Rights in Early Mormonism, 1835–1870 and was pleasantly surprised to find an excellent article had been written since the last time I checked. Thank you for your work in expanding the coverage of LDS on the wiki. Do you have plans to make an article for Flake's The Politics of American Religious Identity: The Seating of Senator Reed Smoot or Reeve's Religion of a Different Color? Both are on my (overly long) page of articles to create but having seen your work at A House Full of Females I think you would do a rather excellent job. I also wouldn't be shy about expanding your editing beyond LDS topics, your work is of above average quality and any topic area would benefit from your efforts.
