Wikipedia:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement

Scope
This is a WikiProject on elements of the Latter Day Saint movement, Mormonism, Latter Day Saint history, doctrine, practices, and other cultural effects inspired by Joseph Smith.

Project guidelines
Some quick points to remember:
 * Titles of articles wholly pertaining to the Latter Day Saint movement should be parenthesized (Latter Day Saints) if they are ambiguous without the parenthetical.
 * Articles should not be limited to a single Latter Day Saint denomination, unless including the entire Latter Day Saint movement is impractical or awkward. For example, instead of "Restoration (Community of Christ)" or "Restoration (LDS Church)", you would call the article Restoration (Latter Day Saints).
 * In article names, references to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints should capitalize the initial The and include a hyphen and a lower-case "d".
 * In general, use the term Mormon or its derivatives only when referring to people or denominations with historical ties to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints based in Utah.
 * Deadlinks are discouraged as they tend to attract POV material on religious subjects.
 * Apply the LDS-stub boilerplate message at the end of stubs.
 * For specific dates, please only "datelink" in accordance with wp:DATELINK.

Source guide
A non-exhaustive list of sources whose reliability and use within LDS-related articles are frequently discussed is kept at WP:LDS/RS and can be viewed below. It summarizes prior consensuses and consolidates links to the relevant past discussions.

Timelines
There are currently three timelines related to Mormonism: Mormonism in the 19th century, Mormonism in the 20th century, and Mormonism in the 21st century. All date-related information relating to Joseph Smith, Jr. and his immediate family can be included in Mormonism in the 19th century.
