Low	This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

Article missing citations. Author displays a bias against the subject of the article.

This article discusses only charges brought against Joseph Smith Jr without revealing the outcomes of legal and illegal actions brought against Smith. The deliberate omissions create a false impression contrary to Smith's law-abiding character as a full history and the affirmations of reliable witnesses would indicate.

Outcomes are listed in the table, Smith appears not to be law-abiding, to state otherwise would be dishonest and biased. Maerlon0 (talk) 02:25, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Convictions

The article needs to summarize his convictions and list them with valid citations. There seems to be some confusion as to how many convictions were levied against Joseph Smith, some in abstencia because he fled prosecution. I invite other editors to help me list them here and make certain they have valid citations. Octoberwoodland (talk) 02:28, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
