Slight rename

To avoid the cogdis of implying he died aged 4, I'd suggest a move to life of Joseph Smith, Jr. from 1827 to 1831, as per the existing bold title, indeed. Any objections? Alai 05:34, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Marriage(s) and Family

Information on Joseph and Emma's married life and children would appear to belong here, as would of could a summary of material on Joseph's plural marriages. Any objections if I slide something in? WBardwin 06:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Plural marriages by 1831? Not sure this is the article for that. If D&C 132 (LDS version) was given in 1832, then it goes into the next section. Curious to see what you have in mind. -Visorstuff 16:42, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if we don't include a sentence saying that plural marriage was not practiced during this time period, someone else will dump it in. The later borne children should be referenced here for the same reason. WBardwin 19:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Add it in. Lets see how it looks. I personally think the children should be in Joseph Smith, Jr., rather than listing out children outside of this timeframe, but agree that someone will end up adding it in. Go for it, and then we can decide if it makes sense if edit controversies arise... -Visorstuff 19:57, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Smith translated plates?

No scholarly sources believe the book of mormon is a result of translation. Why does this article treat the claim uncritically? 166.199.151.51 (talk) 01:29, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

I'm changing a lot of material that takes the existence of the golden plates as true, as well as prose which states that Smith was performing a translation. We have no reason to think this is true. 12.75.41.124 (talk) 03:14, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
