If you view my page at https://www.deseret.com/2018/10/7/20655389/president-nelson-talks-about-the-name-of-the-church-here-s-some-twitter-reaction, you can see a living person who says the term Mormons is derogatory. "Frogontrombone" included a link that was written by himself! — Preceding unsigned comment added by JacksonTylerWoods (talk • contribs) 19:49, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

President Nelson's assertions that the term "Mormon" is derogatory are not historically accurate. It doesn't matter that he is a "living person" as you put it. Frogontrombone (talk) 17:31, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dead Link? please advise

I’m fairly new to editing so I wanted to double check before I made a change, especially to a citation. In the section: Origin of the Term, the second sentence cites “WebDevilAZ” and I have not been able to find that source externally, even on the wayback machine. Is that good enough to call it a Dead link? Do I need to do any more documentation to make it more reliable? Remo (talk) 21:22, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
