The Industrial Christian Home for Polygamous Wives
[edit]- ... that The Industrial Christian Home for Polygamous Wives was briefly the home of the Utah legislature?

Rich, you have some seemingly conflicting information/sources:
- The first sentence in the History section says "The Industrial Christian Home Association was founded by Angie Newman in March 1886. " and is sourced offline.
- The one-sentence stand-alone paragraph below that is not sourced. It needs a source, and a clarification on "Newman applied for federal funds and was successful. The Industrial Christian Home opened in December 1886."
- The only two online sources for the article otherwise give conflicting dates: "The home opened in June 1889." and "Built in 1885".
- So, how can it have been built in 1885, if the organization behind it wasn't founded until the next year? The 1889 date indicates either the source is not a good one, or, if that source is correct, it throws the other information into question. — Maile (talk) 16:09, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

- The Deseret News is not a great source, but it's how I discovered the topic - it's right, as I recall, on the opening of the new building, but wrong that the home only housed 7 people. The timeline is this: the society was founded, an initial home was set up in an existing house soon it was realised that a larger, purpose built, building was needed, (more) federal funds were obtained and the substantial building was constructed and opened.

The article is big enough, new enough and reasonably compliant with policy. The hook is short enough, interesting and supported by a citation. There's a QPQ and no picture problems because there isn't a picture. This is the only flaw I'm seeing. A picture should be added such as this one, taken by Charles Roscoe Savage, who died in 1909.
