Disambiguation link notification for September 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited History of slavery in New Mexico, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Santa Fe. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Quakers in the Abolition Movement into Christian views on slavery. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:46, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Women and the Priesthood in Mormonism

Hi FreePeoples, I noticed you mentioned wanting a place to discuss women and the priesthood in Mormonism. I think Mormonism_and_women#Laying_on_of_hands_and_Priesthood or Mormon feminism would be good places for it (I've been working on the Mormonism and Women page for a while, but it's still a work in progress). Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:45, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I guess that depends on what happens with the Black people and the priesthood discussion. I was just planning on a brief mention. Nothing in depth. FreePeoples (talk) 16:53, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting your input on the LDS General Authorities page

Hello. Thank you for your recent valuable contributions to the page detailing apostolic chronology in the LDS Church. I don't know how long you may have been an editor here, or what may have led you to the source that necessitated the changes you made, but I wanted to ask you if you might be willing to read two topics I just posted on the Wikipedia page devoted to LDS general authorities and to give your thoughts on them. Thanks in advance, and thanks again for your great work! --Jgstokes (talk) 04:36, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please follow Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Latter Day Saints

And only use The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when the sources are specific about that denomination, never use it as a general label for the entire church. Thanks. Looks like there's some clearing up to do. Doug Weller talk 14:40, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
