Early Mormonism and the Magic World View

The section on Early Mormonism and the Magic World View states that the book's "central thesis is implausible without Mark Hofmann's 'Salamander Letter.'" First of all, who wrote this? A citation would be nice and I have added the appropriate tags. Secondly, I don't understand the statement. The book's "central thesis is implausible without Mark Hofmann's 'Salamander Letter'"? How? I have the second (revised and enlarged) edition of the book in front of me right now. Quinn maintains that the first and second editions of his book definitely maintained that Hoffman's Salamander Letter was a forgery (pp. xi-xii). Hoffman appears on only one page (p. 152) of the book's main text (plus twice in the intro and four times in the endnotes). How is that Salamander Letter then the "central thesis" of Quinn's book? Without any proper citations, I suggest a wholesale rewrite of this section. TuckerResearch (talk) 21:19, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Unsourced information about subject's death

As of this posting, there is only ONE mention on the Internet about the possible death of the subject. This information is sourced primarily by a discussion on Twitter and there have been no WP:RELIABLE news releases (to my knowledge) to substantiate this. If (and when) anyone knows of any reliable sources, then please post them here or edit the article and provide those sources as citations. Otherwise, please refrain from posting about the death of the subject until you have reliable sources. This is only common respect for the family of the subject, who have apparently not yet released this information to the news sources. Thank you, Johnnie Bob (talk) 01:23, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

• Death confirmed by the Salt Lake Tribune, see here. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 02:32, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Thank you! Johnnie Bob (talk) 02:45, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Johnnie Bob, the article says he was discovered dead on Wednesday (21 April). Should that be his stated death date, or should it just be "April 2021"? Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 02:49, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
      • Good Olfactory, I would think it should be given as 21 April until/unless other information becomes available. Agreed? Johnnie Bob (talk) 02:54, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
        • That was my sense. I wasn't sure if there was a standard approach for instances like this. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 02:56, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
