Hello, I'm Winner 42. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to The God Makers seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Winner 42 Talk to me! 06:52, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Citations in Lead
editThe policy on this is at WP:LEADCITE. It says, "The necessity for citations in a lead should be determined on a case-by-case basis by editorial consensus. Complex, current, or controversial subjects may require many citations; others, few or none. The presence of citations in the introduction is neither required in every article nor prohibited in any article." For the past few years there has been a consensus at the article to have citations in the body, but not the lead section, since the lead just summarizes the body and the citations would be redundant. There's nothing particularly controversial in the lead that needs citing. You might consider raising the question at Talk:Mormons if you wish to change the consensus. ~Adjwilley (talk) 20:27, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
