Welcome, a caution on battleground

edit

Welcome to Wikipedia! I should warn you to avoid Making Wikipedia into a Battleground. You have valid concerns about Oaks's independence from what he's writing about, about how we describe Smith's teen brides, etc. But edit summaries of "this guy hears voices" aren't constructive. Remember to be treat faithful mormons on the project with respect and work with them, not try to fight a battle agains them. Feoffer (talk) 04:45, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the advice, I will take it to heart. But the official position of true Mormons is that Dallin hears god in his head sometimes. White guys have all the luck! Thomas C Sharp (talk) 04:01, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
