NPOV section tag[edit]
I've placed an {npov section} tag in the "Historical overview" section. This section spends way too much time and focus on Joseph Smith's claims. The NPOV issue can be summed up with this incredibly false sentence:
Historical accuracy and veracity of the Book of Mormon was, at the time of its publication and continuing to the present day, hotly contested.
The historical accuracy and veracity of the Book of Mormon is not "hotly contested." It's "debunked." As in, no mainstream science or academics believes the Book of Mormon is true, or that it's really a translation of golden Egyptian plates that Smith found buried near his house in New York. The mainstream view is that this is fiction, that Smith wrote the book himself, and this article should say that clearly, and it should say it first. Before I go about rewriting it, does anybody disagree with this? Levivich (talk) 17:47, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- No objections here. You may already have a starting point. If not, there's some useful work at Historicity of the Book of Mormon and Archaeology and the Book of Mormon. There's a cautionary tale at Origin of the Book of Mormon. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:00, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

This is the original text. Joseph Smith Jr. (December 23, 1805 – June 27, 1844) was an American religious leader and the founder of Mormonism and the Latter Day Saint movement.
The statement should be revised Joseph Smith founded of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints not Mormonism. It should say something like
Joseph Smith Jr. (December 23, 1805 – June 27, 1844) was an American religious leader and the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which some refer to as Mormonism, or the Latter Day Saint movement. Jason Wasden (talk) 22:38, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
