Image2

I was able to get permission from the copyright holder to upload an image that I thought might be better then the one here. Ether the full body image File:Thomas S Monson2.jpg or the cropped face only image File:Thomas S Monson3.jpg. However, again this being a Good Artical and the image is in alot of place, I'm not Bold enough to do it on my own.--ARTEST4ECHO ^talk 18:17, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This image as a stand-alone portrait isn't spectacular, but the uncropped version is a great action shot! I've inserted it in the Temple dedications section. Also, be sure to properly document permission to use the picture via the instructions at Commons. —Eustress ^talk 13:02, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How about this iamge? File:Thomassmonson.jpg. I think it's better then the one used.--ARTEST4ECHO ^talk 17:55, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Please Correct the second sentence of the article. Monson is NOT the president of the naacp. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.37.121.50 (talk) 19:35, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This was corrected on Oct 26. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 01:29, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category question

Should Thomas S. Monson be placed in the category "American military personnel of World War II"? He was in the Navy reserves and in training in San Diego at the end of the war. Is this enough to place him in that category? I would say yes, but I figured it was best to let this issue be decided by arbitration because it is one on what the exact contours of that category are.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:23, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since the category explanation says "This category includes people who served in the United States military during World War II" and the Navy Reserve is part of the United States military, I will go ahead and categorize Thomas S. Monson in this category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:26, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
