'Early life' section:
'1827 to 1831' section:
- Add picture(s) (purely cosmetic suggestion).
'1831 to 1844' section: Massive work! Generally get the article to synch up better with the extremely well-written History of the Latter Day Saint movement sections on this period.
- Remove or at least deflate the two paragraphs (and then one under the notes) regarding the noncentral tarring and feathering; can't we include something more encyclopedic and central to his life? Dissenting Opinion: This is a beautiful illustration of his character and determination; much like anecdotal stories about Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great, the tarring and feathering is illustrative of Smith's character under duress.

- Explain: What does temple-building have to do with Smith's life?
