Controversy[edit]

I hope my latest edit has cleared up the controversy. I will be adding more to this article over the coming days. Angrybeerman (talk) 20:33, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

P.S "British Isles" is their term here. Angrybeerman (talk) 21:39, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If it says BI then no problem with use, however its not a source that any editor will find easy to check - can you quote fully here or post something that can be verified (happy to take a pdf to my email address and then confirm back here for you if that helps) --Snowded ^TALK 07:48, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is not online but I found a reference where the Church claims a presence on the "British Isles" since the mid 19th century and I have added it to the page. Angrybeerman (talk) 12:17, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And I am trying to validate the reference. Hence the request above. --Snowded ^TALK 12:19, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK that reference is better (interesting little sect, I thought I knew most of them but not this one). However that site lists their Churches and they have a small number in England and Wales, none in Scotland or Ireland. Not 100% sure of the relevance here of the material. Overall subject is clearly notable --Snowded ^TALK 12:40, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK I've added that. I think the reference to the Community of Christ should stay because they have a mission centre that includes Ireland and Britain, not just Britain. Angrybeerman (talk) 12:56, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, nice to see the article developing. --Snowded ^TALK 13:04, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent. Angrybeerman (talk) 13:14, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ireland[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ireland's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:50, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Information added from the UK Page[edit]

I recently merged The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the United Kingdom into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in England; however, some of the information from the UK page was copied and pasted to this page because it pertained to Ireland.
