Factual errors

How is Rudger Clawson "first convicted Mormon polygamist to serve a term of imprisonment" when George Reynolds had been imprisoned since his second conviction was confirmed in June 1876, and was released from prison in January 1881, having having served his full sentence, less 5 months for good behavior. Clawson wasn't even imprisoned until August of 1882, more than 1&1/2 years after Reynolds' release. -- 159.182.1.4 00:10, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Um, yeah—I made that edit, but I think I added the statement to the wrong person, because my sources say that the statement should apply to Reynolds, not Clawson. The reason I made the mistake is probably because I had been reading the relevant bio articles, and I think (as I check just now, yup) Rudger Clawson says he was the first. But I think you're right and the sources I have say it was Reynolds. That was my mistake—and I'll mention it at the Clawson page as well to try to resolve.

Major restructuring proposal

A major restructuring proposal for all polygamy articles related to Mormonism has been made at Talk:Joseph Smith, Jr. and polygamy#Series and Restructuring proposal. Please visit and give your two cents. --Descartes1979 (talk) 04:39, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Hyrum Smith

With all due respect, we're not supposed to merely jot down what we think to be the truth without first obtaining references. This is why I removed Hyrum Smith. It is shoddy writing to stick something down first, as if it is fact, and then abandon the fact with nothing to back it up. Should it be the duty of other users to run to find references backing up an unsubstantiated claim FIRST, or to remove the unsubstantiated claim until a reference is produced? Best, A Sniper (talk) 06:43, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted and added the reference.--Descartes1979 (talk) 04:27, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And for the record, I didn't add him to the table originally, but Hyrum Smith is well known by historians as one of the original polygamists. It is not shoddy writing to add something to an article if it is true, even if you don't have the reference readily available at the moment. --Descartes1979 (talk) 04:31, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

;) I'm glad my one edit at the start of the evening prompted you to go full throttle into it! However, I do hope that more references pop up other than George Smith's one article, at least re: HS and pre-1844 folks. In any case, good work. Best, A Sniper (talk) 06:12, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Overlap of tables

I am largely finished filling out the table of pre-succession crisis practitioners of polygamy, and realized there is substantial overlap with the other tables in the article. Why do we have different sections? Why not combine them all into one big table? --Descartes1979 (talk) 04:28, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, maybe it is ok to have overlap, so we can present the list in groups based on a certain criteria. I guess what I am saying is that I am ok with it either way.--Descartes1979 (talk) 04:35, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

James Strang

James Strang practiced polygamy as well. His name should be added, though I am not quite clear where in the current layout. 66.191.19.217 (talk) 04:47, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
