Correct title?[edit]

The name given in the lead section seems to be contradict the title of the article; is the title of this encyclopaedia "Mormonism: A Historical Encyclopedia", or "The Encyclopedia of Mormon History"? GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 19:26, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oops - the former title, thx.--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 23:26, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Remove "Topics covered and contributors" section[edit]

This seems to be way too much detail to go into. I believe this section should be removed. Editor2020 (talk) 23:08, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden was the origional contributor of that material. You may want to invite them to this discussion. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 15:32, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I suppose it wouldn't be the end of the world if this section was deleted, as suggested. However, IMO, this compilation's table of contents--the only independently published volume of its kind in the current field of Mormon studies/history--itself provides a useful guide to an examination of the topic it covers, so the Wlinks for each topic provide value to the coverage of the compilation / underlying subject, all of which are demonstratably notable (even the topic of "the Ungathered (Latter Day Saints),", for which I unfortunately could not find a existing WP article/section in direct or only slightly tangential relation to it...).--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 20:01, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
