LDS Church edits[edit]

Thank you for your interest in contributing to WP, with good faith edits on articles that involve the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It may be helpful to refer to the style manual to see how to appropriately treat articles, particularly the church's name, on WP. ChristensenMJ (talk) 21:20, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since no notice is being taken of edit summaries or this talk page, I decided it would be easier to wait until the good faith edits conclude, then just restore the whole version later. ChristensenMJ (talk) 21:37, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Any Wikipedia style manual still including the terms LDS Church or Mormon need to be updated to remove these references. Masseydude (talk) 22:05, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note. Very aware of the church's style guide. As WP follows consensus, that has been discussed a number of times and to this point, the style guide is as shown at this link. ChristensenMJ (talk) 13:50, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems this topic has only been discussed by a very few people. Shall we keep ambiguity and confusion for years to come and keep reverting changes trying to add clarity? Masseydude (talk) 04:51, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, this has been discussed at great lengths, by many editors, on multiple articles related to the church. Not that I have looked, but if you have and aren't seeing many, my guess is many of those discussions have probably been archived at the relevant articles.
