Mormon handcart pioneers[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noted your edit to the above article, but decided to revert or reverse it. Despite common usage in modern times, the original name of the church was the "Church of Christ" - please see History of the Latter Day Saint movement. Hope to see more edits from your user name. Best wishes. WBardwin (talk) 20:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Haiti & LDS[edit]

Please discuss this on the Haiti talk page. We may get this promoted (or info from) a higher level page. I'm Catholic, but if someone tried to start (& I haven't looked!) "Catholics in Tibet" or Antarctica (I'm sure there's lots of other places). There should be a cutoff someplace, otherwise articles would be nothing BUT a summary of the thousand religions there are out there (33,000 Protestants religions, I've heard). Given a sufficiently large country, like Haiti, nearly all these 30 thousand or so would probably be represented. Should there be a cutoff?

I do not see that it profits the Catholic Church, for an editor to say that there is a "thriving" (pov) Catholic congregation in Tibet, if, indeed, there are but a few. What does my statement prove? Not much, I would think. (Actually there is a bit of a sorry article about Christianity, but no figures. Zero is apparently presumed!). Student7 (talk) 23:44, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just changed my mind. We use the CIA factbook (as unlikely as that may sound to a newcomer) as a basis for many countries facts. This works about as well as anything for underdeveloped countries which usually don't otherwise have very good statistics. So if it isn't there AND we don't have some other reliable source, we use it. LDS is not included in https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ha.html. And that would be the reason not to include it in the Haiti article. So the result is unbiased from Wikipedia's pov. That makes me feel better, though it may not have the same affect on you! Sorry about that! Student7 (talk) 15:11, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
