Talk:Mission (LDS Church)

:The above comment was added to the article - I think the links should go to the mission pages if available and also to the cities - as on the List of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints --Trödel 11:30, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: LDS mission efforts have a long and vibrant history, beginning with the first missionaries sent out when the church was organized, the Lamanite missions, and the first call to the apostles to Europe.  The topic would make a large article in itself.  So should we start a new one (what should we name it?) or introduce the topic here?  Ideas welcome.  WBardwin 05:21, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You could put the list in "List of missions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and leave the history/explanation here. Similar to what we did with Temples (Mormonism) and List of temples ... --Trödel 14:44, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We would, of course, have to make a distinction between the missions of Church of Christ/Latter Day Saints and the post schism Latter-day Saints.  Two history articles?  The pre-schism section would have more available sources.  Lots of work has been done on the Lamanite missions and the missions to England.  Good information for the Utah Saints in the 19th century should be avaible but, offhand, I know of no 20th century examination of the growth and development of the missionary effort.  Maybe we could find statistical information from Church headquarters?  Charts/graphs showing number of missions, by worldwide location, over time might be very useful. Brainstorming on this would be helpful.  WBardwin 03:03, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I am in the process of developing a history of missions here.  There is probably a lot more.  If someone could hunt down specifics on when missions began to regularly have counselors in the mission presidency that might help.  Old Church News could be useful, but you would have to go back before 1989, which is the earliest date available on the web.  Eventually this section might justify subdivision.  Also I was thinking we could try short write ups on the history of specific missions.Johnpacklambert 22:22, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: History of Missions

message: Someone put the tag "Cleanup-list|December 2006" on the list portion. I disagree, in that the list is well defined, verifieable, and not indiscriminate in the least. It may be incomplete, but that can be remedied over time. Unless someone disagres, I plan on removing the tag soon. Perhaps someone can find a suitable (official) source or reference link to the list of missions. Just my thoughts on the matter.Isaac Crumm 00:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm going on a mission in a couple of months. According to some above statements, there is map of the world with all of the mission boundaries in it at the Provo MTC. Should I take a picture of the map and post it on the article (my family will have to actually post it for me)? TerraNirvana (talk) 23:47, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

message: In the Europe subsection of the History section, it is stated that Louis Bertrand "ran a Mormon newspaper out of Paris."  There are two opposing ways to understand this statement.  Perhaps a rewording is appropriate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.126.65.232 (talk) 02:42, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed. "A few years later one of Taylor's converts, Louis Bertrand, returned to the mission and organized a Mormon newspaper out of Paris." TerraNirvana (talk) 13:24, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewording, maybe? 

message: I support the recently added suggestion to split out a stand alone article called List of missions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This article currently has an unmanageable length, and separating out this Gazetteer type info would improve things. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 23:41, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Was there any discussion about moving this page to its current name? The recent announcement by the LDS Church regarding the name isn't reason enough to move the article, especially considering it's a disambiguation parenthetical we're talking about. Never mind that the current LDS naming preferences have no bearing on WP:COMMONNAME or naming policy in general (more an issue of branding). For the sake of disambiguation and having to type the entire name of the church every time an editor wants to link this article, it would seem like leaving where it was ("Mission (LDS Church)") makes the most sense. --JonRidinger (talk) 23:04, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
