Talk:Provo Utah Temple

message: It would be nice to include a picture before and after the renovations that added the Moroni to the temple (and include discussion of the change).  Daw44 (talk) 16:24, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I had remembered there being escalators in the Provo Temple when I was at the MTC in late 1999. After a session in August 2008, I asked a temple worker, and she confirmed that they had been removed a few years earlier and replaced with stairs. Escalators with layouts similar to those found previously in the Provo Temple can be seen in both the Seattle and Mexico City temples. Bobomejor (talk) 09:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I erased the gallery, all the photos are in commons. They were at the time the only pictures available in commons so no need to place them in the article as well. I placed the only picture not uploaded in commons into the template, besides it doesn't have people in it. Bobjgalindo (talk) 15:49, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Hi, I have made some significant changes to the structure of the article in an attempt to improve its quality. In addition, I have added a paragraph about the function of the temple and rewritten the lead paragraph. 
There are still some significant additions that can be made if anyone has access to the book Provo's Two Temples by Richard Cowan. --Jmjosh90   04:59, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Significant Changes 

message: I changed the line about the Pillar of Fire symbolism and added a reference to show that it is a local myth.  I provided a source https://photogent.com/provo-utah-temple/wiki/ which points out that it is a myth.  There are sources that are for and against the idea.  This was reverted supposedly because the original source supposedly said that it was a symbolic but that source doesn't say that either.  It just says it has "long been viewed" as such.  Jgstokes, is that good enough to show that it is a local myth and not a fact?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:680:CD82:BD0:E84D:6616:C845:F7E1 (talk) 01:30, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Photogent is not a reliable source for Wikipedia purposes as it is self-published. If you find something else from a reliable source that says this, and it meets the criteria for inclusion here, that would be acceptable.

replies: text: What about the fact that the source that is linked doesn't say that the temple was inspired by the scripture but instead it has "long been viewed".  Would you be ok with changing the sentence to "It has long been viewed that the design of the temple ..."?  That matches closer to what the source actually says.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:680:CD82:BD0:E84D:6616:C845:F7E1 (talk) 02:26, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That's kind of clunky as written. Perhaps "The temple's design has long been viewed" would work and flow better. User:Jgstokes (talk)—We can disagree without becoming disagreeable. 03:29, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

text: Interestingly enough, Emil Fetzer's page says almost the same thing but has no citation.  Someone tagged it "citation needed" but no one has added one.  I searched online for any source of either side and there isn't one.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:680:CD82:BD0:E84D:6616:C845:F7E1 (talk) 03:07, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Then I'd recommend what I suggested in the comment above for the adjusted wording. I will boldly change it to that for now, unless there are further objections or concerns. Thanks for being willing to discuss this. User:Jgstokes (talk)—We can disagree without becoming disagreeable. 03:31, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
