Talk:Book of Mormon and the King James Bible

message: This page has recently been created from a large section in Linguistics and the Book of Mormon. I made this move after a recommendation from Dlugar on the  talk page. Current issues are:
*need to migrate relevant references from the original article
*need to check the style guide to see what sort of case formatting we are supposed to use on our headings, which are currently quite inconsistent
*need feedback on the current transclusion/embedding setup I made to get the two articles to share the summary section
*POV on "In other cases, the source is not acknowledged, especially in the case of seemingly anachronistic borrowings." ???? It's pretty minor, but still...
If anybody feels that this move has been made without sufficient discussion, please make it known. Suggestions are welcome! --RockRockOn 07:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Wow... this article has some hard-core NPOV problems, as well as verifiability, NOR, and... well lots of stuff... It seems like a very bad example of a POV fork to me, but since it was decided to keep we need to do some major rewriting, restructuring and renaming of sections. gdavies 21:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The problems with this article (which aren't limited to NPOV...) stem from the fact that there are virtually no citations, just one reference from FARMS (which doesn't seem to be heavily relied on).  This has resulted in basically an essay on this subject, rather than an encyclopedia article. I can't think of a good solution or even a reason to keep this article. If the subject is notable, certainly more reputable sources can be found and we can make something other than "a brief synopsis on arguments regarding the authenticity of the Book of Mormon with respect to similarities with the King James Bible."  This is basically a minor element of common Mormon/Anti-Mormon debate that (IMHO) isn't very notable. gdavies 00:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Well...

message: Hi, editors. I'm trying to add a very brief summary of this article to Book of Mormon. In particular I'm looking for references on the versification issue. The original Hebrew was not versified - the divisions were added later - and yet the KJV and the BoM exhibit exactly the same versification. Does anyone know if this issue has been tackled somewhere?

thread_title: Looking for references

message: Skousen is quoted herein, and has a critical text published by Yale UP. That should be referenced somewhere. Plus, he wrote more than 3 pages on "Sun of righteousness" in his ATV. That should be mentioned. Skousen's studied view is not what is in the last part of the intro. His tight control theory explicitly views the KJB being part of the translation. But his view is that Smith didn't translate it or use the KJB in his dictation. I say nothing here about what I believe, but his take is that it was a divine translation, not made by Smith, just received by him. Take it for what you will, but the last part of the intro should be modified since the linguist Skousen is the foremost authority on the text, having studied it for 25 years. -Champatsch (talk) 18:10, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

message: This text appears in the popup when you hover over footnotes 8 & 13, "Tvedtnes, John A (1984), "Isaiah Variants in the Book of Mormon", Featured Papers, Provo, Utah: Maxwell Institute, archived from the original on 2007-04-08, retrieved 2007-04-16" but is missing as an actual reference earlier.
Also, if we look at the code for this reference, it uses Internet Archive/WayBack Machine (https://web.archive.org/web/20070408014044/http://farms.byu.edu/display.php?id=2&table=transcripts) - Why do this when the actual article is readily available from the BYU Religious Studies Center (https://rsc.byu.edu/isaiah-prophets/isaiah-variants-book-mormon) on a site that is current/maintained? 24.52.4.156 (talk) 03:22, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
