message: Hmmm! Interesting. A discussion that starts with an invocation of Godwin's  law. Oh goodness. 
Okay, here's the deal. Editing wikipedia is a privilege, not a right, so people are well within their rights to censor. Whoa whoa, read on: You see; there's a page history, and every single word and act is kept there. So in practice it's actually impossible to censor. :-P 
What is sometimes a good idea though is when people make inflammatory remarks etc. to tone them down a bit. Hey! It's a wiki! Feel free to  refactor! The original text is kept in page history, after all.
Just, when you do so, it's always a good idea to mark that some section of text is redacted, so that folks know to actually look in history, if they like. It's the polite thing to do.
So each of you have part of the puzzle, and you're both right in part. How about you cooperate and ? :-)

replies: text: Good catch.  Re: information for rewrite.  The only material I have to hand is D. Michael Quinn's biography of Clark, "J. Reuben Clark:  The Church Years."  It has a great deal of factual material and good references. The bio was written in 1983, while Quinn was still in the church, and so has an LDS bias, but it also contains Quinn's signature "drama" and omniscient speculation.  Would listing the book as a reference cause difficulty for the LDS project as we try to deal with Quinn's other work, i.e. Joseph Smith, Jr.?  Will look for other materials.

text: Apparently I was the one that entered that information. But I don't remember doing it! If you look at the history of edits, there it is, right as I was editing a bunch of Apostle articles to enter them into the system for the first time. I apologize for this and the sooner we remove the copyrighted material, the better. This was part of a talk given by Boyd K. Packer. I sincerely apologize for this. Jgardner 05:27, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Above is moot anyway - it is a copyvio 

message: Should J. Reuben be placed in the Historians of the Latter Day Saint movement category?  He did quite a bit of writing -- but mostly in law, legal precident, U.S. history, some theology and, of course, church administration.  Opinions.  WBardwin 07:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Came upon this page. I have some original unpublished content as well as additional blend of sources on J. Reuben Clark that may help further this piece and fill in some of the stubs--including info on his upbringing and career progression, etc. Will pull together to post in a few days.

thread_title:  Career timeline 

message: I'm struggling a bit with the attribution of the image I just added, a photograph of J. Reuben Clark taken before 1928.  I'd like to know how to appropriately source for a public domain image and share the policy.  Can anyone help with that?Krt3388 (talk) 20:10, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Just because it was taken before 1928 doesn't necessarily mean it is in the public domain. Was this particular image actually used in any printed publications? If so, which & when? Who was the photographer? If you can't clearly demonstrate the photo is in the pubic domain, you could try to get permission from the presumed rights holder(s) — see wp:Donating copyrighted materials & wp:Requesting copyright permission. Once you have that, maybe a wp:OTRS submission would be the best way to make sure that the image doesn't get deleted again. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 18:35, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Image Attribution

message: Today I removed the phrase, "...and the sense was that such a mixing of blood would invalidate the white recipient's priesthood status."    This phrase was unsourced and speculative, without any certain relationship to J. Reuben Clark.  It supposes the attitude of Mormons and Mormon leadership, where there was no absolute agreement on the subject in the church.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krt3388 (talk • contribs) 21:30, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not unsourced—the source is the Needle review of Quinn's book. It can also be cited to Quinn's book itself. The sources are describing Clark's reasoning, not any "official position" of Clark's church. The issue of blood separation in hospitals was never the subject of official LDS Church policy.

thread_title: Attitude Toward Minorities Heading

message: I'm not sure that the recent additions of citations to the website http://jreubenclark.co/ constitute a reliable source. There's no information on that website about who wrote the text or who is running the website or anything. It is a .co domain name from Colombia, registered in Orem, Utah. With a number of published biographies out there about Clark, surely there are better sources than using this largely anonymous source/site. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:02, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, and actually took care of this before I noticed this converstion thread. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 20:54, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

message: I think these dates are incorrect as at each dissolution of the 1st Pres Clark resumed his place in the 12 until called into the next 1st Pres as a counselor. It is unusual that he spent his entire time as a member of the 12 in the 1st Pres but that does not mean he was not a member of that quorum the entire time. --Trödel 17:01, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
