message: Okay, to start out, we should probably get rid of the extensive quotes in the article and cite a few more POV statements too. To start this off, I'm going to get rid of one-half the GA statements and consolidate the Joseph F Smith statement into a more concise statement. Pahoran513 22:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that they dominate the article right now, but my intention was to implement them as sources into the article as we expand it. Really, I don't think there should be a section of "statements" at all by the time it's finished. So, what do you think about putting them back in and then removing them as the details are added to the body? uriah923(talk) 06:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I looked them over before I deleted them and they simply seemed to repeat themselves over and over again. Most of them had only passing references to FHE (mostly just using it as an example of how to strengthen family). I object to putting them blankly back in, but working them in quotes is fine by me. I agree with doing that for the whole article. Pahoran513 02:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to me that one of the shortcomings of this article is that someone who doesn't know what a family home evening is wouldn't be able to understand it at all by reading this article as it stands.  It really needs to be more fleshed out.  I would propose using the quotes and letters as a basis, and then add on them to give an understanding of FHE.  For example, the 1915 letter is important in that it established the practice of family home evening as well as what and why the Church encouraged their members to hold it.  I don't think it would be POV to explain this, since this is a program of the LDS church.  Sentences such as "The LDS church teaches that. . ." or "President Smith encouraged. . ." might be appropriate. Sylverdin 23:15, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Starting Out

message: Just brainstorming here. Possible topics and content for the completed version might include: common activities or topics, praise and critisims, research supporting FHE, related topics, common structure to FHE (opening prayer, thought, activity, and the like), FHE for those without family, historic changes to FHE (if any exist), available FHE resource, . . .
