message: This will undoubtedly become an issue on other articles too, but the overarching problem is that the category is too vague.  Anyways, I don't consider this a controversy (along with all of the other excommunicated bios I removed) because there was no apparent fallout: the individual was excommunicated, and that was that.  There was no rioting, outbursts, legal issues, etc, especially in the cases where the one who was excommunicated later rejoins the Church.  
If there were ramifications, they aren't cited.  How is it a "controversy" when someone is excommunicated for acting contrary to their beliefs, no matter their religion?  It's not like people are unaware of the policy. Lyman was an Apostle, but clearly his beliefs changed; it didn't lead to any issues within the Church that were cited in this article.  As with articles in general, I think there needs to be a notability bar for what is a controversy, and many of these articles don't seem to meet it, including this one.

message: The article states he had 7 wives, but the chart shows eight wives.  Does anybody know which it is? Epachamo 22:13, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article says he had "seven plural wives". A plural wife is one in addition to the first. 7 plural wives + 1st wife = 8 wives. –SESmith 02:48, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The chart lists Lyman's marriage to Diontha Walker in 1843. However, in Lyman's autobiography ( http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/ALyman.html ), he does not mention this marriage in the section describing his life until 1844, and he even says that he hadn't learned the principles of celestial marriage until 1844. Do we have a real source on this alleged 1843 marriage, or is it perhaps a typo? 140.180.253.10 (talk) 22:39, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
