Talk:Emma Smith

message: I don't understand why placing Emma Smith under the categories of Joseph Smith's wives in insulting.  She was his wife, and as you said the most important one.  Also, removing a factual tag because it's "insulting" is POV.  -FlyingToaster (talk) 05:33, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Excuse me, but you just reverted three edits, which is vandalism. I am a frequent editor of all LDS Movement articles, so if you have a particular cited challenge to any of my edits, go ahead. RE: the new category of 'wives of JSJR.' created by Descartes1979, this was a very contentious set-up, which did not happen without some controversy. Smith herself denied throughout all records any knowledge or involvement, regardless of whatever secondary sources now claim; factual is one thing, allegations another. In the meantime, I've reverted your rollback of several unconnected edits as unjustified. Best, A Sniper (talk) 05:38, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Wives of Joseph Smith Category

message: I reverted the most recent edit as it implied the RLDS as being a 'new organization' without allowing the facts to speak for themselves.  The RLDS narrative is that they were a reorganization as opposed to a 'new' one. Best, A Sniper (talk) 02:48, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Emma Smith: My Story 

message: An editor has made a good faith edit claiming that the name of the church in 1838 was The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  I have corrected this to point out that the name was Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and to mention in the edit summary that the church in Utah did not add 'The' to the name and being using 'Latter-day' until several years later.

thread_title: Name of the church in 1839

message: Note 17 under the section on Polygamy references a page in an article on the Kinderhook plates.   Surely this reference is incorrect?
"Over the years, many RLDS Church historians attempted to prove that the practice had originated with Brigham Young.[17]"
17 = Journal of Mormon History, Spring 2005, Volume 31, p. 70.

message: I cleaned up the photo, that is several months old David Hyrum Smith born in November, citation added. I gave Emma a nationality in the introduction and made her ID independent from "the wife of ..." Plus, controversial or not, if Joseph Smith had multiple wives, Emma was his first.   ~~~~ Fimbriata (talk) 16:05, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
