Placement of original text

Note: I placed the original text at the bottom, but I don't really like how this hides it. It interrupts the flow of the article when placed just after the lead as before, but if anyone has any other ideas, they would probably be good for it. Maybe it should be just deleted and relegated to wikisource? But most people never look at wikisource, so probably not. Mrfoogles (talk) 05:39, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-[[:Missouri Executive Order 44]] → {{no redirect|Mormon Extermination Order}} – I believe the title "Mormon Extermination Order" better fulfills the criteria outlined in [[Wikipedia:Article titles]].
-# '''Recognizability''' and '''Naturalness''': The use of the term "Mormon Extermination Order" extends beyond academic circles and has permeated popular culture, literature, and media. Moving would make it easier for readers to find and access the article, since it is a more intuitive and recognizable term
-# '''Precision''': "Mormon Extermination Order" accurately describes the content and significance of the historical event. The order called for the expulsion, or extermination, of Mormons in Missouri.
-# '''Concision:''' The title "Missouri Executive Order 44" does not clearly distinguish the article from other executive orders issued in Missouri, none of which are notable enough for an article. "Mormon Extermination Order" specifically identifies the historical setting the event took place in. [[User:Gottagitgud|Gottagitgud]] ([[User talk:Gottagitgud|talk]]) 21:47, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

-*'''Keep article at title "Missouri Executive Order 44"'''.  Setting aside that a previous consensus resulted in the move to Missouri Executive Order 44...,
-*# Missouri Executive Order 44 was the official title of the legislation
-*# A previous revision of this page noted, "relatively few people were killed as a direct result of its issuance". Calling it an extermination order when there wasn't a mass extermination is misleading. <span style="border:1px solid;background:#800080">[[User:Purplebackpack89|<span style="color:#FFCC00">p</span>]][[User talk:Purplebackpack89|<span style="color:#FFCC00;">b</span>]][[User:Purplebackpack89/C|<span style="color:#FFCC00;">p</span>]]</span> 19:08, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
-*:Furthermore, let me state that some of the rationale by Gottagitgud is in error.  He cites "precision"...but there was no mass extermination of Mormons carried out.  Calling it an extermination order suggests a genocide that...well, just didn't happen.  As for "concision", if other executive orders issued in Missouri are not notable enough for an article, then they shouldn't have any bearing on the title of this one <span style="border:1px solid;background:#800080">[[User:Purplebackpack89|<span style="color:#FFCC00">p</span>]][[User talk:Purplebackpack89|<span style="color:#FFCC00;">b</span>]][[User:Purplebackpack89/C|<span style="color:#FFCC00;">p</span>]]</span> 19:14, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
-*::When the militia captured Far West, they issued a warning that violence could escalate if the Mormons did not surrender. However, the Mormons chose to surrender immediately and organized their own voluntary withdrawal from the state. As a result, there was little need for violence to enforce the order. The Mormons complied with the order, rather than confronting the military.
-*::The designation of 'extermination order' stems from the original wording used by Governor Boggs. Yes, the language is strong and alarming. But 'extermination' does not necessarily imply mass killing. The word 'extermination' comes from the Latin term ''[[wiktionary:extermino#Latin|extermino]]'', meaning to expel or exile. The order did result in the forced relocation of around 15,000 people from the state. [[User:Gottagitgud|Gottagitgud]] ([[User talk:Gottagitgud|talk]]) 20:54, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
-*'''Weak support''' per [[WP:POVNAME]]. We have [[Boston Massacre]] and [[Great Leap Forward]] and [[Alexander the Great]] because those are the common names used to refer to those topics, despite those not being very neutral or accurate names. I suspect practically no one refers to this topic colloquially as "Missouri Executive Order 44". And the fact that there was no mass slaughter does not mean there wasn't an order. The noun here is 'order', not 'extermination', and the plain text of the order says the Mormons "'''must be exterminated''' or driven from the state if necessary for the public peace", so calling it an extermination order is not much of a stretch. The RM in 2010 was about the title being vague, not about it being NPOV. At the time, it had the completely vague title of {{-r|Extermination order}}, which doesn't indicate what the topic is. —⁠ ⁠[[User:BarrelProof|BarrelProof]] ([[User talk:BarrelProof|talk]]) 04:06, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
