Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Black people and Mormonism, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. 49ersBelongInSanFrancisco (talk) 05:54, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for trying to do some good

I have to admit I feel very strongly on the topic of black people and Mormonism. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as is my wife. My wife is African-American. In some ways I get too frustrated by this topic. I have just added some more recent material on BYU and African-Americans. Such as the election in 1976 as Stevenson as a BYU student body vice president. Stevenson was African-American and his election was covered in the New York Times. I almost think we could find enough information to create an article on him. I believe there was at some point in the 1980s or 1990s an article on him in the Ensign, and I believe I saw some coverage of his far too early death a few years ago. Most of this is not in sourcing that some editors in Wikipedia would like, but we do have a full fledged article on him in the New York Times. I also added some material on Robert Foster being elected. That actually received mainly coverage only in Utah. I have to admit I know I am going to find as many things to frustrate me as to encourage me, so I am not sure if I want to dig much deeper. I really thought having the article only reflect the situation over 50 years ago was unreasonable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:48, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

• I found it! It is from the February 1992 Ensign. Here it is [1]. One of the other people mentioned in the article David W. Eka already has an article in Wikipedia, but this had not be a used source.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:40, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
