Latter Day Saint disambiguation

Hi. For articles about members of the LDS Church that require disambiguation, the LDS Manual of Style says "(Mormon)" is used. For those who were notable prior to the 1844 succession crisis, "(Latter Day Saints)" is used. I've reversed a couple of moves you made to members who are notable only as LDS Church members, not as pre-succession crisis Latter Day Saints. I know this has been controversial in the past, but it's where things have settled for now. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 04:32, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Follow-up

Thanks for your help tagging numerous articles. Some other ideas for contributing to WP:LDS are listed on the work group's page on the To Do list, or you could solicit more ideas on one of the work group's talk pages. But since we've got a lot of housekeeping items pretty well squared away now, it would be a good time to work on improving all the articles we now have tagged--probably starting with the most important ones.

Looking forward to continuing to work with you! —Eustress ^talk 02:13, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I am going to be working on the items on the to-do list. Add some more items to the to-do list and I will work on it. LDS-SPA1000 (talk) 04:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Can you help me? I work at the Church Office Building. Elder Bruce C. Hafen has some concerns about his Wiki biography (Bruce C. Hafen). He has asked me to help. The last two sentences of his biography were pasted from the Salt Lake Tribune following his Evergreen address on same-gender attraction. He feels that the two sentences that have been added need more context. He has given me some sentences to add that essentially include the content that is currently while providing additional context. His suggested text has supporting citations (those being the LDS.org Newsroom transcript of his talk and his biography as posted on the LDS.org Newsroom). I'm not sure what is the best way to start.CedricMalone (talk) 19:55, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Well, you have a clear conflict of interest with the subject, so I suggest not editing the article itself, but if you posted the info here I could look at it, and revise it if necessary. LDS-SPA1000 (talk) 20:26, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

DYK issue

I have removed your proposed hook, "... that Richard Nibley was one of the original orchestra members in the Mormon Miracle Pageant?", from the queue. DYK procedure is to add a newly proposed hook to the Suggestions page where it will be reviewed by other editors before it can be put into the queue. You must not add your own hooks to the queue directly. I look forward to your positive contributions in the future. - Dravecky (talk) 07:37, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

• Addendum: In any case, the Mormon Miracle Pageant is neither a new article nor has it been expanded by a factor of 5x in the last 5 days and is thus not eligible for inclusion at DYK. - Dravecky (talk) 07:41, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Thanks, that's a tough criteria to follow. I will keep that in mind, and where is the suggestions page? I thought that was the suggestions page (after all, it is called the preparation area). LDS-SPA1000 (talk) 16:27, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Temples under construction

Hey - I hope you're ok with me including that in the template so it will automatically update when someone changes the status from Announced or Under Construction - let me know if you have any suggestions. --Trödel 02:04, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

You've lost me. Which template? LDS-SPA1000 (talk) 02:22, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

{{Infobox LDS Temple}} which is used on pages such as Gilbert Arizona Temple‎, Trujillo Peru Temple‎‎, etc that you edited a few days ago to add {{future building}}. Now the infobox will automatically add the {{future building}} template to the top of the article if the status of the temple is Announced or Under Construction. --Trödel 02:28, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

All for it, less work for everybody. LDS-SPA1000 (talk) 02:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
