Structure

Per Val42's criticism of my structure of the article:
The original structure was better thought out. The "Content" is really an extension of the basic description in the intro, and the section on "Detractors" relates to (and is therefore a subset of) the "Event" itself.    GUÐSÞEGN   – UTEX – 06:25, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that the way that way that I'd restructured it read slightly better, but not enough to argue over. Val42 06:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

POV

Per Val42's so far cryptic mention of wanting to address POV in the article:
I think I have been very fair in creating this article. If there is POV, it is perhaps that the section entitled "The Event" sounds too much like a tourism bureau advertisement (though it is original text, as is the whole thing). I'm interested in hearing your critique. I do not want the article to carry bias.    GUÐSÞEGN   – UTEX – 06:35, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jade Knight has fixed some of the POV. The POV not yet fixed is the first sentence of "The Event"; it does read too pro-LDS Church. The "Content" section has the same problem, but not as much. Val42 06:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What the?

Why all the mormon links in this article? Why not just reference the main article on the LDS church and be done with it? I believe that article has been (and continues to be) well-vetted, with plenty of pro- and anti-mormon links.

And what's with the photo of the dissidents outside the pageant? Can't we get an actual photo FROM the pageant the article is describing? Would we place a photo of anti-war protestors at the head of an article about Bush's innauguration? Sure, the protestors deserve a mention, but putting them at the head of the article??? Am I just crazy or does anyone out there agree with me? --TrustTruth 21:21, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have a point. Can anyone provide a better photo? The Jade Knight 03:55, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, two points: (1) it's the best of my photos from the pageant (it shows the temple from a good angle, people in seats and on street ... this is what the pageant looks like on approach), and (2) since the pageant occurs after dark, it's hard to get a photo of the play itself (that is any good anyway). Any "good" photo is during daytime, and therefore just shows people milling around.    GUÐSÞEGN   – UTEX – 18:31, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reason this article should not have links that relate to things brought up in the article. Faith-promoting history, house of Joseph links, etc. are relevant. So, I am going to restore them.    GUÐSÞEGN   – UTEX – 18:36, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

disturbances

I can verify from my own experience (four times there in recent years, staying a week each time) and from talking to people, that I have never known of, or heard of, any disturbance or distraction from the performance itself. Does anyone have any contradictory evidence?    GUÐSÞEGN   – UTEX – 18:44, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
