• 07:2107:21, 27 June 2013 diff hist −147 Kolob →Validity of Smith's translation of the Book of Abraham: This paragraph is a disgrace - it had no real comment on the controversy of the BOA, which is what the paragraph is supposed to be about
• 07:1407:14, 27 June 2013 diff hist −258 Kolob →Validity of Smith's translation of the Book of Abraham: widely regarded is an understatement; it IS a hypocephalus; there are no egyptologists that disagree; also, the comment about being a "small portion" is misplaced - removing it

• 23:1023:10, 23 June 2013 diff hist −189 Kolob Everything related to Mormonism is a topic of conversation with critics - this sentence is unnecessary - also it is a stretch to say it is "rarely" a topic discussion, I have heard this talked about many times in church

18 June 2013

• 06:0106:01, 18 June 2013 diff hist 18 Samuel the Lamanite adding image
• 05:5805:58, 18 June 2013 diff hist −1,785 Samuel the Lamanite Removing the last few pieces that are unneeded - these are already summarized in the table
• 05:5505:55, 18 June 2013 diff hist −1,946 Samuel the Lamanite →Prophecies: No need to go into such gory detail - there is as much wording here as the actual verses in the BOM - let the reader go to the BOM - the table is a really good summary
• 05:5105:51, 18 June 2013 diff hist −313 Samuel the Lamanite Summarizing much better - much more consumable for the general public
• 05:4605:46, 18 June 2013 diff hist −323 Samuel the Lamanite →Prophecies: This paragraph is incomprehensible - I only know what they are talking about because I have read this part of the BOM, I imagine everyone else would be dizzy with confusion
• 05:4205:42, 18 June 2013 diff hist 300 Samuel the Lamanite more balance to the lede - this is not an article just for Mormons
• 05:3805:38, 18 June 2013 diff hist −130 Zarahemla removing this image - again speculative archaeology - in the lede we have a reference to Archaeology and the Book of Mormon if people want to dive in
• 05:3605:36, 18 June 2013 diff hist −912 Zarahemla →Story: trying again
• 05:3605:36, 18 June 2013 diff hist 5,077 Zarahemla Undid revision 560402629 by Descartes1979 (talk) - didn't mean to blank... undoing
• 05:3505:35, 18 June 2013 diff hist −5,077 Zarahemla Removing this paragraph - it speaks nothing of Zarahemla, and is all speculative archaeology - we need to point people to Archaeology and the Book of Mormon if they want to delve in that direction
• 05:3005:30, 18 June 2013 diff hist −4,279 Zarahemla →Local setting: Sorry - this is not salvageable - it is completely speculative, and all of it is original research - the only outside reference is to a fringe Mormon website that is equally as speculative - let's get some real scholars to back this up
• 05:2805:28, 18 June 2013 diff hist −402 Zarahemla There is so much original research here my head is spinning - how has this survived for so long as a valid WP entry?
• 05:2105:21, 18 June 2013 diff hist −309 Zarahemla →Story: these aren't citations about what people say, this is original research with just a bunch of references to Mormon scripture
• 05:1905:19, 18 June 2013 diff hist −218 Zarahemla →Story: Not sure how stone vs. wood is relevant - also the "exaggerated" setting? Weasel word. Also - it wasn't some mormons, it was JS himself
• 05:1105:11, 18 June 2013 diff hist −625 Zarahemla New section - and removing a pretty ridiculous paragraph in my opinion - completely speculative and the single reference is pretty suspect as well - let's get some independent research referenced here guys
• 05:0705:07, 18 June 2013 diff hist 140 Zarahemla reference to archaeology and the BOM
