A very significant number of the edits in this article are made by what seem to be believing LDS editors, as they often edit the page to use the word "Mormon" or "church" without qualifier to refer exclusively to the LDS church. This is not consistent with academic or colloquial practice. There are more Mormon sects than the singular one in Salt Lake, and the language should reflect that fact, no matter how badly LDS believers want to exclude all other sects from the record. I'm making edits accordingly. Frogontrombone (talk) 15:15, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
