Wikipedia Pages

Wikipedia needs no introduction. There are a large number of Wikipedia pages that contain factual information about the church that simply isn’t mentioned in church. We know that many people unfamiliar with Wikipedia’s editing process are skeptical of the information on it. Skepticism is good, but popular articles on Wikipedia undergo a very rigorous editing process, include a ton of primary sources, and are thoroughly examined by both neutral and biased parties. Each and ever word is scrutinized.

For example, the article on Joseph Smith is relatively short. It has undergone almost 12,000 revisions by over a thousand different users. Is it perfect? No, of course not. But you’re unlikely to find a more fact-based, less biased summary of Joseph Smith’s life anywhere else.

Here are the most interesting pages, in our opinion:

Book of Abraham

Kinderhook Plates

First Vision

List of the Wives of Joseph Smith

Mormonism and Polygamy

1890 Manifesto

Archeology and the Book of Mormon

Anachronisms in the Book of Mormon

Genetics and the Book of Mormon

Historicity of the Book of Mormon

Linguistics and the Book of Mormon

Studies of the Book of Mormon

Black people and early Mormonism

Black people and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
