Talk:Polygamy

Question

Where do group marriages or other many-to-many setups fit in? Are there any societies that actually do it that way? Most other possibilities have been tried, not sure about that one. Sandy Harris 06:21, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Joseph Smith

Aleta had the statement correct. If Joseph Smith believed he received those revelations that's what we state. Editorializing does not make an encyclopedia. Reverted article back to Aleta's edits. Mary Ash 00:58, 12 May 2011 (CDT)

You are saying that if a man claims that he had a divine revelation, that because he really believes it we may not say he merely "claims" it, we have to just say a revelation occurred. What about people who really believe in moon-cheese or fairies, do we have to treat their words in a similar fashion? If they really believe in Martians wouldn't it be unfair of us to require that they provide some evidence for their claims?

The changes I made to theis article stood for six months until you noticed them. Your reasons for reversion seem ill-considered, and (once again) I do not believe that you have read the policy on reverting before doing so. At this point I am going to undo your reversion and pass the matter on to the relevant CZ officials to consider, because I believe that no amount of discussion will enhance your understanding of this matter.
