:Yep, the name was too long and unwieldy, I partially agree with you Tom. I've renamed it Joseph Smith and Mormon doctrine (G.G). Is that a more appropriate name or do you still feel it should be shortened? Its just that it addresses both a little about Joseph Smith and a little about doctrine. Prab, I know what you mean, and I think you are probably in the majority, when you feel that there should be one main article instead of many small articles. I think however that perhaps that is not the best way to structure a religious wiki like this. If we do I find that the site becomes like wikipedia and becomes a pure encyclopedia. That's what I think we need to try and avoid. The ''topic (overview)'' (e.g. [[Mormonism (overview)]]) is the one main article on the topic of Mormonism; There is also space then for allowing the smaller personal opinion topics. Take a look at the [[Justification]] page to see what I mean. [[Justification]] is the contents page; [[Justification (overview)]] is the main article - or will be once it is more than a [[stubs|stub]] that provides a more neutral and encyclopedia point of view; and then under the ''Discussion and opinion articles'' section there are three different articles, one is mine [[Grace - Justification by faith alone (G.G.)]]; another by some user called J.S. [[A look at justification by faith and good works in Luther's theology (J.S)]]; and the other by a user called Benjamen Meng [[Justification (Benjamen Meng)]]. Now the thing is, all of these three articles are talking about the topic from the authors person point of view, and in each case, a Protestant point of view - it just happens to be the point of view I agree with and the one I believe is true, however, a Catholic or Eastern Orthodox or Oriental Orthodox point of view is very different. So this is one reason why I do not believe that concentrating on just one main article is a mistake. For another example, take a look at [[Islam]]. You'll see there is the overview article [[Islam (overview)]], which unfortunately is still small and is stub, but hopefully will eventually grow. Now, you'll also see that there is the ''Testimonies'' heading with a personal testimony of conversion [[Al-Gharib's testimony]]. Again, if we only concentrated on one main article on [[Islam]] like wikipedia does, then where would this personal testimony fit it? --[[User:Graham grove|Graham grove]] 17:43, 26 July 2006 (PDT)
