Overview

Hi, I'm Knotsworth! I joined Wikipedia to improve accuracy, specifically, but not limited to, articles relating to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have found misinformation pertaining to the Church, so I try to do my best to improve correctness.

I'm always willing to learn from you! Talking is always a great way to understand each other. If you have a problem—feel free to discuss it!

Goals

To encourage usage of the full and proper name of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, instead of "Mormon", or "LDS Church" as the Church has requested.^[1] I believe that as an information "encyclopedia", the proper name ought to be used to ensure greater accuracy. I propose that we use "the Church", "Church of Jesus Christ", or the “restored Church of Jesus Christ” for shortened terms. This can be achieved by mentioning the full name of the Church and then using "the Church" to continue references

To use Church policy to define Church policy.^[2] Using information on what the Church believes to show what the Church believes.^[3] This improves clarity and accuracy.
