- Copyedit: Fix grammar, punctuation, style to be more accurate, and in accordance with the New York City LDS History Style Guide.
- Source: Although opinions and personal ideas can be helpful, statements purported to be official Church policy will be more effective if backed up by an official source. Use the Cite ex tension to add <ref> tags to list your sources
