GA review[edit]

A good article about a building that was a notable part of history/religious evolution. Some points of curiousity that a reader may be interested in knowing more about

Do we know why he moved to Plano in the first place and why he eventually moved?
Do we know of any important meetings or decisions that were made by the Church while it was based in the church. Do we know how many people the church could fit and what the attendance figures were in those days?
Did Smith use the building as a political office?
The article implies that the building was still used for religion after Smith left. I think this should be made explicit. Do we have any details on the 120+ years since then, because there is something of a gap
One of the architecture paras needs a ref
If there was any religious considerations in the architectural design, it should probably be noted.
A general expansion is always good!

Apart from that the prose/NPOV/OR/RS/COPYVIO facets are in order. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:33, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Um, I had marked this article for review and was in the middle of a review (I did some copy editing yesterday). Should I just remove that tag now? Awadewit | talk 01:02, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

oh dear... I just took the article home yesterday and started writing up. I normally don't use the "under review" tag because it irritated some people.....I should've checked to see that you reserved it....Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I meant to copy edit it and then post my review right away last night, but I was falling asleep after the copy edit and I wanted to read the article again. I'll just let you take it from here. Awadewit | talk 01:15, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since Ivo is indefinitely away, I have failed this article. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
