User talk:74s181/Sandbox/Mormonism and Christianity (early history)

I am trying to reorganize and tighten up the Mormonism and Christianity article. It is a very controversial article, the talk page has a lot of history about its evolution. For more information about why I'm doing this, see my thoughts near the end of the talk section of the original article Talk:Mormonism and Christianity. Tom suggested I work on this in my user sandbox, so that is what I'm doing.

Some guiding princples for the historical document

1. Doctrines should not be explained in detail, there should be links to specific articles on each doctrine. Where detailed explanations exist in this document:
   1. If explanations are duplicated in another article eliminate the explanations and add a link
   2. If an article on the doctrine exists but doesn't have as much info as here, a link should be added here and the additional details should be removed from here and merged into the other article.
   3. Where an article doesn't exist for the specific doctrine then one should be created, the detailed info replaced with a link and moved from here to the new article
