An analysis of Wikipedia article "Joseph Smith, Jr." (Version 19 May 2009)

I've replaced older material in this section with new, narrative content that is more concise, more readable, well-referenced, and is better focused on Joseph Smith, Jr. I expect editing to be adequately explained.
—Wikipedia editor John "Foxe," asserting control over the "Joseph Smith, Jr." article (15 September 2008)

Your recent edits appear like thinly-veiled POV attempts at pushing an agenda, pushing your own narrative style (as opposed to the consensus of editors), and a wholesale discarding of material you yourself have determined doesn't fit the JSJr. POV profile you wish to appear. More readable? According to whom? You seem to think that a small cabal of Mormon/ex-Mormon writers have the final say on everything that happened historically. Best,
—Editor "A Sniper," responding to "Foxe" (15 September 2008)

I think you're a Mormon because you accused Foxe of pushing the material of "a small cabal of Mormon/ex-Mormon writers." OK, put your own writers on deck. Who are they? I notice that you don't actually deny being a Mormon. Come to think of it, maybe you consider yourself a "Latter-day Saint" or a "Latter Day Saint" rather than a "Mormon."
—Wikipedia editor "Hi540," joining the argument. (15 September 2008)

Look, Hi540 - you're focusing too much on me instead of the edits. I don't know who...you are, other than a Bob Jones buddy of Foxe. Regardless, I'm not a Mormon or member of any Latter Day Saint church. This I've always made clear. But what you've written above does show your POV - why exactly are you over here editing and what is your agenda? I mentioned Mormon/ex-Mormon because Foxe draws all references from either Mormons or axe-grinding ex-Mormons, other than one historian.
—Editor "A Sniper," responding to "Hi540" (15 September 2008)

∗       ∗       ∗

The quotes above represent a typical exchange between editors on this article. Ironically, "A Sniper" responded to editor "Hi540" without knowing that this is actually another editing account controlled by John "Foxe." The account was likely being operated by a close relative during this exchange while the "Foxe" account was also active. It should also be noted that "Hi 540" is the Bob Jones University course code for "Historical Research & Writing"—one of many real-world tie-ins between John "Foxe" and "Hi540."
