I have moved the material from the main Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints article here, and restructured it. I intend to edit the main article's contents to reduce the length. Suggestions welcome. WBardwin 19:24, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move Article?
Would the article be better titled as: Standard Works of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Standard works (LDS Church)? I don't think standard works by itself makes much sense outside the LDS context. WBardwin 19:24, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think so - unless there is a possibility of confusion with something else called the Standard Works - no clarification is necessary in the title. Though the article makes it clear it is for the CJC. --Trödel 02:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- I was just thinking about the alphabetical index and the difficulty non-LDS people might have in finding the article. How many people outside LDS culture would recognize this title as relating to scriptures? The only other context in which I've seen standard works is computer code/talk -- and that's relatively rare and would probably not be a source of confusion. So would Scriptures of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints work better in the index? Maybe as a redirect page? WBardwin 04:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Good point - we should probably read over the title creation policy as well. If we do move it to Scriptures... this should stay a redirect, as if one heard the term Standard Works and wondered exactly what it meant they should be able to easily find it. --Trödel 12:43, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Three Standard Books
The traditional RLDS / Restoration Branches have three books of scripture, not accepting the Pearl of Great Price or the LDS version of the D&C. Perhaps a seperate article should be written about those. --BenMcLean 18:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Standard work
Need I say more? Please " { { disambiguation } }" do. Good night! Ludvikus 09:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Standard Works vs. Standard works vs. Stand works DISAMBIGUATION is needed very badly here! Ludvikus 13:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- I really don't see your point? This is, so far as I know, the only article on Wikipedia dealing with this topic and using this title. Your links above all come here. We could put this page on a disambig dealing with scriptures or holy texts? Comments?WBardwin 23:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

- Ah! Found your stub Standard work. Hope the sentence on the top of that page helps for now. We are discussing a possible name change, and there may be a third article dealing with RLDS standard works. If so, we could develop a disambig page. Best wishes. WBardwin 23:14, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Typeface
I was wondering what typeface the Standard Works are printed in. Anybody know? Knowledgesmith 03:56, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
