[edit] Inter-racial marriage and the LDS Church

Removed line regarding inter-racial marriage being "discouraged" by the [LDS] Church. While some General Authorities of the LDS Church may have made statements in decades past regarding inter-racial marriage, today there is no official status of "discouraged."

A statement by an apostle in 1970 does not qualify as a current or an official church position. Even if that same apostle made the same statement today, it would not be an official position. If the Church itself has come out with a "discouragement," please correct me with a cited source. Cheers,--Rojerts 16:16, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

While his name may have officially been Quacko Walker Lewis, it would seem that he went by Walker Lewis. I believe placing a "Q." at the front is the best option to avoid confusion with his uncle while still recognizing the first name. Regards, --Rojerts 15:05, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

That's why the article is named "Walker Lewis". WP policy is to include the full given name on first mention. Snocrates 20:47, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Not that I have any reason to doubt (a canine), but I'm curious where that policy is located?--Rojerts 00:02, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
