[edit] Outline

I've added some material to the Liberty Jail page, but there is more to add. I'm planning an outline is as follows:

Description
Incarceration
Conditions
Revelations
Visitors
(some kind of title for a section describing their escape.
Visitor's Center

If you happen along, feel free to add / edit / whatever.74s181 04:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I think the best title for the escape section is 'Change of Venue', need to find the quote from Joseph Smith where he uses this terminology. 74s181 11:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Austin King and POV

I took out the following comment about Austin King:

a long time enemy of the church

That's POV with no substantiation. There's a ton of stuff online about the trial and none of it uses the inflammatory POV comments. The characters involved reads like a who's who from Missouri History. I've wikied most to show they had lives and histories beyond the imprisonment. Putting POV into this article cheapens it and diminishes its impact giving it the impression of being a pro-Mormon rant rather than an encyclopedic article on a very important topic.

The reference states this, it is almost a quote. I didn't make it up. It's kind of hard to reconcile the other facts of the trial with an impartial judge. 74s181 04:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
