[edit] Linda Kunz's date of birth

An anonymous user just changed Linda Kunz's date of birth to 1972. I changed it back because her date of birth is 1973, according to her birth certificate, her child's birth certificate was 1986. [1]--Kewp (t) 12:07, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed move

This person is most commonly known by the name "Tom Green". I propose a move to Tom Green (polygamist) or Tom Green (Mormon fundamentalist). Before proceeding I'll wait a few days for "votes" on if to move it, and where. –SESmith 07:04, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree, and "polygamist" is better for three reasons: (1) Latter-day Saints tend to resent the expression "Mormon fundamentalist" and may someday convince the world not to use it; (2) Tom Green is controversial enough that he makes most Mormon fundamentalists cringe and disassociate with him; and, most importantly, (3) "polygamist" is the term that the press most often uses in headlines about him.

I agree with the above, use Tom Green (polygamist). Bearian 13:44, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Those reasons sound convincing to me. I'll move the page. –SESmith 10:43, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Personal comments

This is Kellie Green Tom's 3rd daughter of his 5 wives. Tom no longer has 5 wives, my mom left, now he is left with 4. Also if he has kids with any of the wives other than the "head wife" Linda, the courts can put him back in jail just like 5 years ago with less chance of getting out.

While i was living in the West Dessert, my dad made the girls wear dresses every day. We could not pierce our ears, swear, and listen to mostly rock. Of course the older boys were an exception. I grew up not knowing Tom raiped my mom or married the others young. I just thought thats the way people did things. My mom had me at 13-14ish, she's only 32 and i'm almost 18. My dad took his kids out of public school (not that it was a very public school, our family was the majority) because of that i repeted 3rd grade. When we moved i was allowed to move up a grade so i could be with my age group, i skipped 5th grade.

I don't remember my dad ever being home much, but i do remember meany reporters coming to the house. I think he liked being on TV and papers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.248.174.45 (talk • contribs)
