[edit] Move article
I was looking through the Wikipedia:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement/Articles needed and noticed that both 2000 stripling warriors and Two thousand stripling warriors were listed. I don't know what the Wikipedia preference is for article names in this case, but it seems to me that the later name (with the number spelled out) is the better name. I decided not to make the move or redirect any of the links until there is some discussion on this. Val42 03:20, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure either if there is a stated preference or not. I thought I read somewhere, though, that the article name should be the most probable usage. If that's the case, most people (I think) would use "2000" rather than spelling it out. Otherwise I have no objection to either title.--andersonpd 05:25, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
Well, there's a redirect now. I didn't do it, but it's there. --Mrcolj 14:39, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
Val42 is right; Wikipedia:Naming conventions (numbers and dates) states:
[...] Try to avoid abbreviations or anything capitalised or containing numbers (apart from where more specific guidelines specify particular exceptions to that) [...]
In any case, the Book of Mormon spells it out, which should be the guide followed. Gonna redirect it. Deadsalmon 02:31, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pacifism section
That pro-pacifism section seems a little weird to me. I mean, it is an interesting point that the 2000 Stripling Warriors is a good metaphor through which to see and discuss the consequences of pacifism. But that's not what the story's about, and the discussion here doesn't really even mention the story. It simply rants about how pacifism is good and any use of force, even in self-defense, should be branded "militarism." If no one objects, I'm just going to edit that paragraph down to one sentence. --Mrcolj 14:39, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
