While reading through this, I thought that some of the storyline was redundant, in the sense that it went over too many little details of their journeys. It may be better to edit many of these things, but also increase some of the doctrinal themes, especially since it is the first book in the Book
726:
I've read through the original text of the book, and can find nothing which specifically identifies the land to be sailed to as
America. Is there some secondary source confirming that this is the correct interpretation? The land described could just as easily be Africa, Australia, or Asia. Cheers!
820:??? At some point it would be good to document on each of the books in the Book of Mormon what anachronisms are included. This is, after all, one of the most famous things about the Book of Mormon and one of the things that people are most interested in that study it who are not Mormon.

Is there any historical evidence for the prophet? "It was written by the ancient prophet Nephi, who lived around 600 BC" is a very concrete claim. How does "It was written by the ancient prophet Nephi, who is held by believers to have lived around 600 BC" sound? -
695:--Concerning this article, I felt impressed to add some more details on Nephi's vision which go beyond the basics of what may be typically rehearsed in the LDS church. Some of the details are fascinating when looked at with a view on their potential.

I also created a section titled "Interpretations on Nephi's Vision". If needed, perhaps it could be placed within a new article, titled "Vision of Nephi", where there is discussion on its meaning.

For one thing, I do think that if this much information is going to be added, it should have its own article. But it should grow to article size inside of this article, then be split off.

But there is a greater problem: What you wrote appears to be "original research". This may be common beliefs, but you need to cite sources in order for it to be here.
