Tooele

Actually, while Anson Call helped settle a number places (an admiring descendant is writing this), Tooele (where I grew up) isn't one of them. My late cousin Kenny (author of the citation, really nice guy, loved by his extended family and probably everyone else who knew him) may have been perpetuating a myth there. My father (also named Anson Call) says that the Anson Call of this wkp page just came to Tooele to get firewood or something. I've read A. C.'s journal and biography, and I don't recall it mentioning anything about settling Tooele. So while it's nice to claim credit (for me doubly enjoyable as a Tooele person and an A.C. descendant), it probably needs a better source or to be removed. Not sure how to best update the page to reflect this, since I don't have a source handy that says he *didn't* settle there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.130.115.10 (talk) 18:34, 30 May 2015 (UTC) (I am logged in now; I added the previous comment about likelihood of a setting Tooele being a myth. -Luke)

Family search links

All of the family search links in this article are all broken. They all contain auth dety, meaning they are no good to anyone but the user who was logged in when they were copied. Family Search is not considered a reliable source, although the documents it hosts can be considered reliable in certain cases. However the reliability can't be verified as the links are busy, they either need to be corrected or removed and replaced with CN tags. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 14:07, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

NPOV Dispute - April 2026

When I stumbled upon this article I immediately got the impression that it had been edited almost exclusively by active members of the LDS church. This isn't a problem in and of itself but the result is that the article uncritically presents a believing LDS POV instead of a neutral one. For example, the following sentence "Anson witnessed, on 8 August 1844 during the Mormon succession crisis, the 'mantle' of the Prophet Joseph Smith fall upon his successor, Brigham Young." describes Call as witnessing a (supernatural) event as if it definitely happened, when NPOV should say that he claimed to have witnessed it or similar verbiage. Heavily editorialized phrasing seems to permeate the article; phrases like "they forged an unbreakable bond of love" are wholly unencyclopedic. The way the information is laid out in his biography is also highly non-chronological and confusing in how it's laid out, and much of it seems superfluous and in need of condensing; it might be best to give it a complete rewrite. – Stuart98 ( Talk • Contribs) 05:25, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
