I removed the reference to "commonly called N. Eldon Tanner, but my explanation upon removing it was muddled and wrong. I removed it because although he was known as "N. Eldon Tanner" in the LDS Church, he was known by his full name in Alberta politics, which he is just as noted for as his LDS Church service. Ubi Terrarum 10:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

I arrived at this article by clicking on "Nathan Tanner" from the "List of Zions Camp Participants," but it's not the same Nathan Tanner (his grandfather, or great-grandfather, I think). I will also put this note on that page, but if someone (who has more expertise) can fix it, that'd be great. Thanks, Kingsfold (talk) 20:03, 21 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Add quote where he contradicts himself?

Eldon Tanner is recorded as saying "The church has no intention of changing it's doctrine on the Negro. Throughout the history of the original Christian church, the Negro never held the Priesthood. There's really nothing we can do to change this. It's a law of God." (http://www.utlm.org/newsletters/no39.htm) This was said in 1967. However, in 1978 this idea was made obsolete with the Revelation on Priesthood, which he is credited as being a part of. I believe it's important to add this quote in some way, as it adds context about the church during this time, and illustrates what its leadership was like. I'm aware that this may make the article biased, but this contradiction is significant. Terrarialord201 (talk) 04:41, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
