Should I cite the Book of Mormon as a source? All I did was organize information from it. Scripturecentral.org just took information from the Book of Mormon and structured it to clearly explain the Nephite government. I thought it would be similar to copying and pasting a list of presidents and prime ministers, since these were real government officials. So, what’s the best way to handle this?

I also saw the Terms of Use: ‘Items in the BMC Archive are made publicly available for non-commercial, private use. Inclusion within the BMC Archive does not imply endorsement. Items do not represent the official views of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or of Book of Mormon Central.’ That left me a bit confused.

I like having clear structure, graphs, and infoboxes about leaders, so I want to ask for tips. If this is a copyright violation, how can I fix it? It’s just a list of names, dates, and reasons for terms ending, and it’s hard to reword that any more than I already have. LuxembourgLover (talk) 16:43, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
You should by now know that you can not copy info. You have to reword and source it. The Banner talk 17:00, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I know that, I’m asking about how I can reword a list of names. LuxembourgLover (talk) 17:07, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Be creative. But plain copying is never an option. The Banner talk 18:25, 7 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
