The first sentence reads:
The 1886 Revelation is a purported revelation received by John Taylor, the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), that restates the permanence of certain revelations received by Joseph Smith, Jr., supposedly including plural marriage.
Is there any way we can reduce the number of weasel words and qualifiers being used in this sentence? The words that could be considered "weasel words" are bolded. It's not that all such words are always bad, but the number in this sentence makes it look like an awfully weaselly sentence. Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:19, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

The original source cited ( http://web.archive.org/web/20131021173709/http://www.mormonfundamentalism.com/questions_concerning_the_1887.htm) claims it was written in John Taylor's handwriting, not John W. Taylor's. This sentence is worded to imply the opposite. Also, this source is cited multiple times in this article, but it appears to be unreliable. Its author is anonymous. There is no citation to the primary source of the handwriting analysis. The website itself appears to be a collection of sourced documents with added unsourced and opinionated commentary. Can we either get reliable sources added or remove the content that references this source?
