I found it hard to believe there was no distinct History of Utah article, given the length and coverage of the Utah article. I copied all history material from that article as a start. There are many big and little articles on Utah historical subjects on Wiki? How should we organize this material? There is a brief outline on Wikipedia:WikiProject Utah/History of Utah.
Here is a suggestion from the To Create section on the Utah project page:
What about the date breakouts? To broad or narrow? And do we need a later article dealing with more "modern" times?
Other ideas on how to organize? WBardwin 06:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to collect a list of sources we can harvest to expand/cite this article. Add any useful books or websites you come across which provide info on the history of Utah. -- Lethargy 18:50, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
It may well be that there were no Shoshone camped at the first spot chosen by Mormon settlers as asserted in this unsourced edit by Rockford1963 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) but the cited source (Page 6, Madsen) describes the Salt Lake Valley as within the territory of the Northwestern Shoshone.

I noticed that most of the photos in this article are of nature, rock carvings, maps etc. I think a reader would think to find at least one covered wagon depcited or a picture of the beehive house or something like this Rockford1963 ( talk) 18:10, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
This entire articles needs to conform to wikipedia's standards. Not only are individual facts not cited, but their is a strong LDS bias. I will be deleting large parts of the page if things are not cited, and the bias not removed in a fortnight. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.108.232.33 ( talk) 00:26, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
Curious approach to neutralizing bias. I'm not an expert on slavery, woman suffrage, and the Native American's plight but is mormon really the root of 100% of the world's evil? Couldn't a compromise of 99.5% evil be possible? Maybe even 99.7%? Purely for the sake of keeping Wikipedia "in my own vain personal opinion of what is and is not" nonbiased? At the very least please expound further on how letting women vote was an inherently evil ploy. I might be missing a few cobbles because I thought that was a good thing. But don't lose faith. they'll get that Brigham Young, and his little dog too! 67.182.220.227 ( talk) 06:09, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
