|subject=The lost 116 pages&lt;br /&gt;
|summary=It is claimed that Joseph Smith did not retranslate the 116 lost pages of the Book of Lehi because he knew that he could not reproduce the exact same text. They claim that alterations in a different handwriting to the stolen manuscript would have been readily apparent. Some suggest that the writing of the 116 pages served as an “apprenticeship” to allow Joseph to improve his writing skills.&lt;br /&gt;

|summary=We have a number of accounts of the translation process from the perspective of various contemporary second-hand witnesses who viewed the Prophet as he dictated to his scribes. The only person other than Joseph who attempted to directly translate was Oliver Cowdery. Oliver, however, did not record any details regarding the exact &#039;&#039;physical&#039;&#039; process that he employed during his attempt&amp;amp;mdash;we only have the &#039;&#039;spiritual&#039;&#039; aspect of the process.&lt;br /&gt;

|link=Book of Mormon/Translation/Tight versus loose translation&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{SummaryItem&lt;br /&gt;
|link=Mormonism and history/Accuracy of Church art&lt;br /&gt;
|subject=Artistic depictions of the Book of Mormon translation&lt;br /&gt;
|summary=People are sometimes troubled when they see artists&#039; depictions of the Prophet and Oliver sitting at a table while Joseph views the plates as they sit in plain sight. Obviously, the plates never sat exposed in plain view, and these artistic interpretations originate purely in the mind of the artist. Some accounts indicate that the plates sat on a table covered with a cloth &amp;quot;in plain view,&amp;quot; with Emma indicating that she actually moved them around in order to perform her household chores.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Interview of Emma Smith by her son Joseph Smith III, &amp;quot;Interview with Joseph Smith III, 1879,&amp;quot; {{EarlyMormonDocs| vol=1|start=541|end=542 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{SummaryItem&lt;br /&gt;
|link=Book of Mormon/Translation/Location of the plates&lt;br /&gt;
|subject=Location of the plates during translation&lt;br /&gt;
|summary=Some witness accounts suggest that Joseph was able to translate while the plates were covered, or when they were not even in the same room with him.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Interview of Emma Smith by her son Joseph Smith III, &amp;quot;Interview with Joseph Smith III, 1879,&amp;quot; in {{EarlyMormonDocs1| vol=1|start=539 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Therefore, if the plates themselves were not being used during the translation process, why was it necessary to have plates at all?&lt;br /&gt;

|link=Mormonism and history/Censorship and revision/Hiding the facts&lt;br /&gt;

|summary=Quite a few items that are claimed to have been hidden by the Church were actually published in Church magazines such as the &#039;&#039;New Era&#039;&#039;, the &#039;&#039;Ensign&#039;&#039; and the &#039;&#039;Friend&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
