New enough and long enough, neutral, and well-cited. Earwig finds nothing. Hook is cited from online source given. QPQ done. I have taken the liberty of changing "banned from" to "banned by": the word "banning" is used in the source, but its meaning is far from clear. The source says someone demanded the book be withdrawn from bookshops and then goes on to imply that that happened by saying "the press was left with 5950 copies". With that slight tweak, ready to go... but when this comes to be promoted someone may feel that "withdrawn" would be better than "banned". Moonraker (talk) 22:20, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

I agree with this. I think withdrawn is better word choice.Skyes(BYU) (talk) 22:34, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Approving amended hook. Moonraker (talk) 01:20, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, and first did a thorough copyedit on the article. I added a line identifying who Kimball was, and I suggest something be added to the hook, like:
ALT1: ... that Thomas Cheney's biography of LDS Church leader J. Golden Kimball was withdrawn by Brigham Young University Press for containing explicit language? Yoninah (talk) 21:59, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Yes, ALT1 is better, Yoninah. Moonraker (talk) 03:00, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. Yoninah (talk) 11:22, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
