{{Epigraph|"First Vision packs a lot more punch in a shorter amount of space..." Yes it does, John Foxe, because it is an anti-mormon tract written in the modern style. Today, the 'rant' of an older style tract would make most people's eyes roll, they wouldn't give it a moment's consideration. However, the First Vision article presents the anti-mormon POV in a scholarly tone. It criticizes without ever explicitly stating a criticism. It keeps certain things hidden in the dark. It is sly, sneaky, and underhanded. It reads like an anti-mormon tract written by Eddie Haskell after he went to graduate school. To use your own word John Foxe, it is 'foxey'. <br>Editor "74s181" (26 August 2007) {{link|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:First_Vision/Archive_7#Similar_'Good_Article'_example}} }}
