The statues all appear to show Moroni blowing a vuvuzela not a trumpet. The difference between a trumpet and a vuvuzela is that a trumpet has a cylindrical bore and the vuvuzela a conical bore. Is there a reference to state it is a trumpet (and if possible that it is meant to be a straight trumpet)? 46.36.193.172 (talk) 20:06, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Most sources and most people don't draw a distinction between trumpet and vuvuzela. In fact, vuvuzela classifies it as a "tubular end-blown trumpet with mouthpiece". So trumpet could be understood as a general type of instrument, of which vuvuzela is one example. Likely any description of the statue/symbol of the Angel Moroni would not delve into what exact kind of trumpet it is since that's not really considered relevant. However, this source calls it a trumpet. Do you have source that calls it a vuvuzela or something else or challenges that it is a trumpet? --FyzixFighter (talk) 02:29, 22 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
No, I just looked at it and thought it was a vuvuzela. If you have a source, jolly good. Let's use it and find something more interesting to talk about. 46.36.193.172 (talk) 21:13, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

In the 'Theorized origin of the name' section there is a quoted extract which begins "If Smith saw a Salamander on a hill, rather than a toad,..." but there is no other reference to either creature in the article (or in any of the related ones, as far as I can see). What is this all about, and is some explanation needed in the article? JezGrove (talk) 13:50, 21 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
If you look closely at the image where the forearm appears to missing, you will see that the hand is still there. The angle from which the photo was taken creates the optical illusion. --FyzixFighter (talk) 17:52, 18 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Vanjagenije: You bring up some valid points. Upon further inspection the map does not directly apply to the topic, and I don't know of any sources that connect the two. I have reverted my revert. Rollidan (talk) 21:53, 13 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
