Alright, since it had been asked for at

1. What was his dad's middle name?
2. Where was Granite High School?
3. When did he graduate from University of Utah?
4. What year did he marry his wife?
5. When and how long did he serve as Utah state legislator?
6. Is there anything else about his family? If not, consider removing it, or merging is skillfully with somewhere else (maybe in article summary?).

By the way, I'm going to be removing this article from the Peer Review list at WP:LDS. Once these things have been addressed, feel free to relist it for peer review if this isn't enough, but ask specifically what you want. --Trevdna 01:56, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The answers to your questions are as follows: 1. No middle name is available for President Faust's father. In the time period in which his father was born, it was common practice for people to just have a letter as a middle name. Doesn't make much sense to me, but that's what was done. 2. Unless President Faust went to a different Granite High School, the address you're looking for is 3305 S 500 E Salt Lake City, UT 84106. 3. President Faust graduated from the U of U in 1948. 4. He was married during WWII, no specific date given. 5. He served in the Utah Legislature from 1949-1951. 6. As recorded in the 2006 Church Almanac, President Faust has 5 children, 25 grandchildren, and 21 great-grandchildren. Hope this information is helpful to you.

I had sort of meant that this should be included in the article, with more sources being seeked out if nessicary...--Trevdna 06:07, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One wonders if little moments like Faust's wandering around South American stakes showing off the gold fillings he bought from other Latin American members as a form of "payment" for the church's temple in São Paulo will ever make it into his bio. I'm guessing no. Talshiarr 07:20, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since I have reverted the edit from Coalhouse (a user who, in his/her own bio, says he/she is here merely to "create havoc") which just deleted my somewhat tongue-in-cheek comments with no rebuttal save for a silly Aristotle quotation, the gold filling bit is not untrue. I do not have a subscription to the Church News archives, nor am I going to get one for this. The Church News of May 9, 1998 tells of his purchasing the gold fillings from members "above market prices" to help pay for the temple and illustrate their devotion. Now you can read about this here at a respected, but non-"official" site, please do not simply delete comments you personally don't like.

much better my only problem was you did not site soucre. that was it, thank you for the source _ Coalhouse —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coalhouse (talk • contribs) 17:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article reads like it was translated into English by someone who is not a native speaker of English. I made a few changes in word order to try to help it read a bit better.
