==Question: Was there no mention of revival activity in 1820 in the newspaper?==
===References to regional revival activity in the ''Palmyra Register'', a newspaper which Joseph's family would have read, are clearly evident===
A Presbyterian historian on Wikipedia comments on this FAIR Wiki article: 
<blockquote>
FAIR disagrees with your assessment and stubbornly holds to an 1820 date, Methodist camp meetings as interdenominational revivals, no date conflation, and local newspapers not reporting local news. The FAIR page never suggests that the time and place of the interdenominational religious awakening is irrelevant...<ref>Wikipedia editor "John Foxe", (9 December 2007)</ref>
</blockquote>

Indeed, we "stubbornly hold" to the 1820 date, and we do not consider the time and place of religious awakening irrelevant. This claim by critics that there is no record of revival activity in the region surrounding Palmyra during the 1820 timeframe has simply not stood up to historical scrutiny. References to regional revival activity in the ''Palmyra Register'', a newspaper which Joseph's family would have read, are clearly evident. While these revivals did not occur in Palmyra itself, their mention in the local newspaper would have given Joseph Smith the sense that there was substantial revival activity in the region. <ref>These primary sources, not surprisingly, are omitted from the "First Vision" Wikipedia article.

*GREAT REVIVALS IN RELIGION. The religious excitement which has for some months prevailed in the towns of this vicinity...This is a time the prophets desired to see, but they never saw it....&mdash;''Palmyra Register'', June 7, 1820 (Ballston, NY - 196 miles away from Palmyra)
*REVIVAL. A letter from Homer [N.Y.] dated May 29, received in this town, states, that 200 persons had been hopefully converted in that town since January first; 100 of whom had been added to the Baptist church. The work was still progressing.&mdash;''Palmyra Register'', August 16, 1820 (Homer, NY - 76 miles away from Palmyra)
*REVIVALS OF RELIGION. "The county of Saratoga, for a long time, has been as barren of revivals of religion, as perhaps any other part of this state. It has been like 'the mountains of Gilboa, on which were neither rain nor dew.' But the face of the country has been wonderfully changed of late. The little cloud made its first appearance at Saratoga Springs last summer. As the result of this revival about 40 have made a public profession of religion in Rev. Mr. Griswold's church....A revival has just commenced in the town of Nassau, a little east of Albany. It has commenced in a very powerful manner....&mdash;''Palmyra Register'', September 13, 1820 (Saratoga, NY - 193 miles away from Palmyra)
*FROM THE RELIGIOUS REMEMBRANCER A SPIRITUAL HARVEST. "I wish you could have been with us yesterday. I had the pleasure to witness 80 persons receive the seal of the covenant, in front of our Church. Soon after 135 persons, new members, were received into full communion. All the first floor of the Church was cleared; the seats and pews were all crowded with the members...''Palmyra Register'', October 4, 1820 (Bloomingsgrove, NY - 209 miles away from Palmyra)

===There wasn't even any mention of the 1818 revival in Palmrya in the local newspaper===

Critics often wish to place the revival which Joseph spoke about in 1818. However, even though we know that a revival occurred in Palmyra during June 1818, there is no mention of it in the town paper, despite the fact that it was attended by Robert R. Roberts, who was one of "only three Methodist bishops in North America." <ref> Discussed and cited on pages 9&ndash;10 of {{DialogueP | author=D. Michael Quinn | article=Joseph Smith's Experience of a Methodist 'Camp-Meeting'|date=12 July 2006|num=3|pdf=http://www.dialoguejournal.com/excerpts/e3.pdf}}</ref>

Once again, the commonality of such an event did not ensure that it would get a mention&mdash;yet, by the critics' same argument, this "silence" in the newspaper should mean that the 1818 revival didn't happen either.
