Only if it's a Trinitarian baptism, I would think ? "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

No.

Most other Christian denomination will not recognize it either, because LDS do not accept the Trinity, therefore a Trinitarian baptism did not occur.

Yes. Anyone can baptize in the name of Jesus Christ. You should contact your local vicar if there is any doubt about whether or not a person has been properly baptized in a way acceptable to the Anglican Communion. Most Anglican Ministers are very broad-minded about such things, so it may be wisest to take the Wikipedia article with a pinch of salt.

I dunno, but the words for the LDS baptism are as follows

[calling person by name] Having been commissioned by Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

I know that the LDS church does not recognize other denominations' baptisms--we believe other denominations don't have the priesthood necessary to perform the ordinance.

The LDS church dose baptize in the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost.
I have preformed many of them.

I don't know what churches would accept the ordinance aside from the LDS, I just know it is a ordinance preformed as correct as any from the examples found in the scriptures.

As long as the baptism was done with water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the Anglican Tradition will recognize it as valid.

Anglican's view on baptism is that it is a sacrament that should never be repeated, for the grace given us by it is bestowed of God once and for all. In fact, this is believed so strongly that the first spoken words in the Baptism Service are, "Hath this Child (Person) been already baptized or no?" (1928 BCP)
