David P. Levin (and Teaneck)
- Take a look at WP:COMMONNAME we tend to be a liitle less formal in Wikipedia, except in articles about the highways. I am careful to distinguish between county roads, state roads, U.S. highways and Interstate highways, but most readers aren't even aware that there's a difference. In terms of the Levin article, writing in a non-promotional tone and using appropriate sources are the main issues. Take a look at the changes I made and look at other articles for people in his profession as models. I'm here in Teaneck and happy to help. Alansohn (talk) 01:57, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
- The citation format tag was added at the top of the article. Add sources as you already have and I will put them in the proper format. Many of the details of his career are pretty much OK, but the biographical details need appropriate sources. People like Levin usually have had articles written about them in newspapers providing details of their childhood and education. A yearbook is always a problematic source, because all it proves (if I could see it online or at the library) is that someone with that name attended the school and there innumerable Daniel Levin's out there, 1/26th of whom (on average) will have a "P" as a middle initial.

Love Actually
WikilinkingHi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:
Thanks and my best wishes. Tony (talk) 02:33, 30 December 2013 (UTC) Tony, Thanks for the advice... appreciate any you have to give, as I am attempting to contribute as much as I can, and am still learning my way. Will remember your above points. I noticed on some pages they were linked, and on others they weren't, and was trying to err on the side of caution. |
