Draft

[edit]

I'm working on the draft for this page after discovering the work of Dr. Levine, and finding to my surprise that there wasn't anything covering him on this site. I would gladly appreciate any help I can get from others to improve this page, especially with regards to formatting and pictures. Once published, it would probably be worthwhile to add some of the info gathered to other pages, especially regarding the preservation of the Charters of Freedom, which currently has very lackluster coverage on Wikipedia.

Articles of interest not yet used or cited

[edit]

In order to help both myself and other editors further improve this page, I have decided to compile a list of links to articles I've come across which both mention Joel Levine and haven't been cited or otherwise used in the article itself yet. Feel free to edit or add to this section.

Portrait

[edit]

There is an in-colour 2006 NASA portrait of Levine on the Internet Archive, maybe it should be used instead? - JrawX / Talk / Contribs

Unnecessary BLP primary sources tag?

[edit]

The Template:BLP primary sources tag has been sitting on top of this article for a good few months now, but I don't think it's been an accurate assessment for a long while. There were legitimate reasons for adding it back when the article was put up for FAC, but the sourcing issues brought up then have since been addressed. I'd like to remove the tag myself, but as the main contributer to this article, that would probably not be appropriate without at least a talk page discussion. If there aren't any objections brought up within the next few weeks, I'll probably just go and WP:BOLDly remove it myself, since this has been really bugging me and my slightly OCD tendencies.

The article references NASA quite a lot, so I'd look to replace those sources with secondary ones or remove if there is already one. - JrawX / Talk / Contribs 08:36, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JrawX Just went through the article and removed or replaced all the primary references I could find, with the exception of those which support information extremely unlikely to be disputed, and even that only when I couldn't find a secondary source for the same info. It should be a lot better now, I think. Yitz (talk) 22:08, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
