Talk:Andrew T. Levin

Requested Changes
-- In the sidebar, my webpage URL should be specified as follows: https://sites.dartmouth.edu/alevin/

-- Reference 1 (the location of my c.v.) should be updated to the following URL: https://sites.dartmouth.edu/alevin/files/2020/11/Andrew-Levin-c.vitae-nov2020.pdf

-- Reference 2 should point to my official Dartmouth College bio page: https://economics.dartmouth.edu/people/andrew-levin

-- I am no longer a scientific advisor at Norges Bank and Sveriges Riksbank. Therefore, the third sentence of "Background and Research" should simply state: "In addition to his research, he teaches undergraduate courses at Dartmouth College." In addition, at the end of the section on "Background and Research", please add the following sentence: "Levin has served as an external advisor to the Bank of Korea and as a scientific advisor to Norges Bank and Sveriges Riksbank (the central banks of Norway and Sweden, respectively)."

-- The list of media citations ends in 2016 and needs to be updated. Therefore, please add the following references: WSJ, December 2017: https://www.wsj.com/articles/digital-currency-fever-may-spread-to-federal-reserve-1512316801 WSJ, March 2018: https://www.wsj.com/articles/jobs-report-should-keep-fed-on-path-of-gradual-rate-increases-1520609825 WSJ, Feb 2019: https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-the-fed-made-a-u-turn-perceived-risks-to-growth-shifted-11549108800 WSJ, March 2020: https://www.wsj.com/articles/fed-digital-dollars-are-part-of-debate-over-coronavirus-stimulus-11585085518 WSJ, March 2020: https://www.wsj.com/articles/plunge-in-rates-scrambles-feds-stimulus-playbook-11583531095

-- The list of media citations should also include "the Washington Post" and should include the following references: WP, May 2014: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/05/30/the-paradox-of-this-recovery-in-two-charts/ WP, April 2015: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/04/21/economists-have-discovered-how-bad-the-economy-really-is/ WP, Dec 2019: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/12/11/year-federal-reserve-admitted-it-was-wrong/ WP, April 2020: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/on-small-business/powell-pushed-to-edge-of-feds-boundaries-in-fight-for-economy/2020/04/09/c0cc487c-7a42-11ea-a311-adb1344719a9_story.html

-- At the end of the first paragraph (following the sentence about media citations), please insert the following sentence: "In November 2017, Levin served as an expert witness on the Federal Reserve's transparency and accountability at a subcommittee hearing of the United States House of Representatives. https://www.congress.gov/115/meeting/house/106618/witnesses/HHRG-115-BA20-Wstate-LevinA-20171107.pdf " -- In the final sentence of "Background and Research", please insert "Central Bank of Argentina" into the list of central banks where I have provided technical assistance.

 * I have moved the discussion from a user talk page to this page, as edit requests should go on the article's talk page. Z1720 (talk) 03:16, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I made a couple of changes:
 * In the sidebar, my webpage URL should be specified as follows: https://sites.dartmouth.edu/alevin/ ✅
 * Reference 1 (the location of my c.v.) should be updated to the following URL ✅, but note that this is not a valid reference. A CV is a primary source and generally not valid for use in references. I've updated the URL anyway since the previous one was also a primary source, so there is no harm done with the update. But it should be replaced with a secondary source.
 * I'm keeping the request open until all of them are reviewed. --MarioGom (talk) 16:13, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

1/9/2021: It makes sense that a c.v. cannot serve as a source for a wiki page. Therefore, would you please modify those three references on my bio page Andrew T. Levin as follows: Reference 1: https://www.wsj.com/articles/plunge-in-rates-scrambles-feds-stimulus-playbook-11583531095 Reference 2: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=eCzQw-IAAAAJ&hl=en Reference 5: https://www.shadowfed.org/committee/ Many thanks!

 * ✅ with exceptions: Per WP:PROMOTION and WP:DIRECTORY I have not added a detailed updated list of citations. They are likely better listed and automatically updated at Google Scholar, which is referenced in the article.  Ferkijel (talk) 21:06, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
