Relevant Subject Guide/Page summary
With the particular article pertaining to David Bodian, the biography guide provides a very good foundation and understanding of how to approach improvements/writing a wikipedia page on a person or historical figure. To begin with, it is advised to write an article on a person that has a couple or several reliable, unbiased sources that contain biographical or relevant information to this person's life. When drafting a new page, the person should meet the Wikipedia standards for notability that being that there's some significant amount of coverage and sources. However, as it pertains to adding/improving an existing article, it is usually best to try to check if the existing article already contains information that follows this simple outline of lead, early life, career, legacy (publications, accolades), references. Make sure that sources stay neutral i.e. check language/word choice and try the triangulation tactic (do other sources report similar information?). It is good to familiarize oneself with well written, A class or higher biographical pages to see what a good comprehensive biographical page should look like. In general, the article should try to remain as neutral as possible, even when the person may have been involved in a controversial topic (i.e. report and state the positions and the data).
