Jack Kopstein
Hello. Welcome to Wikipedia! I removed the facebook and other social network links to this article, because Wikipedia policy is not to link to social networking sites (See WP:ELNO for an explanation why). I also removed a bit of the hyperbole (worked tirelessly is a judgement call and not encyclopedic). The article reads like it has been taken from a book - if this is the case please do a re-write, since it would be a violation of the copyright of that work. If I can help you with the process or you have any questions, please feel free to ask me through my talk page. As a last note, it is a good idea to use the edit summary box, as it lets people know what you are doing. Again, I would like to help if I can. Sea photo Talk 06:54, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
