Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented.

-- 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

-- 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.<ref>https://www.congress.gov/115/meeting/house/106618/witnesses/HHRG-115-BA20-Wstate-LevinA-20171107.pdfCite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name (see the help page)."

-- 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 appreciate your consideration in handling these edits; many thanks! Andrew.T.Levin (talk) 02:58, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

I made a couple of changes:

In the sidebar, my webpage URL should be specified as follows: https://sites.dartmouth.edu/alevin/ Done
Reference 1 (the location of my c.v.) should be updated to the following URL Done, 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)[reply]

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! Andrew.T.Levin (talk) 18:11, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done 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)[reply]
