Talk:Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum

Cleanup by a friend of Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum

Disclosure: I am a friend of the subject of this article and the webmaster of her website. She asked me to clean up some of the misleading details of this article.

• She would rather not include her birthdate here. It isn't relevant.
• There was a note about her grossing a large amount of money in the 14 years preceding 2000. That information can be misconstrued that she is rich. The original intent was probably to show that she is a successful designer. It was appropriately documented from court records. But seven years later, it is intrusive on her financial privacy. I changed the text to read that she has sold millions of designs which gets to her popularity but removes the precise yet outdated financial aspects.
• There was a note about her working with her daughter Elizabeth Post. That was on a couple of designs out of over a hundred. It's misleading. Beth Post has done no designs on her own. The original author probably had in mind that one of Marilyn's other daughters, Nora Corbutt, is the designer for Mirabilia. But they have very separate businesses.
• I looked at the article for Teresa Wentzler, another leading embroidery designer, to gauge the tone of such an article on people in this field. I believe my edits brought this article closer to unbiased and factual.

Thank you for your clean-up efforts and additional information. However, I found it appropriate to restore Ms. Levitt-Imblum's year of birth (note that the day is not given) as it is pretty basic biographical information. If the date is wrong, I hope you will fix it. Crypticfirefly 04:02, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
