[edit] Adam Valen Levinson

Unverifiable bio, likely hoax. Page has been marked as possible vandalism since July. Adam's parents are listed as Gerald Levinson and Nanine Valen. Their son is apparently 16 years old, which doesn't agree with the 1789 birthdate given in Adam's article. For some inexplicable reason Levinson's children had been linked in his article, which was certainly an invitation for mischief. Quale 06:10, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

The existence of a blogger of the same name [1] makes me suspect hoax as well. Delete unless verified. --Dvyost 06:27, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. This is a hoax. The article quotes "Levinson" as referring to "the Liberians" in 1807, although Liberia was not known as such at that time; settlement of freed slaves from the United States didn't begin until 1817. Also, the area was not being colonized by the French or other Europeans in 1807. --Metropolitan90 06:29, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
