Better photo

Hello! The current photo on Levy's article is blurry and there are better photos of him out there. Could we replace it with a higher quality one?

Dan Levy (Canadian actor) → Dan Levy – I think it's time we recognize that the Canadian actor is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. He has amassed an average of over 23,000 page views per day over 2020 to date, while the comedian has less than 1,000 and the journalist has 2. -- Tavix ^(talk) 19:37, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as I think this is obviously a very recent pop culture spike and may not reflect long-term trends - it was only 2 years ago this article was getting 5% of its current views, and only 6 months ago it was getting a quarter. There are also many Daniel Levy's to consider. Its best to keep all disambiguated. Stop thinking of PRIMARYTOPIC as granting people "recognition". -- Netoholic @ 07:09, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment isn't this WP:RECENTISM due to the 2020 Emmy Awards? -- 67.70.26.89 (talk) 21:28, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Becoming the first person to win a Primetime Emmy Award in all four major disciplines in a single year goes a long way towards establishing long-term significance. -- Tavix ^(talk) 22:24, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as I'm in agreement with part of Netoholic's argument - there are numerous Dan Levys in the world. To 'recognise' one as the definitive Dan Levy over the others is to disrespect the work of the others. To say Dan Levy (Canadian actor), Dan Levy (journalist), Dan Levy (comedian), etc, etc, doesn't disrespect any of them. It simply distinguishes between them. 84.13.35.96 (talk) 15:14, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Four disciplines"

@55eo55: Hi there, re: this edit, can you please explain what you mean by "four disciplines"? While I get that he won for acting, directing and writing, what is the fourth "discipline"? The fourth award I see is a general award for the show, which doesn't seem like a "discipline" in the way that knowing how to act/write/direct would be disciplines. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:58, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: He won for directing, writing, acting, and producing, which are four different "disciplines" or fields. The comedy series award was won as a producer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 55eo55 (talk • contribs) 06:49, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. Can you please sign your response next time with four tildes as is required of all contributing editors on talk pages? The last "discipline" of production is not supported by any explanatory information, which is why I was confused, and I think some explanatory material needs to be added. Or...the "four disciplines" hyperbole should be scaled back. The source article doesn't make any claim about the grandiosity of four "discipline" wins being achieved in a single year, so it's really striking me as promotional fluff, which is highlighted by the fact that most of the other content you submitted in that edit has been reverted for one reason or another. The phrasing feels... "icky". Cyphoidbomb (talk) 07:55, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
