==Old news==
I keep uploading information, and someone keeps erasing it saying that it is blatant advertising. So I've changed it and it is no longer in any shape or form advertising... if they would read it, instead of just erasing it everytime, they would see it isn't. - [[User:krieglax23|krieglax23]]

<blockquote>Leviton mass produces low-end residential quality electrical products.  These products include cheap snap-together brass light sockets that use a cardboard insulator between the live electrical terminals and the metal housing.  Since there is no ground connection, it is common to receive an electric shock from a light fixture or metal lamp, if it uses a Leviton socket.

Leviton also manufactures electrical [[Switch| switches]].  Leviton's 4-way switch (a polarity-reversing switch also used for turning lights on and off from one floor of a stairwell where there are at least two other 3-way switches) has [http://wearcam.org/levitonsillitis.htm proven to be defective].

== Ripped off text. ==

The contents of the article seem to have been copied directly out of a Leviton press release. Can we cut out the plagiarized marketing-speak and have a real write-up on the company and its products?

== There we go ==

Now it's no longer a "rip-off". '''But, it needs more work.''' Leviton is a huge company. We also need a logo and some pictures.

I'll remove the stub catagory tag soon; unless someone objects? --[[User:Charles Gaudette|Charles Gaudette]] 20:31, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

== History edit request ==
{{edit COI|ans=y}}

Hi editors of Wikipedia, this is Meaghan. I'm an employee at Burson, and our client is Leviton, so please note that I've disclosed my COI over on my user page for full transparency: [[user:MeagYoungblood]]. I've been working away at a draft that would update the Leviton History section as the article is incredibly outdated, and lacking in both historical information as well as recent developments. Additionally, there are multiple uncited sentences I've either removed or provided a proper citation for, as well as removed some more promotional-sounding bits.

This new History section would ideally replace the existing one, plus remove the Patent lawsuits section. I in no way want to diminish the lawsuit by removing the section; I just don't believe it is significant enough to have it as its entire own section. I would also love to get some feedback on that if any editors have opinions on this.

I understand this is a reasonably large draft, so to the editor (or editors) that do take the time to evaluate this request: Thank you for your time.

Here is a list of changes I've made to the article with the draft:

{{collapse top|title=List of History section changes}}

*Added three new citations into the first paragraph about the founding of the company by Evser Leviton and his son Isidor, cited to a ''Greenpointers'' article, a ''[[Long Island Business News]]'' article, and a [[Harvard Business Review]] case study.
*Cited an article from ''[[The New York Times]]'' that the company moved to Williamsburg in 1916, then to Greenpoint in 1922.
*Added a new paragraph about how Leviton began manufacturing wall outlets and switches in the 1920s, and later in 1936, they built a manufacturing plant in Greenpoint that allowed them to make pull chains, all cited to the Harvard Business study.
*Added Leviton's first acquisition of American Insulated Wire in 1937, which was later sold to Southwire in 2010, cited to an ''Electrical Business'' article.
*Cited the Harvard Business study to add a sentence that Leviton manufactured materials for the Allies during World War II.
*Removed the sentence about Leviton acquiring the Laurel Lamp Company, which could not be cited. Also, I removed the Deal Electric Company acquisition as I could not find a source for it.
*Added a new sentence detailing Leviton's opening of a manufacturing facility in North Carolina and in Rhode Island in 1963, cited to ''The New York Times'' and Harvard Business study.
*Added that Isior's son Harold assumed the role of CEO in 1965, and Isior's son-in-law Jack Amsterdam became chairman, cited to ''Architect Magazine'' and ''The New York Times.''
*Added a new sentence cited to Live Design Online detailing how Harold Leviton facilitated jobs for 150 people impacted by the [[Azores]] [[Capelinhos]] volcano eruption in 1957.
*Updated the citation for the company moving to Little Neck in 1973 to a ''New York Times'' article.
*Added a ''Cabling Installation & Maintenance'' citation for a new sentence about Harold's passing, leading to his sons-in-law Donald Hendler and Stephen Sokolow becoming CEO and chairman of the board.
*Removed the sentence about Leviton acquiring NSI Corp.
*Absorbed the Patent lawsuits section in the History section, removing all three of the citations in the existing section and replacing them with an ''Electrical Marketing'' article. I authored a new sentence explaining Lutron's lawsuit against Leviton over patent infringement.
*Removed the paragraph about Leviton parting with Ford to create an electric vehicle and Leviton's partnership with Toyota to manufacture chargers. Removed the AutoBlog citation, which is a dead link, and the PRNewswire article which came directly from the company and shouldn't be cited.
*Introduced a new paragraph detailing Leviton's acquisitions in the 2010s, including Home Automatic Inc in 2012 (cited to ''Electrical Business''), Brand-Rex in 2015 (cited to ''Cabling Installation & Maintenance''), ConTech Lighting in 2016 (cited to ''[[Newsday]]''), and Birchwood Lighting in 2017 (cited to ''The Orange County Register'' and ''Architect Magazine''.)
*Added a sentence that cites ''The Orange County Register'' article which notes that by 2017 Leviton was considered the largest producer of electrical wiring devices in the United States with 6,500 employees, and $1.5 billion in revenue.
*Added an Electrical Business citation for a new sentence about Leviton acquiring Berk-Tek from [[Nexans]] for $202 million in 2020.
*Added one final sentence about Leviton launching its level 2 electric vehicle charging stations, cited to ''The Buzz''.

I understand that this is quite a lengthy request, so I'm thankful to editors who take a look at this and provide some feedback.

Hello, I've returned to this request since there's been no movement. I went back into the article's history to find editors who've made updates to the article in the past to drop a (hopefully not bothersome) ping: [[User:Drmies]], [[User:Codename Noreste]], and [[User:Alien333]].

== Introduction edit request ==

{{edit COI|a}}

Hi editors, I'm back with one more edit request. This time, it is much shorter: I noticed the Introduction was shrunken down quite a bit when my edit request to update the article's History section was implemented, leaving the existing intro to say that Leviton only manufactures electrical wiring, which is simply inaccurate. So, I drafted a new Introduction for review.

This new draft seeks to add back in a list of products, but this time, the products listed reflect the new sourcing within the article.

Please take a look below:

{{collapse top|title=Introduction draft}}
'''Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc.''' is an American manufacturer of electrical wiring equipment in North America. The company produces [[electrical outlets]], network infrastructure, [[USB hardware|USB charging devices]], [[switch]]es, lighting, [[dimmer]]s and other [[lighting control system]]s, wall and ceiling [[occupancy sensor]]s, wall plates, [[electrical]] [[light socket]]s, load centers and [[circuit breaker]]s, EV charging stations, [[GFCI]], and [[submetering|utility submeter]]ing.

{{collapse bottom}}

It would be awesome if editors had time to review and potentially implement this new Intro. Again, if you have any questions, please let me know!! Thank you!! [[User:MeagYoungblood|MeagYoungblood]] ([[User talk:MeagYoungblood|talk]]) 18:00, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

:This is a very long list that is rather unwieldy to read. Could you maybe condense it?

::Hi [[User:Alien333]], thanks for the helpful feedback. I went back into the backend text and removed some of the language to condense it. Specifically, I removed the following: lighting, dimmers, switches, wall and ceiling occupancy sensors, wall plates, and electrical light sockets.

== Images Request ==

Hi editors, I'm back with another edit request. I noticed the article does not include many images, so I have provided two additional images for consideration.

Please take a look below:
