It's Stavsky, not Staysky
editThe New York Times partly got it right as Stavsky, and partly wrong as Staysky. They're not the only ones with this mistake. The name of the URL is correct (Stavsky), but the two mentions of the bride (Lois) and the father (Eliiot) have the mistaken Staysky.
An Ohio rabbi named David Stavsky, correctly named on the website of the OU website, is incorrectly named in an Ohio Jewish Chronicle article as Oavid Staysky. Pi314m (talk) 06:53, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Not sure why his name is sorting under the letter "I" in "21st-century American male writers" category
editI added the Infobox person to try to fix it, but it didn't fix it, unless maybe it takes a little while to register. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.36.234.250 (talk) 07:46, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
