Question
In regards to the wrapping of the hand tefillin according to the Ashkenazi method, I see the shin and the yud, but only part of the dalet. This link shows the way I was taught to wrap and this seems to be standard Ashkenaz. Is this not correct?

The link you shows you correctly the proper way to wind the Tefillin around your fingers according to the Ashkenazi custom. . The part of the "shin" which is closest to the fingers serves as part of the "shin" but also as a "dalet."
