Quote section edit

At the moment, most of this article is taken up with discussing a quote by Friedersdorf which became popular with the Occupy Wall Street movement (despite being taken completely out of context). Does anyone else feel this material isn't really relevant to this biography? It's not really about Friedersdorf, it's about Occupy Wall Street; yes, the quote was originally his, but as the article itself notes 'the quote has taken on a life of its own'. Perhaps it should be moved to a different article. Robofish (talk) 22:30, 24 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

The text in question was removed (without explanation) by User:24.130.123.19. They removed some other text as well, which I've restored; but I left the Occupy Wall Street material out of the article as I don't feel it belongs, as explained above. Robofish (talk) 12:59, 13 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Notability? edit

Which part of this article demonstrates notability? His job at The Atlantic, his newsletter, his famous-ish mentor Sullivan? Sum of the above?

It's far from obvious to me. — MaxEnt 03:33, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
