thread_title: He didn't get rejected from the Daily Bruin

message: I have removed this section - Breitbart is not by any standards a reliable source, but rather a biased advocacy group.  Furthermore, the allegations are disputed by Klein himself. ThatOtherMike (talk) 12:55, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't think I'd classify him as center-left, certainly he's no fan of centrism  (or at least centrism qua centrism).  He very well could be a moderate compared to campus lefties but still be on the liberal edge of the overall political sphere.  Makgraf 05:45, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: center left

message: This private website/forum/mailing list he created has been getting a bit of attention over the last week. Here's an article about it: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/20086.html . I don't think it has yet risen to the level of notability that requires it being mentioned in the article, but it's something to keep an eye on.Lord of the Ping (talk) 17:41, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I think a brief mention might be okay. Go for it! Obviously remember to keep it neutral, rather than something like, "zOmg, the librul-Obamedia is cabaling!!1!". :-) Mahalo. --Ali'i 15:37, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I absolutely think it needs to be mentioned here.  I was going to make a whole article on it.  If you want, we could compromise and mention it here instead.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.82.57.163 (talk) 15:14, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ok, I added the section. Edit and improve please.Lord of the Ping (talk) 19:13, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:   Looks sweet.  I don't think we need more.  It's for others to debate the project itself (and in forums other than Wiki).  Only tweaks I would have are some tiny prose style things.  And (I think) the Kaus 2007 reference was rather an oblique reference to the group (used a nickname for it and just had a gibe in passing) (which explains why it never came up as an issue before the Politico kerfuffle and why it had no public knowledge, Lexus/Nexus, etc.) 72.82.57.163 (talk) 01:41, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't understand how you are restarting the ref numbers in each section.  And not displaying the text refernce, but just an external link.  Have not seen this on other articles.  Think this is not normal wiki format.  72.82.57.163 (talk) 02:19, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

text: In light of the controversial life and death of Journolist, I think this section ought to be turned into a separate WP article. The role that it played in the David Weigel affair, the questions it raised about a "secret" confab between "liberal" journalists, and so forth, make it notable on its own. If anybody wishes to make a good start on such a page, I will try to plug in some additional information that has come to light in the last week or so from major print media and the blogosphere. One thing that has leaked out imperfectly is the names of many of the participants.  A handful are mentioned in the Ezra Klein bio but several other names have come to light via their own admission in recent days.~Mack2~ (talk) 16:59, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That might be overkill, it's a mere email list. If it's relevant to a person the necessary info can be included in his/her article. Hekerui (talk) 17:05, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree. At this point I don't think there's enough material to even create a full article. As far as I know right now there's the Calderone article from a year ago, a bunch of blog posts, and maybe a few news article that offer additional details. My suggestion would be to update and polish this section, and leave it here for now.Lord of the Ping (talk) 18:09, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: JournoList

message: The Daily Caller has published exchanges on JournoList regarding the shaping of press coverage over the relationship between Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright which reveals the names of many more JournoList members, including Richard Kim, Spencer Ackerman, Michael Tomasky, Thomas Schaller, Jonathan Stein, Jared Bernstein, Holly Yeager, Joe Conason, David Greenberg, David Roberts, Todd Gitlin, Chris Hayes, Katha Pollitt, Mark Schmitt, and Kevin Drum. Also, writing on his blog FiveThirtyEight, Nate Silver identified himself as a former Journolist member on June 27 and again on July 21.~Mack2~ (talk) 14:07, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: A separate article would probably be a good idea since the Weigel stuff is what's most important and it's awkward to cover that in this article.Prezbo (talk) 16:20, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

text: More members outed by The New Republic - Rich Yeselson and Ed Kilgore. Kelly hi! 03:12, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: And another expose from The Daily Caller - this time with members wishing for the death of Rush Limbaugh and hoping to shut down Fox News. Kelly hi! 05:01, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Kelly: I'm wondering if there is getting to be enough material, including the David Weigel stuff, to split "JournoList" off into its own article. Yeah, I think we're there. If that section gets much bigger it might be criticized for WP:WEIGHT, and yet important material just keeps being reported. Two promising areas of expansion are a "Reaction" section and a list of members. With 400 members and names dribbling out all the time, a list might make it's own article after a while. The list could be a table with that feature that could order by name or workplace. -- JohnWBarber (talk) 19:15, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: What the heck, I'll create it: JournoList. There. -- JohnWBarber (talk) 19:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hello! On behalf of Vox Media, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I'd like to propose some corrections and updates to this Wikipedia article for community review. There are 5 parts to this request, which should not take long to review, but I'm happy to address them one at a time if editors prefer. Following are the suggested edits:
1. Currently, the last sentence of the introduction reads: "In January 2014, Klein left The Washington Post, and now works for Vox Media as editor-at-large for their news website, Vox." The lead fails to communicate that Klein actually co-founded the website, which greatly contributes to his notability. I propose extending the sentence to properly credit him and his colleagues by changing the sentence to ""
2. Secondly, I'd like to identify an error. The "Career" section says, "" This is factually inaccurate because Vox Media was already in existence, and Ezra Klein, Melissa Bell, and Matthew Yglesias decided to partner with the company to launch the website. I propose replacing with the following text: ""
3. The New York Times has said Klein's interview of President Barack Obama in 2015 signified acceptance of digital news organizations like Vox and BuzzFeed News. I propose the following addition to the "Career" section: "" or similar. Following is markup for the New York Times source:
:*
4. I'd like to propose an update to the end of the "Career" section, which currently reads: "In October 2015, Klein, along with Sarah Kliff and Matt Yglesias, launched The Weeds, a Vox podcast of detailed discussions on public policy." I propose adding mention of another (self-titled) podcast he hosts, as well as credit for serving as executive producer of Netflix series Explained: "" Other sources could be used to verify the claims, but if The Atlantic and NBC News are suitable, here's citation markup:
:*
:*
5. Finally, I propose correcting the "Personal life" section, which currently says, "" This is no longer accurate. Lowrey now writes for The Atlantic, and has also worked for Slate and the Washington Independent, among other publications. I propose either describing her using her current role ("", per the introduction of her Wikipedia article) or using more general wording ("); either way, an update is required.
My goal is to fix a couple errors and update the article a bit. I do not edit the main space directly, given my COI, and I'm seeking assistance from volunteer editors to review and implement these corrections and updates appropriately. Are any page watchers willing to take a look? I'm happy to address questions or concerns here or on my talk page. Thank you for any help in advance. Inkian Jason (talk) 19:33, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello, thank you for respecting the WP:COI process. I incorporated feedback points 1,2,4 and 5, with some minor tweaks. Section three is interesting for Vox page, though I do understand Klein is an integral part of Vox. Shushugah (talk) 21:42, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Improvements for consideration

message: Another editor removed the "Personal life" section altogether. However, there are sources confirming Ezra Klein and Annie Lowrey are married, such as this one and this one. Do you mind updating the article appropriately? Perhaps the following:
==Personal life==
Klein is married to Annie Lowrey, an economic policy reporter at The Atlantic.
