Need more in Herb's biography section, no details on year born, place born, family background, or anything non-career wise other than college degree and current hometown. Anyone got more sourced info? Piperdown 01:23, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SEC subpoena

I've given that the more neutral section heading "SEC subpoena." The SEC subpoena section comprises half of this bio. While important, and I won't cut it back for the moment, I am concerned that it might be undue weight in the bio of a living person, particularly since the subpoenas were never enforced and are now moot.--Mantanmoreland 23:12, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

makes sense, other than the CNBC bio and Marketwatch blog, it's the only "notable" mention from a RS so far I've found. Too bad his SF Chronicle work predates the web. Also if some of his commentary on notable business scandals could be included, at least ones that he might have been instrumental in bringing to light (I think there were a couple in the late 90s-early 00s. Piperdown 23:17, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion on further editing: removing all mention to Gradient analytics in the text, and the reference link. Since Herb wasn't the target, that the target was cleared isn't necessary to Greenberg's story. That the subpoenas were retracted/not enforced/whatever is the relevant detail in regards to Greenberg (and the SEC comments on them already included). If Greenberg's mentioned in the added reference about Gradient, then keep it and use anything it details about Herb. Just some thoughts. Piperdown 23:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, I think you really have to name the target, and once you do that you have to say that it was cleared. That also is necessary to indicate that the subpoena is moot and not just on hold. That is why I didn't cut the section, as it really requires that detail. Right now the section is balanced and fair, just a bit long. Since this is a notable journalist, it should not be hard to flesh out other aspects of his life. I did remove a long sentence in the middle, on precisely what was subpoenaed, as that did not seem necessary. --Mantanmoreland 14:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes

I made the recent changes to this page because the page, which is about me, was incorrect and incomplete. Some of the format I used may not be in line with Wiki style; perhaps someone more seasoned can help with that. The page previously focused on the SEC subpoena.

This article should also address Greenberg's connections to short selling hedge funds. There is a reason he has called out so many companies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.41.79.54 (talk) 23:54, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite needed

Hi, the page was not very organized so I tried to do a major reorg, but there's a lot of missing info and a lot still needs rewriting. Adding tags. Likeanechointheforest (talk) 23:55, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
