Talk:Mayoralty of Michael Bloomberg

Approval Ratings?

Should we not add numbers on his approval rating...consistently of 70%? I found some sources here:

• August 29, 2007 - Effective, Cold - That's What We Like, Dislike About Mayor, New Yorkers Tell Quinnipiac University Poll; Bloomberg's Approval Tops 70 Percent - Again
• NY1 Poll Shows Bloomberg Has High City Approval Ratings 10/18/2008

This information has been removed several times, and I don't understand why. It's a reliably sourced account presented neutrally of a controversy about Bloomberg. Sugar-Baby-Love (talk) 23:41, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

he's going to go down as the most despotic mayor in history, and no mention of OWS? Something is not right at Wikimedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.48.122.52 (talk) 20:20, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Bullpen vs trading floor

Having briefly worked in City Hall during Mike Bloomberg’s time, I don't think a trading floor is the best simile (since it suggests he was a floor trader more than the creator of financial information and journalism systems). It was like many other workplaces except for having no corner offices or cubicles. His own desk was only distinguished by having two screens. Certainly the atmosphere was one of a quiet workplace, people seriously getting things done. Davert (talk) 20:22, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
