Lerer Hippeau additions
[edit]![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. |
Hi editors, I'm Robin, here on behalf of Lerer Hippeau as part of my work with Beutler Ink.
My request is to add a subsection about Lerer Hippeau in the article that looks something like what is in the collapse box below. I think the company has had some decent coverage but likely not enough to qualify for its own article, so it seems like this article would be a good place to include that coverage in the interim. Please let me know what you think. Cheers, BINK Robin (talk) 17:44, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Not done: it's appropriate to include his work at Lerer Hippeau, but this is just a profile of the company grafted onto a biographical article of one of several related people. If you have further content on Hippeau's work at the company, I'd be happy to add it, but just because it doesn't have its own article doesn't mean it belongs here.

- Understood, I didn't see much about his involvement other than what's already in the article. Thanks for reviewing! BINK Robin (talk) 19:35, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
