Sloppy use of quotes

This article uses far too many quotes. Many of them are unsourced. Sometimes even entire paragraphs are quotes lifted from news articles. I even fixed one quote that was a false attribution. Fortune magazine had written about Roubini, but in this article Fortune's words were attributed to Roubini himself. This article also often uses present tense for quotes that were made in the past, e.g. "Roubini says..." rather than "Roubini said...". Please keep in mind that this is an encyclopedia, not a news article. Go easy on the quotes and make sure that the few quotes you do use are referenced. --JHP (talk) 01:10, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If one watches TV, one might get the impression that Roubini is one of the most prominent economists of our age. In the acedmic world, his impact is thus far rather moderate, as he is ranked 410 amongst economists they track for citation impact. Is this material pertinent enough for the lead?
