The exact change
Blockquote, in quotation marks, presented as if directly quoting Cal Newport's "So Good They Can't Ignore You," while the attribution line itself said "paraphrasing" underneath it - quoted but admittedly not a quotation.
Removed the quotation-mark framing and the false-direct-quote presentation; converted to attributed-in-spirit prose with an explicit caveat that it is a paraphrase, not a direct quotation from the book.
Why this is better
The article contradicted itself: text was set inside quotation marks as if directly quoted from Cal Newport, but the attribution line beneath it said "paraphrasing." A quote cannot simultaneously be quoted and admittedly not quoted. Fixed by removing the quotation-mark framing.
How this record is verified
- The contribution is tied to a real, identified contributor, not an anonymous byline.
- It counts only because the publisher, When Notes Fly, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
- It is recorded against a specific page and cannot be bought or edited after the fact.
