Talk:Orlando Anderson

message: I believe the article should either remove all parts that are unclear (with the citations needed),
or clarified - or it should be deleted. As it stands now, it is total speculation, which should never be 
part of a wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.103.172 (talk) 20:20, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I've cleaned up the article considerably removing links to the fan sites and instead linking to news archives or abstracts of newspaper stories. I have to say finding sources is easy, but trusting them is not. MTV, the Associated Press and others report two and three different versions of even the simplest of events or turns in the case. Sometimes it was best to read multiple sources or read stories much later in the timeline to try and understand who had their original reporting right. I must admit that I am becoming biased against the Sun reporter Cathy Scott. Her writings are all over the place and it seems she has based her career, somewhat, to covering this story - I'm suspect of a few details that she gives in a few of her articles. 
Also it is hard to find sources now of information that for some people, because the whole event was so big, is common knowledge. Not that some of these items aren't true, but digging into the news accounts is difficult because of the time in which it happened, the web was just getting traction and newspapers were not putting all of their articles online. Wire reports are likely best because the events that made Mr. Anderson infamous are subject to so much speculation. The longer the article, the more speculation, if it is a book... don't even quote it here I'd suggest.

replies: text: Also the problem with Cathy Scott's reporting in regards to Mr. Anderson in particular is that she is not from Compton and instead from Las Vegas. She reported incorrect information on Anderson's street name, where he was from and other things. Reporting on Anderson is best when it comes from LA reports it seems. (Wow, did the entire city of Las Vegas drop the ball on this event or what :)   ?)JoeHenzi (talk) 09:14, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Although someone added that Cathy Scott's theory implicates Orlando Anderson, it is not clear to me that this is correct.  In her 2002 book on Pac, she reviews various theories of his murder including the Suge Knight/Death row theory before finally stating "Years after the primary investigations, it's still anyone's guess. No one was ever arrested but no one was ever ruled out as a suspect, either." She then concludes oddly enough that one theory "transcends all the others, and implicates the white-record-comany power brokers themselves." implicating the bosses of the Suge Knight label. The reference to her book in context doesn't make senseScholarlyarticles (talk) 20:51, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

message: This assertion needs a citation: "he was a conscientious student who passed his exams and received good grades" -- seems like his mother or someone put this in here to make him look good.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.36.69.90 (talk) 19:46, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
