Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

The following material you inserted has been removed from the article on Walter Anderson (tax evader)


 * It is reported recently that he is devising a scam where he pretends to write and "direct" self proclaimed indie "movies." There are then fake audition posts. The first one reported was for "Secret Sisterhood 3," the supposed sequel to "Sistahood 2." The latest reported scam is for a film titled "The Stop 6 Project."

The citation you provided does not appear to mention that the subject is devising a "scam" regarding self proclaimed "indie movies" at all. Indeed, the source material was written over five years ago - so that's probably not a "recent report." Wikipedia has a strict rule about the insertion of potentially defamatory material into an article about a living person. Also, we as Wikipedia editors cannot use a Wikipedia article to claim that a person is "devising a scam". Instead, please look for a reliable, previously published third party source for any material you post in an article, especially in an article that refers to a living person.

Hey Famspear Thanks for the help, I now better understand the regulations. That '5 year old link' is not the one I left. Unfortunately, my sources (multiple accounts) have since been removed from their former websites (only the cached version remains). Seeing as how there are no longer any 3rd party sources, I can see why I need to wait to re-post the info. Furthermore, since this fraudulent Walter "Big Walt" Anderson persona is not a director of notoriety, and there is no official information aside from his personal website, I can understand why no new post may be made about him. This reasoning falls behind any possible separate "Sisterhood 3" and "Stop 6 Project" posts as well. Thanks again for the help! Filmeye
