[edit] Tip of the Iceberg
This article is only the tip of the Pellicano iceberg which I wrote quickly this morning. When the expected indictments come down in the wiretapping investigation, he'll be back in the media eye again. Someone with a lot of time might want to do more digging around and add details to this profile. David Hoag 18:57, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- Given Pellicano's re-arrest last Friday and his arraignment tomorrow, I've added more details. This may mushroom into more of a story, so I added the "current events" tag. David Hoag 04:00, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] DOB (Date Of Birth)
This was the date of birth as published on June 17, 2005 on the District Attorney of Los Angeles' website.
You'll need to type something like "Pellicano" in the small "Search for:" textarea, and then click "Submit", to get the full article, which also includes the dob for: Frederick Proctor.

[edit] Anita Busch Was w/ LA Times
Many hands are now contributing to this article, which is good, but some inaccuracies have crept into it. Anita Busch was working for the Los Angeles Times during the death threat incident. It's in the lede para of the articles about her attorneys subpoening Mike Ovitz. Perhaps the contributor was confusing her with Bernie Weintraub, of the New York Times, who was allegedly wiretapped by Pellicano & company.
I also pulled back somewhat the discussion about the venue battle. That hasn't played out yet, and it's important to remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It should provide an overview of the person. It's not a news reportage about the person, albeit constant updates will occur. David Hoag 08:36, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- Once again, someone has changed the copy to state that Busch was writing for the New York Times when the fish and rose incident occured. That is not correct. I quote from the FBI affidavit[1]: "Busch was working as a contract employee for the Los Angeles Times." David Hoag 20:02, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
- Also, Busch was not writing about Michael Ovitz when she was allegedly threatened. She was writing about Steven Seagal and Julius Nasso. That's detailed in the affidavit, which I linked above. David Hoag 20:10, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This is a current event
Pellicano is now in the national news nearly every day. He has been the subject of articles in major news magazines like Time and Newsweek for the past five weeks. The US Attorney has announced more indictments are coming this month. So this is clearly a current event and the article is likely to change further within the short term. I returned the "current" tag to the article. CaptainCarrot 19:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- It was removed again and I put it back again. The measure of a "current event" is not how recently the Wiki article was updated, but whether the story is in the news. (Thus it is a cavaet to readers of the article that the piece may not be the most current information.) The New York Times alone has had eight front-page stories on Pellicano in the past month; the Los Angeles Times has had seven front-page stories on Pellicano in the past month. Both papers have had front-page stories on Pellicano in the past week. The story continues to evolve, so the current tag is appropriate. 207.69.137.203 21:27, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vanity Fair article
The new Vanity Fair article [2] is absolutely astounding. It would be great if some aficionados could read it carefully and update this article extensively. Phr (talk) 23:38, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
