Talk:Marshall Sylver

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, Jonny_sicoli here. I'm at one of this guy's performances in the Omni Orlando Hotel. I'm trying to research Marshall Silver, and the info on this page isn't as detailed as I would have hoped it was. Am I the only Wikipedian who's seen him? P.S. The wiki on him seems slightly biased. Cleanup please? Jonny sicoli 00:11, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Louis Theroux did a expose on him in his 'Wild Weekends' series which you can buy on DVD. Buy it and see what the real Marshall Sylver is like...

Please, someone stop this Marshall idiot from turning this entry into an advert! -- 128.239.147.207

[edit] Page is currently being vandalized

An anon IP (most likely also ProFromDover) is currently blanking the page and replacing it with PR.

Admittedly, there needs to be some more sourced info on Sylver's life and career, not just his criminal activity. But Sylver's jail sentence for counterfeiting, his indictment on nine counts of fraud, and the lawsuit The Venetian filed against him for not paying his gambling debts -- all of which are properly sourced -- need to be included as well. For precedent on this, see the well documented legal info on the Kevin Trudeau page.

The tone of the PR being placed on the page makes one wonder if Sylver himself is doing the vandalism. --Eleemosynary 07:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anon blanking/vandalism/reverts coming from Las Vegas

According to geobytes.com, the anon IP address 68.227.9.156 [1] that was blocked last night for revert warring and blanking vandalism is resolving to Las Vegas, which is also where Sylver and his associates work. --Eleemosynary 10:34, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Statement by Misterblack42 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log)

The only vandalism going on here is by an obvious ex-customer with an grief against Marshall who is posting NOTHING but negative posts and is removing any and all neutral information on him. This is OBVIOUSLY one person wishing to air their grievances against Marshall in a public forum. -- Misterblack42 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log)

Nope, never a customer. I saw the Theroux documentary on him, though. And I wasn't surprised to see a Vegas IP try to whitewash this page. (Btw, I haven't removed any "neutral" info on Sylver, though I have toned down the PR coming from Vegas.) Everything I have added to the page about Sylver's extensive criminal history has been appropriately sourced. Enjoy your RFCU. --Eleemosynary 02:38, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
