[edit] Anne Stone

I have removed the following section per WP:LIVING policy:

However, it later became controversial when writer and editor Anne Stone alleged that she had ghostwritten most of the book.

The statement may be true, but it is unreferenced, and further I have some reason to believe (but no independet verification) that the claim may have been subsequently retrracted after legal action. It would certainly be permissable for the whole affair to be recorded in this article, if anyone wishes to research it and provide a ballanced account with appropriate references.--Doc 13:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

The statement and its controversy are both very germane to why the book and the author are famous in the first place; you'll kindly note the very real difference in meaning between "alleged" (the word that's there) and "revealed" (the word that would constitute a real violation of WP:LIVING). I simply don't see how the sentence actually presents a problem as written, but I'll see what, if anything, I can do about improving it nonetheless. Bearcat 06:19, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
