Anna was angry at the Mets even though her opinions had no effect on decision-making for the team.... (i've seen PLENTY of fans get angry at the management of their favorite team. doesn't mean they have an effect on the decision-making)

She is a criticism magnet, it would seem, and there are certainly some catty remarks on this page. Feel free to do some editing. Wahkeenah 01:15, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"known for her large breasts"?! yes, but necessary? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mauimattipus (talk • contribs) 04:23, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dang! Wish I worked for the Mets! I'd love to Gitelmesomeofdat! (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 06:08, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of arrest in 1996[edit]

I notice that one editor has twice reverted mention of Anna Benson's 1996 arrest in connection with another man's death. Given that the arrest followed a national manhunt and Benson (née Warren) being featured on an episode of "America's Most Wanted" the incident clearly appears to merit inclusion in her bio. As BLP makes clear we simply need to note that the ultimate resolution of the charges. The exception to this is for "people who are relatively unknown" aside from such charges, not applicable to Benson, an absolutely public figure. Thoughts?

FWIW, I agree with you. Dismas|^(talk) 01:33, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Whoever keeps deleting her being arrested for murder is obviously being bias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JokeKah (talk • contribs) 00:45, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell it was only added, and reverted, twice over two days almost five months ago. The first attempt was inappropriately written; it was the last in a spate of inappropriate edits; and it was accompanied by even more inappropriate edit summaries. The second attempt to add it included no citations, which raises WP:BLP issues. In neither case did anyone post to the talk pages of the reverters asking them about it. So I think the reverts were justified event though the information belongs in the article if properly written. I think the solution would be to repost it with an appropriate citation like this from USA Today and include that the murder charge was dropped and that the accessory charges were dismissed. -- Pemilligan (talk) 19:20, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Prison time?[edit]

No mention she spent 4 months in prison due to the threats, weapons, etc at Kris' house? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.116.182 (talk) 04:11, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to add it with a relevant citation. -- Pemilligan (talk) 20:17, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Filmography (edit heading name)[edit]

The exploits of a reality star on television do not constitute the term “Filmography”. It would be better suited to edit the heading of that section to “Television Appearances”. Filmography should be a term limited to those who are actors and play a character other than themselves. In a one example, that typifies the other entries, she exploits the fame of her husband, her own mental illness, and troubles with law enforcement to appear on Dr. Phil begging for help. This does NOT denote any kind of Filmography, simply Television Appearances or perhaps, being generous, Notable Television Appearances.

Go ahead. What's stopping you? -- Pemilligan (talk) 22:13, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
