Svidersky is mentioned on page 54 in the book Totally Wired: What Teens and Tweens Are Really Doing Online (published 2007). Amazon.com has look inside, but that page is not available. A pop up snippet mentions the report of her death in the New York Times. Ty 15:23, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, randomly checked in to find the identifying photo deleted because... well, I'm not sure exactly. My guess is that the primary cause is processitis of image policy.

There's a substantial history of similar editorial claims of fair use of copyrighted photographs of deceased persons of interest, both here at Wikipedia and in journalism elsewhere. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 14:19, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why would this person be notable enough to be on Wikipedia? Granted it is unfortunate that this happened, but to be fair, we would then need to include everyone who has been murdered in any establishment in the world. Sweet Pea 1981 (talk) 15:24, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article was rated C-class, for lack of Coverage. This is a pretty good article as far as the "Aftermath", but the description of the murder is unclear. Sullivan stabbed Svidersky with a "kitchen knife". Where did he get the knife from? Did he just leap across the counter at Svidersky? Stabbed her once? Did she die instantly or later? The article is more about the MySpace phenomenon than the crime.Boneyard90 (talk) 15:40, 20 May 2012 (UTC) I accidentally visited the McDonalds in question, less than 20 hours after this occurred. All I can say about that, everyone inside looked hollow, angry, and as if they were all collectively about to cry, this was truly chilling. Initial local reports noted, Thu Apr 20, 2006 just after 8PM, Anna was on a "break", "sitting" in the lobby, "drinking" coffee or hot chocolate. She had been, moments before the attack, "talking" with a friend whom walked out the same door Sullivan entered, which I believe the friend held the door open for him. Sullivan walked straight to Anna, whom had her "back" to him, and he, simply put, stabbed her. Anna jumped up, screamed, "trampled" over the static table and the 4.5 foot condiment divider, which separates the ordering counter from the seating area, landing on the floor in "front" of the ordering counter. Her friend, whom she had just spoken with, realized something was going on, started to re-enter the same door, though Sullivan, simply walked out of it as if nothing happened and left the scene, he was quickly followed by people in and around the restaurant. All of this occurred in about "30 seconds or less". It was reported, Anna died at the McDonalds, in the spot where she landed, given death must be recorded by a doctor, and she was reported DOA at Emanuel Legacy Hospital in Portland OR off 60th ave., sometime after 9PM. After the attack, Sullivan walked with an increasing pace and stumbled a couple of blocks. Upon seeing the police, he calmly placed the knife behind a public road sign and continued to walk. Police with at least one dog, stopped and arrested Sullivan, then checked where Sullivan reached behind the sign, finding the knife, which was reported as an 8 inch kitchen knife, nondescript. Sullivan was living with his mother at the time and the knife was from their respective kitchen. I am writing this, because I had just left Dick Hannas, which is just up the road, and the night before I had partially read an article about a girl being stabbed in a McDonalds in Vancouver. I didn't pay too much mind to this, until I tragically realized I was in the restaurant where this occurred, much worse, after the food order was placed. Horrified and out of respect, I left as quickly as possible. I will never forget this encounter and cannot believe the restaurant was open the next day. Once I got home, I read ((all)) of the initial coverage, which collectively stated the above, though has been lost over time. I'm unconcerned with grammar at this moment and I am somewhat writing in haste. Feel free to paraphrase and clean this up, if it is helpful. I wanted to share this, given the current reports are vastly incorrect, and this has bothered me over the years. I will check back here periodically, in case more questions come up. If you would like further correspondence, please leave your contact info requesting more info from "lasing", given the traffic on this subject, I'm not looking for any type of unwarranted attention. I just want to pass along any info, which may be helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.43.15.210 (talk) 20:38, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the citation that refers to Stephen Coleman. Mr. Coleman contacted OTRS to challenge the claim that he made those comments about the subject of the article. As it was given as an offline source, and I cannot find a backing secondary one (every search combination I tried returns mirrors of this article), we should keep it off until it can be verified independently of the original citation. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 18:11, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
