Talk:Jim Ward (Kansas politician)

Removal of picayune material
I removed info about a lawsuit filed against Ward by his ex-wife for non-payment of about $4,300 she alleged she was owed in their divorce. This is so trivial as to stagger the imagination, and no result of the 18-month-old action is mentioned. An IP editor had also removed it recently, only to have the original editor quickly restore it. Contrast that for context with the Donald J. Trump article in which it is mentioned the president has been in involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits, only a few of which rate mention, such as the $25 million settlement (contested by some litigants who opted out of the class) for the bogus "Trump University," which he said he would never pay (until he did, shortly after the election}. Trump also said he won most of those lawsuits, a contention also determined to be a fabrication. The inclusion of this minor divorce issue in this article, given that context, seems like a violation of a BLP, purely inconsequential results of peculiar opp research. One is reminded of Aesop's fable, "The mountain groaned and brought forth a mouse." Activist (talk) 20:12, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
