Information is being added, reasonably well-sourced to a Providence, RI newspaper, about the ex-wife of Sinclair. The two edits are here and here. Since they were divorced in 2005, the marriage lasting only a little more than a year, it is unclear how much relevance to his biography this information has. --Jimbo Wales (talk) 20:41, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There has been a bit of an edit war over this section, with several (including me) arguing that this incident has too little to do with Lord Sinclair to be mentioned here. As there has been an edit war, I think it worth discussing here. This is a BLP issue since the inclusion of this would seem to reflect negatively on the subject. Therefore, caution is warranted.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 09:52, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
