Talk:Jeri Ryan

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

I removed the following:

In 2004, Jack was a Republican candidate for US Senator from Illinois. He withdrew from the race when their divorce papers were made public, despite both of their efforts to keep them sealed in order to protect their son. The election was eventually won by Barack Obama.

As pointed out by Morder on IRC, this is not relevant to Jeri Ryan herself. --From Andoria with Love 20:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

It discusses an action by Jeri Ryan. I'm not sure this needs to be in the article, but it is relevant to her, herself, by the info in the second sentence. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 21:20, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

His withdrawal from the race is not relevant to her even if it was done to protect her son because the statement is about the race and not her family. What's stated in the article is what is all that's needed. — Morder 21:32, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

The way the removed note is written, it discusses an action on the part of Jeri Ryan to keep the papers sealed. That makes it about more than just her husband and son, it makes it about her. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 21:42, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

However, the paragraph is about Jack Ryan, not Jeri Ryan. It involves divorce papers sealed by both, but the paragraph dealt with Ryan's senatorial race, not anything to do with Jeri herself. That's just how I viewed it. --From Andoria with Love 22:53, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Again, by describing her actions in her divorce, it becomes about her as well. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 23:27, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

"On June 15th, 1991 she married Jack Ryan, a politician from Illinois, with whom she had a son, Alex, in 1994. They divorced in 1999."

Given the real-world consequences of the revelation of the divorce proceedings, that's like if the Kirk page merely said "James T. Kirk had a son, David, born to Carol Marcus in 2261. He was murdered by Klingons in 2285."--Ten-pint 22:46, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

The sentence seems OK to me, as that does have to do with Jeri Ryan, but President Obama is totally irrelevant to it.--31dot 22:49, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
