Please remove Women's Rights section of Ben Cline

As I indicated on your Talk page, the section on Ben Cline's page "Women's rights" was removed because it is disproportionately long and focuses entirely on legislation from the 2012 General Assembly session that Delegate Ben Cline did not chief patron. It is inconsistent with the rest of his page that focuses solely on legislation that Cline has chief patroned throughout his 6 terms in office, projecting a focus that is not big-picture and is, as a result, one-sided. Any legislation that Cline chief patroned that is relevant to the other existing categories would be relevant to the page, however, an entire section devoted to an area that he does not specialize in, unlike criminal prosecution and Interstate 81 issues, is not justified.

You should provide this rationale at the article's talk page so others interested in that article can join the discussion. For what it's worth, I agree that the section seems overly long, but wholesale removal also doesn't seem appropriate. After all, it's the lone subsection on his legislative career that shows some news coverage. Huon (talk) 02:27, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
