message: The material that an anonymous user added to this and the Mandy Rice-Davies articles is not, of course, lost for ever, but exists in earlier versions of the page.  I have removed it because it was POV and written in a --shall we say, unsuitable? -- style.  However, it may contain some useful information, if anyone wants to go back and weed it out.

Trial and instructions. A defendant may give instructions to counsel during the jury's deliberations, if the jury returns to ask the judge a question.
Full details of the legal "irregularities" are in Geoffrey Robertson "Stephen Ward was innocent, OK?"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.74.151 (talk) 13:46, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Dead links

message: This site says Ward was linked to Ellis. How about we mention it? Malick78 (talk) 14:20, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Ruth Ellis]] link

message: "He was educated at Highgate School in London and qualified to practice as an osteopath in Missouri." I.e., in the USA (and for that matter in a state not, as far as I know, noted for its close ties to England.) Can anyone clarify the details of his training/"qualification"/certification/licensing/whatever as an osteopath? (Cite, please.) -- 201.37.230.43 (talk) 06:38, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

message: "It is claimed that Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in the UK (in 1955), was being run by Stephen Ward ..." Sorry, what does "being run by" mean? Can this please be rephrased to be more comprehensible? -- 201.37.230.43 (talk) 06:43, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: "being run by"??

message: While he was in Brixton Prison, Ward smuggled out some brief memoirs that he never lived to complete. If these are obtainable, it might be good to provide the link. 81.129.67.104 (talk) 18:17, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  His own memoirs 

message: At the time of my posting this comment there are no references for this section. They smack of conspiracy theory but if they are true they then lack the credibility of any source. Given that it is a highly sensitive matter both politically and personally for any relatives of Ward who may have read it, the article needs some sort of qualifying staement at its commencement.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.74.145.23 (talk) 07:10, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Alternative theories over death 

message: I have moved the following from the article until it can be improved:
: As is often the case, there is a story behind this story—it being the framing of Stephen Ward through a combination of police and judicial corruption. Many of those who  were involved with the trial looked on it as a depressing revelation of the death of the traditional high standards of fair-play for which British justice had been known.  Source: An Affair of State, Phillip Knightley and Caroline Kennedy. Atheneum, New York, 1987.
As a potential BLP violation (OK, he's dead, but we need to be accurate), this needs to be cited very precisely, including exact quotes and page numbers from the claimed source. When this is done, it can be restored. -- Filmfluff (talk) 06:09, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "As is often the case..." 

message: I own 4 Wards, all purchased at the "Private auction" days before his death. I am looking to find someone who might be an "expert" that can help me identify an"unidentified young man" in one of them. I know he is of importance because his name was cut out of one of the corners. Personally, I believe he's either Royal, or possibly a lesser nobility, but because of his importance socially or within the Royal Family, his name was "erased" and "Unidentified Young Man"  was put on the lot identifier. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

thread_title:  Owner of 4 Stephen Wards 

message: In Christine Keeler's book 'Secrets and Lies' (which is listed in the article on her as a source) she says very explicitly that Ward :
1. Was a spy who was actively searching for secrets about nuclear warheads to pass to the Russians (page 82).
2. Tried to murder Christine Keeler during a motorboat escapade (page 91).
My questions are : Is Keeler's book a reliable source? If so, why are these shocking revelations about Ward not in the article?
A consensus about adding this information is needed, I think.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.94.252.170 (talk) 19:24, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Spying and attempted murder

message: Four of Ward's works were featured in edition 10 of Series 43 of BBC One's Antiques Roadshow in March 2021:  (from about 41:30). The sketches were of John Profumo, his wife Valerie Hobson, Yevgeny Ivanov, Mandy Rice-Davies and Christine Keeler. Expert Rupert Maas valued the group at £2,000 - £3,000. Ward was described by Maas as being "no mean artist".Martinevans123 (talk) 21:40, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
