Talk:Maria Miller

message: I couldn't find any evidence that Maria Miller 'refused' to meet with protesters. According to Channel 4 News she failed to appear. According to Sense she declined an invitation to speak. I think the wording of this could be more neutral. Channel 4 News does say that she was criticised for this decision, so I think that that could be mentioned without creating bias. 86.158.80.242 (talk) 16:12, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Refusing to meet with the protesters 

message: Constant attempts by users to inject bias and non-neutral language and statements into wiki page - for political purposes, one can only assume. Distortions created by presuming Maria Miller voted specifically against "equality" issues, when in fact she voted against entire bills as did large numbers of politicians from all sides of the aisle for a wide range of reasons. Also the morally non-neutral claim that voting against a perceived, any given, "LGBT" issue is actually anti-equality. That is a matter of moral and ethical perspective, not an objective claim. Wikipedia should not contain such sleight-of-hands.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MKPoosh (talk • contribs) 18:33, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

text: Political purposes being personal political not that of a party. Clear attempts of vandalism which I assume are logged in the history section. Loaded language that is clearly not neutral such as the presumption that the opinions of the LGBT are the same as equality. Loaded langauge placing negativity on the "right wing" of the Conservative Party. Wikipedia is not a platform for opinion or attempts to slant perception or ethics.

replies: text: I added the text about Miller's voting record on LGBT rights and her statement on same-sex marriage. This is a notable issue. I now ask again: are you accusing me of 'political purposes', and if so what is your evidence? Where is the vandalism; what loaded language are you specifically referring to; where are the issues of neutrality; who has said anything about the "right-wing" of the Conservative party; where is the slant on ethics? In summary - what are you going on about? Contaldo80 (talk) 09:35, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Failure to meet neutral standards 

message: Miller was quoted in today's Guardian as being in support of a reduction in the 24 week time limit for abortions to 20 weeks ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/oct/03/abortion-limit-reduction-maria-miller). This despite the overwhelming failure of Nadine Dorries' related bill last year. A section should be added to cover this topic, along with  some mention of lobbying by  Pro-Life groups in her constituency.212.139.110.68 (talk) 00:31, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 8 April 2014 

message: Maria Miller has stepped down from being David Cameron's Culture Secretary, I think I have changed one location but not another as I don't know where in the source it is as it is not obvious. Can someone do it for me please? Wetter88 (talk) 08:06, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Standing down of Miller from post of Culture Secretary 

message: The article states that Maria Miller was elected to Parliament in 2005. In the section on her reasons for resigning it states that:
"Asked, in 2009, to sign a declaration acknowledging she would now be liable, Miller declined and chose instead to simply stop claiming expenses for the second home in Wimbledon, having done so since she bought the house fifteen years previously"
If in 2009 she had had only been an MP for four years how could she have been claiming expenses for it for the preceding 15 years?
Can someone correct one or other of these assertions (or perhaps delete the whole thing until an authoritative version can be established?)

It would seem sensible to base discussion on this primary source not press reports.
The crucial difference between the £45,000 that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards recommended that MM repay, and the £5,800 that MM offered to pay and the Committee of MPs agreed to is clear from this report. The Committee agreed that on a strict interpretation of the rules the Parliamentary Commissioner for 
Standards was right, but "Whatever the strict construction of the rule, it was reasonable for Mrs Miller to claim the interest on her mortgage as it was when she entered the House, rather than as it was when she first purchased the property"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.191.151 (talk) 19:14, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I've simplified what's said about Miller's links with other constituencies.  There are puzzles - how did the link with Wimbledon arise?; and re Wolverhampton North East the term "Patron" was used originally (without source), then altered later (citing Who's Who) to "chair" - and I've no access past the Who's Who paywall for authoritative details.  But anyway    the w3 there gives someone else as chair (and makes no mention of a Patron).  It seems tht as regards both constituencies it's all a while ago anyway so the missing detail is unneeded.
If anyone thinks differently, knows more and has sources, obviously goferit.
