Thanks for the politician infobox, it sure looks nice.  PEACETalkAbout 07:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You are most welcome!  And thank you for the acknowledgement!  It is not often on Wikipedia that I get compliments on any of my work, more often I just get berated.  Nice to know some of the things I do around here are appreciated.  Yours, Smeelgova 07:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Expansion 

message: I was told she survived the Jonestown massacre and I would be able to find info on her page. Was she a follower of Jim Jones or not?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.227.218.23 (talk) 23:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Jonestown? 

message: Simply saying in an edit summary that a Google search brings up such and such results is not satisfactory.  Please provide a WP:V/WP:RS secondary source as a cite, or else we cannot allow Original Research in a WP:BLP.  Cirt (talk) 11:38, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: References added, although the SF Chronicle story already cited included the bit about Jacqueline.  Factual information should be referenced, not removed.  The cite for the full name is in what is now note 5, since I did not want to put it right after her name in the lead.  Candidates in California races are frequently listed on the ballot with their full name, rather than nicknames.  I don't know what the "K." stands for.  It's peculiar that you demand a cite for a full name that shows up in numerous reliable sources and is not controversial, while much of the detailed substance of the article is without sources of any kind, unless they are in the external links.  BTW, unless you and Jimbo are pals, saying "or else we cannot allow" seems a little overbearing.--Hjal (talk) 17:44, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, "we" simply refers to policy on this project.  And in a Biography of a Living Person, it is quite appropriate to remove uncited, violations of WP:OR, first, and then cite and add it back only if it is cited to WP:RS/WP:V secondary sources.  As the "K" is still uncited, I will remove that.  Cirt (talk) 18:24, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The San Francisco Chronicle doesn't even refer to "K" and as far as the "Jacqueline" - that seems from that article to only be her confirmation name - do you have other WP:RS/WP:V secondary sources that show this to be used enough for it to be the first bolded appearance?  I think it's best to go just with "Jackie Speier", and then describe the alternate name later in paragraph format.  Cirt (talk) 18:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  - Nevermind, added back full name w/ cite to The New York Times.  Cirt (talk) 18:40, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Google search 

message: On wikipedia's main page for the House of Reps, I've subtracted by one the number of vacancies listed there before today by one based on tonight's election of Jackie Speier.  I checked here first to make sure others have already decided she's been elected, and with that result remaining uncontested by TPTB (even though I believe TPTB at Wikipedia made that decision before the AP has officially declared her the winner), so I'm counting on you guys here to back me up over there.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Homoaffectional (talk • contribs) 05:36, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  House of Representatives 

message: "She is also a former Democratic member of the California State Senate". Isn't she a Democratic former member of the California State Senate?
The wording currently in the aricle made me start looking for info on why she had left the party and run for congress as an Independent. Which she hasn't as far as I can tell... /85.194.44.18 (talk) 16:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wording 

message: I added two Speier specific sentences regarding her foresight on the matter (she was one of only two people to make out wills beforehand) and her spotting Tim Carter (major red flag that got the team worrying that night).  I also cleaned up some terminology to make it consistent with the other wikipedia Jonestown articles.  Mosedschurte (talk) 08:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Haven't had a chance to work on that section of the article yet.  There are probably literally hundreds more WP:RS/WP:V secondary sources that could be utilized.  Cirt (talk) 08:26, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a ton that could be put in about Speier in Georgetown and Jonestown from reliable sources.  I hesitate to add more because of weight concerns, and some might want more of her later political career represented rather than the incidents in Guyana.  I'm not saying I'm one of them, but I tried to limit the info added on the Guyana trip in case this was an issue. Mosedschurte (talk) 01:40, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jonestown/PT discussion 

message: Based on my deciphering of her doublespeak in the floor speech and the source I cited, it appears Speier had the surgical procedure following a miscarriage (not an induced abortion, which destroys a live child).  Abortion proponents often equate the two and falsely claim that pro-life advocates oppose the former.  Her testimony appears to be an example of this phenomenon.  For this reason, I have changed the word “abortion” to “D&E procedure” in the article where applicable. 72.172.127.254 (talk) 23:22, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
