[edit] Wording

"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)

It would've taken you less keystrokes to fix it yorself.--Dr who1975 (talk) 16:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jonestown/PT discussion

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)

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)

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)
