[edit] The non-Candidacy

Just a note that I've removed the reference by User:mikeroberts to Sarah supposedly standing in the leadership election as I've been unable to find any other reputable references to it in news coverage nor, for what it's worth, any discussions I've had with people inside the party.

As a note - I think the discussion of the leadership in 2006 now drowns out the rest of her bio. Under a settled menzies cambell leadership I believe this section should be removed. I have not done this myself since I am not a registered user.

I believe Sarah Teather's role in the letter mentioned in the Guardian merits a mention, but the section could be thinned out. Catchpole 12:44, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biography

See Leicester Grammar School- it has a reference to her as a noticeable alumni, which may warrant a mention. 86.2.106.90 00:47, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV

Wikipedia is not the place to campaign for selection. All this POV-pushing is pretty pathetic. You're in the same party, too! Doing it from a parliament IP address is particularly unprofessional. Take it elsewhere or get banned. --ascorbic 21:48, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Westminster war over Wikipedia

See Wikipedia:Press_coverage#July news Item under "Westminster war over Wikipedia" --Philip Baird Shearer 12:45, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date of Birth

There was a conflict in her date of birth, which I have now corrected. The infobox gave it as 6 January 1974, while the article said 1 June 1974. One of these is obviously wrong, so I've opted for 1 June. Hopefully, this is the right one. Cheers Paul20070 (talk) 12:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

The BBC and Lib Dems both give it as June 1st. I assume it was a case of a 1/6 vs 6/1 error. --Cherry blossom tree 16:18, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I thought that was probably the case, but wasn't sure. Easy enough mistake to make. Paul20070 (talk) 22:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
