"Maureen Colquhoun, another lesbian MP, did not declare her sexuality until after she left parliament [3]. "
actually the article linked confirms that she has been outed before leaving parliament (it quotes articles from 1976 and Maureen lost her seat in 1979)
"Eagle is a lesbian, coming out in a newspaper interview in September 1997."
Neither of the footnotes back up this statement. If she came out in a newspaper interview, a footnote should give details of that newspaper interview. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flibberdy ( talk • contribs) 16:30, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
I'm new to Wikipedia so I am not sure about etiquette and procedure but the last statement regarding the 1992 election seems out of place and could be considered defamatory. Is it ok to simply delete it?
No because it was a true statement.
Please refrain from making slanderous or libelous comments unless you can substantiate them with reputable sources. Until then, I have reverted the article to an earlier version. ThePointblank 21:08, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I believe Angela's a better chess player than even that reference indicates (she has if I remember rightly won international as well as national chess competitions though she hasn't made it her career).

Are memes part of the story that Wikipedia covers?
