This article is really, really, really biased. Did the Sekula-Gibbs campaign write it??? Good god...PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ARTICLE OR DELETE IT!!! And it needs to be sourced... Ptown336 00:22, 23 August 2006 Ptown336 ( Talk | contribs)
The City Council section needs a cleanup. It has broken links, is written largely in the present tense (which isn't the case), and she is no longer listed as a director on Bay Area Houston Transportation website. Ryoutou 16:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
The tone and subject matter lack the objective style of an encyclopedia article. For example, the lines "Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who had represented Sekula-Gibbs' area of residence since it was redistricted into DeLay's district (see 2003 Texas redistricting), decided to retire from Congress instead of face a tough re-election campaign in the following November" portray an uncommon perspective on the issue of DeLay's resignation that is unnecessarily supportive of the candidate in question.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.248.151.58 ( talk • contribs) 22:38, 18 October 2006
Why was the bit about her staff walking out on her removed? It really is the only notable thing that happened in her time on the Hill. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.233.142.90 ( talk) 15:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Anybody who get's Houston news here? Well if you have you've probably seen her commercials on how the other guy voted for a tax on an abortion pill and something else. Well that pic she had on that commericial where she's wearing glasses and looks like a texas soccer mom is a much better pic than the other ones where she's got that politician lady thing goin' on, so can someone maybe replace it?

I've added a link to the campaign article for the 22nd district. That's where most of the details about the campaign and election should go - not in this article. Please move the details to the campaign article if they are not already there. I also don't think there should be seperate sections in this article for the special election and the election for an entirely new term - the two elections were held on the same day, and they were definitely interconnected because of the write-in aspects. The campaign article covers both elections, and since there should be no more than a couple of paragraphs (and, arguably, less) in this biography about the election, one section should suffice.

This new "Biography" section suffers from some major problems. To paraphrase the very first entry in the Talk to this article: "This section is really, really, really biased. Did the Sekula-Gibbs campaign write it??? " She "left her mark" on Congress? Doubtful. It needs to be way toned down, or just deleted. -- Sholom 16:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Hey Getaway, great job on ferreting out and reverting the edit from that sockpuppet! [2] Nobody likes it when somebody on Wikipedia pretends to be something they’re not, especially when they're just trying to push their own POV, right? [3] Anyway, have a good day! 138.162.5.7 15:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
The official congressional bio has SSG as one year younger (born in '53) than the article currently does (born in '52). I'm not going to resolve the apparent discrepancy any time soon. Someone with more time should have a wack at it. Studerby 21:20, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
When I moved to League City in 1988 she practiced medicine as Dr. Shelley Sekula-Greenberg. A few years later it was just "Sekula" and I don't know if her husband died or they were divorced. The original version of this article left out her first husband. I noticed it and edited it, and it was changed back by someone. I now live outside her district so I can't imagine why she would not want to recognize her first marriage to the father of her children (She married Sylvan after her kids were older). Even though I don't live around there any more, I still follow politics in that district. Zoocat ( talk) 20:22, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

The section "Congressional term" is linked to by multiple external sources, for instance [4]. This message is to encourage future editors to leave the section title unchanged, although I don't think anyone has tried to change it so far. Cheers - 123.201.225.34 ( talk) 09:20, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
