Husband owner of estate[edit]

I (and OsbertH) removed content about her husband being the owner of an estate. The source says that the owner is J Trevelyan, which matches her husband's name but there is no indication from the source that it is the same person, so I removed it as WP:OR. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 18:24, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They are the same person - see bottom of this article - http://www.twhcbiomass.com/netherwitton-hall — Preceding unsigned comment added by RonSwan (talk • contribs) 20:28, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you have a read of WP:OR, using a primary source like this doesn't show that this content is notable. You would need a secondary source which says something like "A-M Trevelyan is married to J Trevelyan, who owns...." Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 21:29, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a video from Lazy Grace a respected Marketing company showing Mr Trevelyan mentioning he owns Netherwitton Hall, and in the description it thanks him and Anne Marie Trevelyan for letting them into their home. This with the previous sources should be enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx44WDJ9icw — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sproutx (talk • contribs) 08:56, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article from the main local newspaper http://www.northumberlandgazette.co.uk/news/victory-in-wind-farm-fight-1-2948983 refers to Mr trevelyan owning Netherwitton Hall, and refers to his wife Anne Marie. Hopefully this will be enough for you. Sproutx (talk) 09:01, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for posting this article, that is acceptable as a secondary source. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 09:12, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life[edit]

@Owlswick: I see you removed the info about her husband, claiming that it was dangerous given the current political climate for female politicians, this seems odd, as it is normal to have a personal life section about a politician, so I suspect it will be put back, but being from Oklahoma I don't know much about the political climate in Britain. Could you explaine this in more detale?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tornado chaser (talk • contribs) 23:17, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Racism row[edit]

Should this be tacked on the end of Parliamentary Career or in a separate section ("Controversies"? "Anti-Chinese criticism"?)Temp89 (talk) 22:28, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2015 swing[edit]

The statement that she was elected in 2015 with a swing of 4.4% was incorrect. The swing was 9.6% as is correctly shown in the Berwick-upon-Tweed (UK Parliament constituency) article (and is also given in various other sources). Her vote share in 2015 was indeed 4.4% higher than in 2010, but swing between two parties is calculated by combing the rise in one party's vote with the decline in the others. The Liberal Democrat vote fell by 14.8% - this means swing can be calculated by dividing the total of 4.4 and 14.8 (ie 19.2) by 2 which produces a figure of 9.6%. I have amended the article accordingly. Dunarc (talk) 18:58, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mention on Have I Got News Got For You[edit]

Havn't added to the article yet Trevelyan was mentioned on a recent Have I Got News Got For You, 5:20 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0011fnm/have-i-got-news-for-you-series-62-episode-6 for her comment about the second jobs controversy, “I think the question of MPs having jobs that involve lobbying perhaps should be looked at again. But, across the board, I don’t think we should have a removal of the ability to maintain a second job, because it brings a richness to our role as members of parliament.” The Guardian article about this: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/nov/17/mps-second-jobs-add-to-richness-of-political-life-says-minister

Reply to request[edit]

I will send, please give me time. 2600:1014:B110:7FB4:0:52:A69D:B501 (talk) 20:18, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy[edit]

As per suggested, moved the controversy back into the rest of article. Have left two notes about campiagn finances as they seemed to be connected and grouped together, however if added to the article would seperated due to the polictical career section due to being in chronological order. Is this alright or should they merged into the rest of article? NDNSWMI (talk) 22:49, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Trevelyan did not endorse anyone else for the leadership [citation needed]"[edit]

In the Secretary of State for Transport section it's says Trevelyan did not endorse anyone else for the leadership" followed by a [citation needed]. Would a link to news article listing the endorsments from various Conservative MPs and seeing her name not there among anyone other than Boris Johnson be enough for a citation. If not how do go about citing something that didn't happen? Captain Wacky HJS (talk) 09:47, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
