Semi-protected edit request on 28 November 2017
ADD: FILM Section

Jane Thornthwaite has been an avid supporter of BC's Film industry, speaking often in the Legislature about the topic since her first election in 2009. Steets101 (talk) 19:13, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * ❌. It's a bit promotional, which we prefer to avoid per WP:PROMO. Please also see our requirements on sourcing edits like this.  City O f  Silver  19:20, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * If you could find reliable source coverage about her film advocacy, then we could potentially include a neutrally-worded sentence or two about it. But CityofSilver is right, we're not going to include unsourced content with promotional overtones. Bearcat (talk) 23:09, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Suggested Changes
I am affiliated with Jane Thornthwaite. There are a couple things I would like to help improve about the article: First, it looks like the page has not been updated in a few years and does not include her recent re-election. Second, the Provincial Politics section appears to be primarily about her DUI in 2010. Of course, the DUI is part of a proper biography on her, but it seems to include a lot of excessive detail about the precise contents of her apology, the timing of court dates, and so on that I think could be trimmed to make it more concise and better balanced.

I've put some proposed edits here in hopes that a neutral, crowd-sourced editor might consider them objectively. I would like to ping, , and , who have made prior edits to the page and may have an interest in the subject.

Misleading claims regarding introduction of bill to force youth into treatment
While the page notes that JT introduced and supported Bill 22, it lacks mention of the vast opposition to Bill 22 and its potential harm. The page should be edited to reflect this and there are a number of academic/journalistic publications that indicate this. Starstruck1998 (talk) 18:32, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I presume you are referring to her Safe Care Act (Bill M-202) in 2018. Are you able to list some of those references for potential integration into the article? maclean (talk) 01:21, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Misogynistic claims
There needs to be a section included outlining JT’s comments on representative Bowinn Ma, whereby JT implies that BM used her sex appeal to persuade and appease male politicians. This page is locked and no edits can be included. Starstruck1998 (talk) 20:49, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The comments were made during an election campaign and in that context were significant enough to generate news coverage. We'll see if they have any lasting relevance. maclean (talk) 01:21, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

No, the comments were made outside of the context of the election cycle (at a roast of a former Party representative), and directly involved the leader of one of the province’s most prominent & long-standing political parties. JT’s misogynistic claims require addition under a separate controversies section. If it is not added this signifies censorship Starstruck1998 (talk) 16:56, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
