Tripp's Recent Speech at National Whistleblower Day: A Proposed Edit

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Information to be added or removed: A sentence about Linda Tripp's first public appearance in a number of years, which occurred in the summer of 2018. Explanation of issue: I would like to propose a new sentence about Tripp's first public appearance in more than 15 years, which occurred on July 30th, 2018. Below is the sentence I am proposing to add: "Tripp made her first public appearance in more than 15 years on July 30th with a speech given at the National Whistleblower Day celebration.^[1]"

References supporting change: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/reliable-source/wp/2018/07/30/linda-tripp-says-she-was-the-victim-of-a-real-high-tech-lynching-in-first-public-address-since-2000/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.c2eb7f7836f9 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/linda-tripp-metoo-icon-and-champion-of-good-government/2018/07/30/92a17c74-943e-11e8-a679-b09212fb69c2_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.fa93be3f4c0f https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jul/30/linda-tripp-to-make-first-public-appearance-in-18-/ I think my proposed sentence is relevant because Tripp hadn't made a public appearance in so long and this issue is related to her personal story.

Below is the proposed edit I had proposed a few months ago on 23 February 2019- all I'm doing in this new post is adding the Request Edit template to this previous edit that I still stand by and would like reviewed.

I would like to propose a new sentence about Tripp's first public appearance in more than 15 years, which was a speech she gave on July 30th, 2018. Below is the sentence I am proposing to add:

"Tripp made her first public appearance in more than 15 years on July 30th with a speech given at the National Whistleblower Day celebration.^[2]"

I would also like to disclose that I am serving as a paid editor: I am employed by Kohn, Kohn, and Colapinto, LLP. I am also associated with the National Whistleblower Center. I am receiving compensation in the form of payment for hourly work on article edits. This information is also disclosed on my user page and my user talk page. If there are any more precautions I need to take to comply with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use and conflict of interest rules, please let me know! I am attempted to use the connected contributor in conjunction with the Request Edit template. Sa 3003 (talk) 01:39, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Extended content

Elaboration requested

To "make an appearance" is a vague assertion. This could include merely showing up but not speaking with anyone or being spotted in the passenger seat of a car — and neither of those appearances by themselves would make any sense to report upon. (See WP:BURP.)
Please clarify any actions which Ms. Tripp undertook during this appearance which might lend to understanding of why this appearance was important to note beyond just the 15 year hiatus.^[a]
When ready to proceed, please reopen this request by altering the {{request edit}} template's answer parameter to read from |ans=yes to |ans=no.

Regards,

Notes

^ The heading of the edit request mentions a speech which may have been made, but the language of the edit request proposal itself makes no mention of any speech.

Not a whistleblower

Regardless of one’s view of Tripp’s actions, it is wrong to describe her as a whistleblower. Her actions simply do not meet the definition. Fielding99 (talk) 20:22, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A whisteblower as defined by Merriam-Webster is an individual who brings wrongdoing by an employer or by other employees to the attention of government or law enforcement agency.

I concur with the opinion that no matter what the courts may have ruled, her actions were driven by revenge and not as a public service, which denigrates the actions and risks taken by actual whisteblowers Mksaelens (talk) 00:43, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bald statement

During the summer of 1994, senior White House aides wanted Tripp removed from the White House...

That needs a few words of explanation. Valetude (talk) 11:36, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
