Personal Life and Philanthropy
edit | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello editors! Linda has hired me to request a few edits to her Wikipedia page. I've disclosed my COI on my Talk page. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. Signed, BlueRoses13 (talk) 17:10, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
1. Would it be possible to add the following sentence to the "Personal life" section?
In 2000, Rabbitt was diagnosed with breast cancer,[1] which was treated with several surgeries and four rounds of chemotherapy.[2]
Done, note that I deleted the number of chemo rounds since this seems like excessive detail here. Rusalkii (talk) 22:33, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
2. Would it be possible to add the following two sentences to the "Philanthropy" section?
In 2003, Rabbitt had Rand build the offices of the National Breast Cancer Coalition pro bono.[3]
In 2016, the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans named Rabbitt a “lifetime member.”[4] As of 2024, she serves on the association’s executive committee.[5]
What does the Horatio Alger Association have to do with philanthropy? Since 1984, the association has administered one of the largest scholarships to students in the U.S. And according to the association's CEO, "Having overcome significant challenges herself, Ms. Rabbitt is dedicated to giving back to younger generations."
Partly done, first one is okay, second is sourced to a press release and the Horatio Alger Association itself - I'd prefer an independent source to back up that this is WP:DUEWEIGHT. Rusalkii (talk) 22:33, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Many thanks for your review. I totally understand. Unfortunately, I don't think an independent source exists, but I'll circle back if something emerges. Thanks again. Signed, BlueRoses13 (talk) 14:49, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
