As it is now, it looks like a whitewash of her role, and of the PMRC. The Wikipedia article on PMRC does better explain that a major goal of what they were trying to accomplish, was censorship of music with sexual, violent and "occult" themes. Not just "awareness", as is currently implied by this article. I'm not going to do this, but I hope someone will in the future, there is a lot of sources both inside and outside of Wikipedia that will help with that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.232.2.174 ( talk) 16:39, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
It is well known that Tipper Gore endorsed a right-wing organization that espoused anti-Semitism in the name of protecting children from obscenity. Why does it have nothing to do with her, and why is it only implying impropriety by association? If she does not agreee with the position espoused by the organization, she should have been more careful before endorsing it.

Tipper's six key demands:
But they all sound reasonable to me....well...except banning the words “pilchards and gristle”...because that’s my favorite lyric. Oh...and that’s 9 demands...not 6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.8.201.76 ( talk) 10:51, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
Her name "Tipper" was actually coined by her friends at school, who thought she had a face that looked like the back of a Tipper truck. Dat is a troo story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.152.114 ( talk) 16:46, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
Can we get a more recent photo than 1999? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.92.4.85 ( talk) 04:33, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi there. Over the past few months, I have been working on behalf of the Glover Park Group, friends of Tipper Gore, to prepare some proposed revisions for this article. While Gore is well-known for many political, creative and philanthropic activities over the last 30+ years, the article lacks many details beyond the 1980s and her work with the PMRC. To update this article, I drafted a more thorough and detailed account of her career using reputable, independent sources. I also improved minor issues in the article related to organization, irrelevant, unsourced, or outdated information, broken/dead links and copy edits.
While I haven't written a completely new draft, I have restructured the article to better reflect the typical structure of a biographical article, made substantial additions to many of the sections (while reducing duplicated material), and changed some of the existing wording, so I've uploaded the revised version of the article with my proposed changes to my userspace here:
Given my conflict of interest with the subject, I would appreciate it if other editors could review my draft and, if they agree it is an improvement, use it to replace the current live article. I've uploaded the entire draft so that editors can review all the differences at once, but I'm happy to work through the changes section by section if that's what is preferable.
To summarize the major differences in my draft:
Editors should note that I am seeking to have the following items removed from the article completely:
I welcome feedback on the draft, so please let me know if you have any thoughts or questions. As a side note, along with this draft, I'm working on getting some more recent high quality photos of Gore released on Wikimedia Commons. I'll be sure to reach out on this page once that happens. Thanks! Heatherer ( talk) 20:30, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
The article is looking great, Grayfell! Thanks for all your work on this. I went through the proposed changes you left out and I'm fine with the majority of them. The only two I'd like to ask you to reconsider are in the introduction:
Finally, regarding the missing reference: sorry about that. I meant to remove that source from the article completely (it was one that we had determined wasn't the strongest earlier in our conversation), so it's fine that you took it out. Thanks! Heatherer ( talk) 20:32, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
Wow, I had no idea philanthropist and fascist were interchangable, thanks for clearing that up Heatherer. I feel very naive but I only just noticed wikipedia pages can be bought and controlled. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.231.177.2 ( talk) 11:09, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

The article said that is was the wife of Al Gore. That is incorrect. They are separated, not divorced. Separated people are still married, so she still is the wife of Gore, albeit estranged. A personally only becomes "was" when the marriage is formally ended, which requires divorce. FearÉIREANN\ (caint) 03:02, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
