I added a new infobox detailing LaGrotta's criminal record. I followed wikipedia guidelines on this, following all WP:BLP rules. See the articles on James Traficant, Duke Cunningham, and Tom Delay to see similar infoboxes in use.-- RedShiftPA ( talk) 02:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
The "mugshot" attached to the article is not a police "mug shot." It is LaGrotta's Pennsylvania driver's license photo. It is also misattributed to the Dauphin County Pa. Police Department. There is no such entity. The photo was distributed by the office of the Pennsylvania Attorney General.
I removed a paragraph from the article on WP:BLP and WP:NPOV grounds. The paragraph contained a link to a site called the New Castle News, and used as its source a fairly tabloid-style webitorial. I didn't consider it be a reliable source, and therefore removed the section. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 22:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

There's nothing wrong with this paragraph, but it was presented by itself, without anything from another POV. We can be NPOV by attempting to present nobody's POV or multiple different POVs, but only presenting one POV makes the article itself POV. Someone please restore this paragraph if a pro-Corbett POV is also presented.

The editor who reverted my deletion of the American Criminals category asked why I deleted it. I explained in shorthand in my edit summary. I'll expand further here.
This is a biography of a living person. Categorization must be balanced against the special rules for WP:BLPs. From WP:Categorization of people#General_considerations:
- Not all categories are comprehensive: For some "sensitive" categories, it is better to think of the category as a set of representative and unquestioned examples, while a list is a better venue for an attempt at completeness. Particularly for "sensitive" categories, lists can be used as a complement to categorization. See also Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and series boxes.

- Exert extra precaution with regard to the categorization of living people: see Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Categories
WP:BLP and WP:WEIGHT counsel conservatism here. Politicians convicted of crimes is sufficient. American Criminals is overkill. David in DC ( talk) 19:36, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
