After reading this article [1] (requires a subscription or viewing in incognito mode), I have added COI and UDP templates to the article pending some sort of cleanup.-- SamHolt6 ( talk) 14:19, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
A spokesman for the attorney general said it’s part of the digital communications director’s job responsibilities to write those kinds of nice things about his boss.
“The digital work is a core function of the digital director’s job. We stand by it,” the spokesman,———, said.
—— said the staffer, ———, had help from a deputy press secretary and that their work was approved by Shapiro’s deputy chief of staff, ———.

I think it’s important to add that he is pro-abortion (link to: “Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus.”) given the importance that plays in his election bid and how visitors will be interested in knowing that about him. Thanks!

The graphic displaying Shapiro's win over Mastriano in the governor race has the following caption: "Shapiro defeated by Mastriano in the 2022 gubernatorial election by more than 14%" The caption should be changed to "Shapiro defeated Mastriano in the 2022 gubernatorial election by more than 14%" (Removing the first "by", in order to be grammatically correct in the context of Shapiro winning the election) The Cheadle ( talk) 06:02, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
@ Pennsylvania2: Please explain the inclusion of a comment on four counties won by Shapiro based on their previous net favor for Trump in the 2020 presidential election. This is a gubernatorial election, not a presidential election, with no overlap between candidates, nor did President Trump endorse Shapiro. I fail to see the relevance, as you could just as feasibly make the same comment regarding any historical presidential election. Either a reliable source illustrating why it is notable, or a similar project article with a similar comment, would also be helpful. GabberFlasted ( talk) 16:30, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Hey, what happened to the official portrait? It was added on January 17 and then was deleted on the same day. I also can’t find a copy anywhere online. I swear I saw it. Am I going crazy? PencilSticks0823 ( talk) 06:51, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The requesting editor does not appear to have a conflict of interest and should repost this as a new topic and solicit discussion. |
The edit war that lead to the protection of this page was provoked by user Pennsylvania2. Paid staffers for Josh Shapiro were caught making biased edits in 2019 and they are doing it again. Ironically, this info was added to the page, with citation, and subsequently deleted by the very same paid staffers.
Campaign endorsement op-eds have been listed as source citations. Inconvenient information has been deleted despite proper citations, such as the plea deal for corrupt DA Will Higgins (called a "non-notable prosecution" by Pennsylvania2 - of all the nerve - public corruption?? Higgins went from 62 years in prison to zero, this is notable, if inconvenient to Shapiro's integrity)
Other information that has been suppressed on this page is a carefully sourced and verified link between defendants from the botched prosecution of "Operation Outfoxed" and a significant donor to the Pennsylvania democratic committee. This is relevant information and Pennsylvania2 removed it because it was damaging to his employer.
This is egregious violation of Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest. Here are my proposed edits/reverts to the "Tenure" section under "Attorney General":
On May 7, 2019, the Wikipedia Community flagged edits made to this page, saying they may “rely excessively on sources too closely associated with the subject” and could have been written in return for payment, both of which violate Wikipedia's terms of use. Edits were made by paid communications staffers from Shapiro's campaign, according to Lancaster Online. [1]
In 2017, Shapiro announced the roundup of a "Million Dollar Heroin Ring" under "Operation Outfoxed" in Luzerne County. [2] One of those arrested was Maura Kathio, [3] previously charged in a major Bath Salts case in 2016. [4] Kathio's Father, Inayat, is a Pakistani Diplomat and significant Pennsylvania Democrat Committee donor [5] who was the Co-Chairman of then Presidential Candidate Joe Biden's Hometown Scranton Fundraiser. [6] All of the charges in Operation Outfoxed were dismissed after allegations that Shapiro had mishandled the sealing of wiretapped recordings. [7] [8]
In 2018, Shapiro offered former Bedford County District Attorney William Higgins a plea deal for corruption charges. Higgins plead guilty to soliciting sexual favors from accused drug dealers in exchange for lenient sentencing recommendations and tipping off dealers about impending search warrants, potentially endangering the lives of officers and informants. [9] Shapiro's agreement for Higgins guaranteed zero jail time. Higgins had initially faced a maximum sentence of 62 years for corruption. [10]
Thank you for your consideration, I hope someone competent sees this..
