The LNP editorial board (May 7, 2019). "Public employees shouldn't be tasked with writing glowing entries for elected officials' Wikipedia pages [opinion]". LNP (newspaper). Retrieved May 8, 2019. Staff members for Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, Auditor General Eugene DePasquale and Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa — all Democrats — and Republican Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman have, among their other duties, the task of editing their bosses' entries on Wikipedia, the online collaborative encyclopedia. Salaries of these staff members are paid for by taxpayers, LNP staff writers Junior Gonzalez and Carter Walker reported Monday.
Carter Walker, Junior Gonzalez (May 7, 2019). "Wikipedia flags Pa. Attorney General Josh Shapiro over glowing, staff-written bio". LNP (newspaper). Retrieved May 8, 2019. On Tuesday the Wikipedia community first flagged a glowing bio of the Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, saying it may "rely excessively on sources too closely associated with the subject" and could have been written in return for payment, both of which violate its terms of use. In Shapiro's case, edits were made by a communications staffer.
Hannah Getahun (August 3, 2024). "Harris meeting on Sunday with a trio of prospective VP finalists: report". Business Insider. Retrieved August 4, 2024. Journalist and editor Graham Starr first reported on X that Shapiro's Wikipedia page has seen dozens of edits, while Walz and Kelly have seen few. Though this phenomenon could indicate a future VP pick, as it has done in the past, many of the edits to Shapiro's page concerned criticism he received regarding past remarks about Palestinians and his stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report. The week in which this happened:
I trimmed the section a bit. I think it's worth considering that this section is a bit unusual in that material from Shapiro's early life, AGship and governorship was merged into one section. So it's natural that this section will be longer than others, which are more temporally focused. One way to fix the outsize length of the section would be to move portions of it back into the sections about the times in his life when they occurred, but I think it is probably better to keep this information centralized as the previous arrangement was confusing and led to people adding duplicate info.
