@JudgeJack I cannot verify this cite, it seems to be paywalled. Is there a more accessible source someone could check? Rusalkii (talk) 05:19, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This site contains all the information about the bar associations of which I am a member - America, Pennsylvania, Northampton, Luzerne, and Philadelphia, and that I am a member of the Council of Chief Judges of the State Courts of Appeal:

Agree. I've removed the unsourced text for now. Text can be added back IF accessible secondary coverage is provided. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:46, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Request

An impartial editor has reviewed the proposed edit(s) and asked the editor with a conflict of interest to go ahead and make the suggested changes.

What I think should be changed (include citations): He was named runner up for the 2003 Politician of the Year by the political website PoliticsPA.[15] This section is under my Judicial Career and should be moved to the personal section on the Wikipedia page.

Why it should be changed:Because it is personal and not related to my Judicial Career.

Personally I think this fits better in the Judicial Career section, it is clearly related to the professional sphere even if it isn't directly judicial, but I see no COI issues here, so you can implement that change yourself if you want. Rusalkii (talk)

References

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

What I think should be changed:As a trial judge, he presided over a well-publicized murder trial which provided the basis for the book Lipstick and Blood (Pinnacle True Crime 2006), by John Kearney. It is a nonfiction book about the joint murder trial of husband and wife defendants, Michelle Hetzel and Brandon Bloss, who were charged, and eventually convicted, of the murder of Devon Guzman. (Please add this as the third paragraph under the Judicial Career section).

This book is available for sale on numerous websites and should be on the internet to anyone visiting Judge Panella's wikipedia page.

Why it should be changed: Judge Panella is mentioned in this book in every chapter

Goodreads is not a good source; if the trial was "well-publicized" I assume there are newspaper article or similar about it? Rusalkii (talk)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Per above, plus this is of dubious notability in any case. Declining without a better source for why this should be included on the page.GiovanniSidwell (talk) 20:41, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Request

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

What I think should be changed: The third book should be added under publications in the last line in section because the Wikipedia page mentions Judge Panella has written three books. Please view the third book information below.

His third book, The Pennsylvania Restitution Benchbook, was published in 2020 by the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts.

Why it should be changed: The third book should be added because it is part of his judicial career and the publication section does mention he has written three books.

Done with edits since he was not the only author. Also, it took some digging to find the book in that source and the authors weren't mentioned at all. Please link directly to the source that supports the facts.
