 * Given that anyone can register an account under any name, it would be helpful to have some assurance that you are, in fact, the same Tom Januzzi who is the author of the text submitted to that article. Obviously, if you were not, this would be a pretty clear copyright violation (unless there is some provision in Ohio law which renders Ohio Judicial Conference articles in the public domain). For a piece like this, it can not go into the article as is, because it is written in more of an advisory tone than an encyclopedic tone. For example, the first sentence, "A Judge's proper role in the plea bargaining process in a criminal or traffic case is critical to the fair and impartial administration of justice", may well be true, but it is an expression of opinion, and therefore needs to be independently cited.
 * If you would like your entire article to be presented as is, the place to do this would be Wikisource; I have initiated a request to have someone there help you out with that process. Once your article is on Wikisource, we can refer to it there and use it as the source for statements like the above in the Wikipedia article, which would then be rephrased to something like:
