Current chairperson and commissioners --and-- which INFOBOX to use?

I just finished redoing the list at Current chairperson and commissioners into a sortable table.</br
I was _THEN_ going to place an "INFOBOX" into the three commissioner's articles who are now missing one such box.
BUT... It turns out that Julius Genachowski has a Infobox Politician infobox, but Robert M. McDowell has a Infobox person type of an infobox.
Does anyone have an opinion as to which one to use on the other three commissioners, -AND- which one to convert over?

FYI: My own personal vote is to convert Robert M. McDowell's infobox from the 'person' type to the 'politician' type.

Husband?

She is married to James Baker III's son, James (Jammie) Baker IV. http://www.ourcampaigns.com/CandidateDetail.html?CandidateID=218405 http://transition.fcc.gov/commissioners/baker/biography.html

Not sure how to report this so I'm putting it here.

Career History order

Maybe I missed this somewhere in best practices guidelines, but should the career history of the person be laid out in a chronological order (i.e. first job at the top of the section)? Andyhill7 (talk) 14:52, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request

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

Hello! Over the past few months I've been working on a proposed draft for this article. First, a disclosure: I do have a financial conflict of interest as I'm here on behalf of CTIA and Baker as part of my work at Beutler Ink. Due to my COI, I won't edit the article myself and seek neutral editors to review my proposed changes and make them if they seem appropriate. You can see my previous request for the CTIA (organization) article here. @Fylbecatulous: Thanks again for your help with the CTIA request. I am pinging you here now so you are aware of this related request, and in case you have any interest in reviewing.

I've published my draft here. The draft addresses several problems with the current article:

Added * The lead does not even link to CTIA (organization), where she sees as president and CEO (not to mention, the organization's former name is used) It does now along with her titles and updated organisational name. Does anything else need rewording or amending? Thanks Fylbecatulous talk 02:45, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removed * Removal of some unnecessary detail (re: Isaac Van Zandt, etc.) and unsourced content from the "Early life and education" section, such as her attendance at St. John's School. This section updated ... Fylbecatulous talk 02:45, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed * As mentioned above, the current article's career section is in reverse chronological order. This is resolved as article sections have been reordered during updating as requested and written. Fylbecatulous talk 12:55, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed * The entire "CTIA" section is unsourced, which is entirely inappropriate, especially given the quotations and specific claims made. Now done; section moved to time oriented location, text added as written (notes: one citation tweaked as we did in CTIA the article, and a few wikilinks added = noted in edit summaries) Thank you, Fylbecatulous talk 20:51, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed * The current article's "Comcast" section is filled with quotations (I've tried to provide a better, neutral overview of her work). Changes to section accepted in entirety as written. Thank you. Fylbecatulous talk 12:55, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've prioritized accuracy and neutrality, and I'm hoping to find uninvolved editors to review my proposed text. I'm happy to respond to questions here, and thanks for your consideration. Inkian Jason (talk) 18:39, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Inkian Jason, good evening. It will be my pleasure to assist you. Again, you are a trusted editor to me and I have no problem with your sourcing and writing style. As before I will go section by section and mainly verify citations; then copy and paste to the article. I may open the talk page if I have an unexpected question. I will mark off as completed with formatting similar to the talk page for CTIA (organization). Unless another lurker happens along and begins to work I will address the article in its entirety, but leave your request open until all is completed and you announce 'resolved'. Since I adore using these ticky-tack templates I will sign off with a:

Works for me: Fylbecatulous talk 21:24, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In progress: I have completed most preliminary amendments as can be seen in article history and edit summaries. One question outstanding for categories before updating them. Will return tomorrow: Season finale for something I defer placing a permanent what links here to this article that is decidedly gravitas. Therefore:

Later: Fylbecatulous talk 22:54, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylbecatulous: Thank you for offering to help again. I look forward to your review and I'm happy to address any problems here or on the draft's talk page. Inkian Jason (talk) 15:22, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Task complete. Inkian Jason, I have completed this as assigned and accepted, I believe. I defer to you to mark as resolved and close request. While this is open if there are complaints, mistakes, changes or tweaks, reversions you wish done; or anything new added (example: to the lead or infobox, which were not in your draft), please ping me back. As well, this is on my forever watchlist (as is CTIA). All the best to you for now. Fylbecatulous talk 20:51, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylbecatulous: Thank you so much for your time and help. I have marked this edit request as 'answered'. If I have any other requests for this article, or the CTIA one, I'll let you know. But, in the meantime, thanks again for your assistance! Inkian Jason (talk) 15:34, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request: Infobox image

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

On behalf of CTIA and Baker, I am requesting replacement of the current infobox image with File:Meredith Attwell Baker - CTIA Winter 2017.jpg, which is more current. CTIA has already submitted a permissions email to OTRS, but the permissions hasn't been updated yet. @Fylbecatulous: I am pinging you since you mentioned I could above. Thanks for your consideration. Inkian Jason (talk) 20:29, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Inkian Jason: Yes, I accept. The file has already been approved on Wikimedia Commons and I have just replaced it. Would you like to have some additional categories for her? I was looking at Brian L. Roberts fellow Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Comcast Corporation and Baker is lacking some that Mr. Roberts has. ie: American chief executives, et all. Please advise. Thanks!!! Fylbecatulous talk 01:03, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylbecatulous: Thanks for updating the infobox. Would it be appropriate to add the same image of Meredith Attwell Baker on the CTIA (organization) article, too? I am comfortable with you adding whichever categories you feel are appropriate. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 15:26, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. @Inkian Jason: Added image to CTIA article and some categories here to article. Thank you again. Fylbecatulous talk 19:23, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
