Request to clarify wording of a specific sentence

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

Resolved

Sorry, but I identified a minor error after this draft was taken live. Currently, the first sentence of the Board service and recognition section reads:

Mawakana serves on the Consumer Technology Association's board of industry leaders, as well as Boom Supersonic's and Intuit's board of directors.

Image request

Also, I've cropped the infobox image to create: File:Tekedra Mawakana and Emily Tisch Sussman (13927409690) (crop).jpg. I propose replacing the current infobox image and removing "(left)" from the caption. @InfiniteNexus: Given your recent help at Talk:Waymo, might you be willing to replace the infobox image on my behalf? Thanks for your consideration, Inkian Jason (talk) 14:14, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. InfiniteNexus (talk) 15:00, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Changes

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented.

On behalf of Waymo, I am requesting a revert of these edits on March 12, 2025, which adds personal information about the subject that is not based on secondary coverage. The Insider Higher Ed article does not even mention the subject in passing. I recommend reverting to this version of the article from February 8, 2025. I avoid editing the main space directly because of my COI and seek assistance from others to review and help appropriately. @InfiniteNexus and Ipigott: I am welcome feedback from all editors but also want to put this request on your radar given your previous assistance above. Thank you, Inkian Jason (talk) 21:22, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

reverted some of the edits. Have retained the other edits, as I feel it does come under Wikipedia's Living Person's Guidelines. Removed sections about divorce, as it is from a court case, and it violates Wikipedia's Original Research Policy. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 03:33, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing. Inkian Jason (talk) 18:14, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As part of my work at Beutler Ink, I have worked with Waymo to donate File:Tekedra Mawakana.jpg to Wikimedia Commons via the Volunteer Response Team in an attempt to update the article's infobox with a professional photograph of the subject. I avoid editing the main space, so I'm asking others to update the infobox on my behalf. @InfiniteNexus: I am putting this request on your radar, since you assisted with a photo request above, but I invite any editors to assist.
