UPS Board Membership[edit]

I have removed information from this article which suggested that John W. Thompson is a current member of the United Parcel Service Board of Directors because the company's current website [1] does not list him in such a post. If however another one of my fellow Wikipedians can cite a another reliable source which verifies his current membership on the UPS Board of Directors, I would encourage to cite it if they intend to re-add the information. --TommyBoy (talk) 03:25, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Better picture?[edit]

The current picture of Mr. Thompson is apparently a screen-grab from a video, and it's pretty awful. Aren't there any better public-domain pictures available? Or could the one from Microsoft's website be considered fair use? https://news.microsoft.com/leadership/ (click on "Board Members"). RenniePet (talk) 14:40, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
