I see that Ken has partially updated my current positions w.r.t. the ASF.  However, I am no longer active in ECMA.  Either the ECMA and CLI portions should be struck, or this should be changed to "holds or has held".  If the latter, the chairmanship of Jakarta should be restored, release manager for Tomcat 3.1, developer on Axis, and member of the PHP group should be added.  In either case, secretary of the IETF AtomPub working group is still current information.

message: Since September 19, 2020, Rebecca's preferred name is Rebecca Barlow Guidi:
* https://twitter.com/RebeccaBarlow
* https://www.instagram.com/RebeccaEBarlow
While her usernames are not changed (due to character limits for Twitter, perhaps due to wanting a shorter name for IG, and perhaps due to years with the same usernames), her display name is changed on both accounts. It's been ≈8 years since the band disbanded, and Barlow Guidi's marriage is the most recent and most notable news from the band. On Wikipedia, we typically go with people's preferred names, with few exceptions. This is why with Alisa Childers, her married name is used, even though most to all ZOEgirl discography uses Girard instead of Childers. In light of Barlow Guidi's current preferred name, should we update this article accordingly?
P.S.: The "Despite the band's change of mind on purity culture" sentence is because BarlowGirl did make many objectionable choices. This was best noticed from 2013 to today. By sending a mixed message, it cast doubt that even one of the sisters would marry at all. That said, I pray that Rebecca's marriage goes well and has the foundation of Jesus Christ.

thread_title:  The Disappearances 

message: To quote the Dictionary of Wisconsin History entry for Caddie Woodlawn (Historic Marker Erected 1970):
:Caddie Woodlawn Park, Hwy 25, 3.5 mi. S of Downsville On this site during the Civil War Caroline Augusta Woodhouse, known throughout the world as "Caddie Woodlawn," experienced the excitement of growing up in pioneer Wisconsin. Her Tomboy adventures with her two red-headed brothers, and her fearless trust in the Indians who lived nearby, were faithfully recorded by her grand-daughter, Carol Ryrie Brink in her book, Caddie Woodlawn, and in its sequel, Magical Melons. In 1935 Caddie Woodlawn received the coveted Newbery Award Medal as "The most distinguished children's book of the year." It has since become a classic, read by thousands of children throughout the nation, and trans­lated into more than ten foreign languages. Somewhere within the present park area, Mary, one of the eight children of the John V. Woodhouse family, is buried in an unmarked grave. Nearby stands the Woodhouse home, which was moved in 1970 from the original site about 300 yards to the east. In January, 1940, "Caddie" died in Idaho at the age of 86.
[Source: McBride, Sarah Davis. History Just Ahead (Madison:WHS, 1999).]
While her name was not technically "Caddie Woodlawn", she definitely did exist, and her family's homestead is still there.  I am, therefore, rewording this bit about her.  Tomertalk 03:22, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
