I have a book soon to be published and felt I should create a WP bio page because of the new interest the book is sure to generate. Both of my partners in winning a Pulitzer Prize in 2000 already have WP bio pages. I'm best suited to write this for the obvious reason that I know the facts, and I have a wealth of reliable sources to cite. It is written in a thoroughly straightforward way, with the barest of facts.

Will clarify chronology
Primefac, the career timeline has been rendered too unclear at several points -- e.g., suggesting I served as deputy managing editor in 1988, but not in 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1992, as I did. Or it could be read that I was appointed in 1988 and am still in that position. Also, when was this Hanley in the Army -- after he retired? And isn't it strange that the AP's international news desk would be located in Albany, NY? Some more precise dates will clarify. With citations noting years of appointments.

If there's a reference that gives that information (as you demonstrated with that "first" claim) then by all means add it to the article and update the information accordingly.
