An editor, Montanabw feels that the 'positions' section of this article should be converted to prose. "Lists of works of individuals or groups, such as bibliographies, discographies, filmographies, album personnel and track listings, as well as timelines or chronologies, are typically presented in simple list format." This is a timeline of his positions and makes no sense to be in a paragraph or prose form.Ladysif (talk) 20:30, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Our manual of style discourages, though does not prohibit, "listy" subsections in articles. I converted one section to show you how to do it; this is better style; lists do have their place, but they can be overdone. Montanabw 06:31, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
Some of the awards seem to be internal awards of not-particularly-important regional associations, and look pretty trivial; if they don't have any coverage outside the school magazine, they probably shouldn't be included here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:45, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
I actually agree, but I was mostly just demonstrating how a list could be turned into a narrative paragraph. I have no objections if you wish to edit further. Montanabw 07:18, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
