* I like that you use the person's first and last name instead of always "he, he, he"; however, when you use just their last name please use a title in front of it- so instead of saying "Johnson studied at the University" go with "Mr./Dr./Prof. Johnson, etc.".

* we've started the rule that unless a person's article is REALLY long, then it does not need a table of contents. These automatically appear after you create a few separate headers. To eliminate this place <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> as the very last thing on the page. NOTOC is surrounded by 2 underscores (_) on each side.

Article Order:
There is no set answer for your question, the rule to follow would be to order it in a way that makes sense for both the subject and the reader. So if the person has published a lot then maybe those publications should go towards the top. But, for the average person it seems to make sense like this:
# A brief intro section, with their name, current position, and any VERY relevant extra info such as important work with ICANN, important past experience, or information that doesn't seem to fit elsewhere.
# A career history section
# Publications/Achievements/ICANN section/More on Current Work/Industry Work sections - these sections will not be on every article, but if they apply it is up to you determine which seems most important - consider the length of each potential section and the rest of the person's profile to help make this decision.
# Education/Personal Info/Misc. - I've said that education goes last because it is usually the oldest experience a person has and is not the type of thing that most people want to quickly learn about another person. This could not be true if they are an academic/very accomplished student, so while it doesn't always have to be last, for the average person it should come after most of the stuff I've just listed.
I don't want you to think every article needs to look/read the same, I do not want that at all! It's good to keep each article a little different, and give it its own feeling whenever possible, but I hope this guideline helps, and please holler if you have more questions.
