Why is Shirley Carder on the disclosure list?

What do the comparisons mean?
Ranks and shares are among people on the same year’s list only: those with the same title, those at the same employer, or everyone listed. People paid under $100,000 are not on the list, so they are not counted.
How do I report a mistake or ask for a record to be removed?
