That's a great start but you haven't shown the Member table. It would also be very useful if you included a few sample rows from each table. For example, I'm looking at the member_id_edited and member_id_editor columns so that I can create tiny sample tables like yours and I have no idea what values will typically go in those columns.
By the way, did you know that there are typos in the first two column names of the Update_History table? "updatehistroy" should be spelled "updatehistory"....
