* In the "country" field in the people template, only input the person's country - do not put "Brasilia, Brasil" (including the city) or "Belize, Central America" (including the region). Adding additional info messes up the categories.

* This industry uses a lot of acronyms, as you have found out. Often these acronyms are so common that they need not be explained (like for ISOC, IEEE, INTA), and sometimes they are not commonly used - these are ones that usualyl pertain to very small organizations, like the Bangladesh Bar Associated or the FCCN of Portugal, in this case it is best not to use the acronym alone but to explain it. This will be hard to adjust to immediately as you may not know which acronyms are well known, but keep your eyes open and try to start remembering some of the acronyms you see a lot of so that the obscure ones stick out more.

* Mailing lists are not important, unless they are used as proof that a person participates in a given organization. It is never necessary to say "Joh Doe is on the XYZ mailing list".

those are my initials to show that I've checked them, if another editor edits you will be seeing their initials as well. I will write out any issues that you should corret, so far I've fixed any issues myself and have been leaving you those tips above. I write "stub" next to the very short articles so we can track how many of them appear in each batch.[[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
