Line 1: − Guidelines for creating a great article here: − − + + + + − + − + + + + − == What '''not''' to do == − * Do not include promotional material; the point is to educate not sell − * Do not copy text or images from other websites, writing must be original. It is fine to read, understand and then create your own content. − == Creating Company Articles == − * When uploading a company logo, try to give it a name which includes the name of the company and the word logo, like "ABC-Logo.jpg". If you use just "logo.png" over time some logos will overwrite others. − * Use the [[:Template:CompanyInfo|Company Infobox Template]] − * Put all key people into the infobox − *: Shorten people's titles to make them fit better, so "Executive Vice President" becomes [[EVP]] − * Add <nowiki>[[Category:Company]]</nowiki> to the bottom of the page to categorize the article as a company − * If the company is a Registrar or Registry, then add <nowiki>[[Category:Registrars]]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Category:Registries]]</nowiki> +
