* A basic search is when you simply search with the company name such as [http://www.google.com/search?q=MelbourneIT "MelbourneIT"].

==Filling the Company Infobox==  

We can start by using this information to fill the [http://icannwiki.com/index.php/Template:CompanyInfo Company Infobox].   

We can start by using this information to fill the [[:Template:CompanyInfo|Company Infobox Template]].   

* For example, you can collect the logo from the official website. Currently icannwiki only supports .jpg/.jpeg formats so if the find is in any other format (such as .gif in this case) , you can use any simple image converter such as Windows Paint or Adobe Photoshop to convert the format.

* You can collect the company's logo from the official website. Currently ICANNWiki only supports .jpg/.jpeg and .png formats so if the find is in any other format (such as .gif in this case) , you can use any simple image converter such as Windows Paint or Adobe Photoshop to convert the format.

** 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.

* Most of the information needed for the info box, for example, type, industry, founded,  purchase, ownership, headquarters, country, products, revenue, website etc you can find from the basic search results.

* From the MelbourneIT’s official website, pages like [http://www.melbourneit.info/about-us/ "About Us"], [http://www.melbourneit.info/about-us/our-history "History"], and [http://www.melbourneit.info/about-us/company-overview "Company Overview"] can give us these information. Its always better if we can use sources other than the official websites to collect these information so websites that keep company profiles such as CrunchBase or Yahoo! Finance are of great help too.

* Do remember to properly refer the sources of the information in the content. You can either do it in the inside the infobox or in the introduction part of the content because the introduction is basically an explanation of the facts given in the info box with some additional information.
