| − | ==Editing==
| |
| − | I'm going to start editing the batches you've posted. I've already gone through Batch #4 to determine whether or not you've exhausted the possible resources, and out of the 50 person batch there were only a few I identified that need some more content. That batch is not yet edited completely, but when you have a chance please go back and build up those articles I've identified. Keep an eye out for my other editing notes as I work through these batches. Thanks, [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]

| |
| − | Notes:
| |
| − | * In most cases Education should come last in a person's profile. This is because it is generally the oldest experience a person has and is not usually the main thing that people would want to quickly learn about a person. I've been switching it in your articles, but please put it towards the end of the articles in the future.
| |
| − | * I like that you use the person's first and last name instead of always "he, he, he"; however, when you use just their last name please use a title in front of it- so instead of saying "Johnson studied at the University" go with "Mr./Dr./Prof. Johnson, etc.".
| |
| − | * we've started the rule that unless a person's article is REALLY long, then it does not need a table of contents. These automatically appear after you create a few separate headers. To eliminate this place <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> as the very last thing on the page. NOTOC is surrounded by 2 underscores (_) on each side.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Article Order:
| |
| − | There is no set answer for your question, the rule to follow would be to order it in a way that makes sense for both the subject and the reader. So if the person has published a lot then maybe those publications should go towards the top. But, for the average person it seems to make sense like this:
| |
| − | # A brief intro section, with their name, current position, and any VERY relevant extra info such as important work with ICANN, important past experience, or information that doesn't seem to fit elsewhere.
| |
| − | # A career history section
| |
| − | # Publications/Achievements/ICANN section/More on Current Work/Industry Work sections - these sections will not be on every article, but if they apply it is up to you determine which seems most important - consider the length of each potential section and the rest of the person's profile to help make this decision.
| |
| − | # Education/Personal Info/Misc. - I've said that education goes last because it is usually the oldest experience a person has and is not the type of thing that most people want to quickly learn about another person. This could not be true if they are an academic/very accomplished student, so while it doesn't always have to be last, for the average person it should come after most of the stuff I've just listed.

| |
| − | I don't want you to think every article needs to look/read the same, I do not want that at all! It's good to keep each article a little different, and give it its own feeling whenever possible, but I hope this guideline helps, and please holler if you have more questions. Thanks, [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]

| |
| − | Hi Ali, please make note of the change in process for keeping track of your batches. There is a note on the [[Articles needed]] page explaining what is different. Thanks. [[User:Caterina|Caterina]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We seem to have been working on the [[Articles needed]] page at the same time. You might want to make sure that your edits weren't lost when I transferred your batches over to your user page. Sorry about that. [[User:Caterina|Caterina]]
| |
| − | ==edit==
| |
| − | I just finished editing another entire batch and there is only one issue I left marked out on your user page for you to fix. Great work! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | So, I'm all caught up on your editing. If you look at your page there are three articles marked with issues to clear up (out of 100 total that is pretty good!) I've also left the ones with copy& past issues there so I have them readily available to discuss with my coworkers. Thanks again. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]

| |
| − | ==Batch 7==
| |
| − | You have a tendency to do something like this: "The Asia Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC)" I generally think either the acronym or the full title should be chosen, not both, ''unless you perhaps are introducing a rather rare/uncommon acronym at the beginning of an article''. So if you don't want to link just APNIC, because maybe you've overused the term or you want it to be clear, but still want to to lead to the right article do this: <nowiki>[[APNIC|Asia Pacific Networking Group]]</nowiki>. That way you don't always have to say both the title and acronym, choose either depending on context but remember to link to the same consistent place. That same consistent link is generally the acronym.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | -Another note on this: one place where you made the exactly right decision to use the acronym and spell it out is throughout [[David Gomes]]' article.
| |
| − | ==Help==
| |
| − | Good question. I think it's up to you to make that info professional. That is obviously a long story, and I see you've already given it a go at making a quick summary of it. No reason to ignore it as it is on the Internet and we want to reflect what public knowledge is available about every person. But a good, short (professional) summary with a reference is the goal. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
| |
| − | ==References==
| |
| − | I know that we're hitting the bottom of the barrel and many of the old articles on the .org site don't have references, but I'm going to continue to mark out the ones with no references to encourage you to check a second time and to track how frequently it is happening.[[User:Andrew|Andrew]]

| |
| − | -Also, batch 8 edited, only a few issues for you to clarify. Thanks.
| |
| − | ==Research==
| |
| − | As you can see I've identified a fair number of articles from your most recent batch that could benefit from some more research, rather than do this for your entire batch I'm hoping you could do a quick second swipe to identify more references for these articles. I appreciate your quick work, and you're clearly dedicated to the site, but just try not to rush too hard as we near then end of clearing the .org site! Thanks your continuous work is really appreciated, [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]

| |
| − | Yeah I also don't work on mtruk anymore because of that. Thanks for the compliment. :-) The only problem is that sometimes its very hard to find material. Any tips?
