I have edited you ICANN article 2. One of biggest issues is the lack of references, I am looking now and it seems I may not have explained how to reference. Referencing needs to happen after every substantial section of the article, and should be used whenever you have taken information from another source (not copying and pasting, we don't copy and paste). It is done like this:

SO first you have the ref brackets, then you have the link, and after the link make one space and explain what the link is, if it is icann.org/meetings, just write that out again in short form (i.e., leave off the www. and all the extra code at the end, just explain the link simply)

===research===
You can expect that there will not be much information on the first half of the ICANN meetings, as they were some time ago and there wasn't enough interest, attention, and documentation to make them big news events. However, as you get closer to the present you will note that you will find much more information. I suggest always trying to switch up your google searches, so don't stop at "ICANN 2", look for "ICANN 2 Germany", "ICANN Germany 1998", etc. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==Update==
Thanks for updating me. I hope to have time to take a look at your more recent efforts soon so I can provide further feedback to help you with the rest of the work. Best, [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==ICANN 5 article==
Steven,
I have edited your [[ICANN 5]] article. As Andrew stated above, it is very important that you include your sources properly in all future articles. The section "Meeting" currently has no references and I do not know where you got this information from. So this needs to be added.
Also please include information from this article in your paragraph about the board meeting:
http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/prelim-report-10mar00-en.htm
Much of the information you included in your article was unnecessary. If you find yourself explaining the exact same thing in all of the articles you are doing, it is better not to include it in any of them. Specific information is better than general information.
Please compare the article after my edits ([[ICANN 5|here]]) to the version that you wrote ([http://icannwiki.com/index.php?title=ICANN_5&oldid=54409 here]). Let me know if you have any questions. [[User:Caterina|Caterina]]
