Hi, I'm an editor for the site. Welcome! Ray forwarded me your spreadsheet of terms, and it seems to me that all of the terms you were missing can be found in this acronym database: http://www.andalucia.com/icann/ Please take a look and let me know if anything is still missing. Thanks. Caterina

To all writers: Can you start marking each and every page you work on with UNDER CONSTRUCTION, when Caterina, Ray, or myself have edited and checked off on the page we will remove it. Thanks! Andrew

UPDATE: We've created an image that will make the "Under Construction" process easier: Please insert [[Image:UnderConstruction.png]] as the first text in every article you make. Thanks for putting up with the notes as we perfect this process. Be well, Stay in touch, Andrew

ADR

Great start! I've gone through and edited it. The only problems I came across were that the article was a bit unclear about the AAA (you say ADRs are "controlled" by them -- do you mean that the AAA is the ONLY organization that may use ADR? Or that it first invented ADR?) and the gTLD-MoU Administrative Domain Name Challenge Panels (what are these?). Both areas could use a little elaboration.

The other problem I found was in the citation. Every bit of information should be referenced. I see that you put a few references below the reflist tag, but this is not good enough. They must be embedded within the article. If an entire paragraph or section comes from a single reference, you can place the citation at the end of the paragraph/section. Or, if a paragraph/section is a summary of multiple sources, you may last multiple references in a row, so that they look like this: [1][2] in the article. Additionally, none of your referenced links worked. The one from gtld-mou.org doesn't load, and the others do not direct to a page with information about ADR. It is also best to avoid using Wikipedia as a reference. You can look at it to get an idea of the term, and you can use the references that it uses, but try not to use Wikipedia itself as a reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Caterina

Hi, I've taken a look at the articles you directed me to. The ADR article is still unclear in the section about gTLD-MoU's involvement with it. Additionally, the source link for that doesn't work. The ECTA article was fine. The DOC article could use a section on how it relates to ICANN and the domain name industry, and the FCC article needs clarification in the section about strategic goals, as I noted on the Articles needed page. Caterina

I haven't been able to find any suitable information on ACP either. It may happen from time to time that you won't be able to find any good sources for a term. When that happens, note the problem on the terms list, and then substitute the term for one listed under the "Glossary/ Company/ Heavily Linked terms" section on the Articles needed page. Thanks. Caterina

Hi, just wanted to let you know that you do not need to notify me when you've finished an article, as I can see when the links turn blue on the Articles needed page. Please do notify me when you're done with the full batch. As far as images go, I do not know what you mean by creating a new page for the image, but you may use images in the articles. The coding is: [[Image:name.png|thumb|right|image description]] When you use this thumbnail code, clicking on the image will take you to the image's page and the image will be viewable in its full size.

Technical Difficulties

Can you run a test? Can you try and insert in an external link to a given page, try it on my page: Andrew Merriam, and just insert a link to any external site. You should get the "captcha" box where you type in some garbled words to prove your a human being and then the link should go through. Does this work for you? Can you see the captcha box? One of our writers is not able to see the captcha box so if you could please run this test asap and get back to me on my talk page that'd be great. Thanks! Andrew

Replacement articles

Go ahead. Like last time, please make note of it on the Articles needed page. Caterina
