I think you've shown a great first effort and I look forward to more work from you. Please just continue to build substantial articles. I'll do some final edits once you get those references in there and address those other issues.

Thanks, I can't wait to see more articles like those ones. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]

== 2nd batch Editing ==
The process of editing is slow since i am involved in some other work. But i will be finishing editing and tiding up the articles before 13th. I hope that is ok. --[[User:Pulasthi|Pulasthi]] 06:44, 9 February 2011 (PST)
Great, no rush as long as you're turning in solid articles. We'd rather have you take your time and get a better result than rush through. I appreciate the update. Be well, [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
Thanks for the update, I've taken a quick glance at a few and so far so good. I will start actually editing in just a bit, and I'll get back to you in the next few days. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==Final Edits==
Looks good overall, thanks for the hard work; however, there are just a few pages I was hoping you could take one last look at- I've marked them on your user page. Let me know when you're ready to do another batch! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
== Work in progress ==
I like the "Under Construction" sign! Solves the problem we were discussing [[User:Ray|Ray]]
==3rd Batch==
Great. Thanks for the hard work. It will be a few days before I am able to completely check your work/begin to get you feedback. However, if you think that any of my edit critiques from the previous batches may apply to this one -please take the time now to do some personal editing. We'll be in touch. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
Caterina and I have finished going over your batch, many of them are now fine, others need work. We've left notes next to the ones that need to be fixed. It's mostly copy and paste and reference issues, and while I realize these problems may be originating from the old .org site, these are the types of problems that can be recognized and avoided with just some google searching. Drop us a line with any questions/ let us know when you're done. Thanks for everything. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
Re: your discussion with Andrew: the problem with copying and pasting from the old site is that standards for articles were much lower then, and a lot of that content has been copied from elsewhere. I find that it is best to assume the content isn't original and use it only as a starting point, even if the article seems good. [[User:Caterina|Caterina]]
The notes can be found next to each name in your articles needed section (Community portal --> Articles that are being worked on now---> Your designated section) We have your batch copied there, and the ones that are all ok have just initials next to them (AM or CP), if it says something like "Copy and Paste issues" then that will need to be resolved. Ray was able to get you paid, so I hope you can still finish off your batch to our standards. Thanks! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
I was wondering when you were going to be available to work on these unfinished articles?[[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
More unexpected delays? We don't want you to disappear from the site! We want to work with you again as soon as you finish the second round of editing for the batch we've paid you for. Keep me updated, thanks, be well, [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==Notice==
To all writers: Can you start marking the very top of each and every page you work on with <span style="color:#ff0000"><big>'''UNDER CONSTRUCTION'''</big></span>, when Caterina, Ray, or myself have edited and checked off on the page we will remove it. Thanks! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
'''UPDATE''': We've created an image that will make the "Under Construction" process easier: Please insert <nowiki>[[Image:UnderConstruction.png]]</nowiki> 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, [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==Changes==
Hi Pulasthi, 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]]
==Unfinished Batch==
Welcome back, Pulasthi! While I'm glad your break was not a permanent one, it seems that you left some unfinished work from you last batch that you had agreed to bring up to standard (see above in your talk page). Please address the issues in Batch 3 that are noted on your user page. It is important that you bring all work to completion, thanks, [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==Style Guidelines==
I've been updating the [[Style Guidelines]] to specifically address issues that our new writers face, please take a look at it and let me know of any suggestions you have. Also I'd like to bring to all of our writers' attention the section on Forwarding Links:
"It is the writer's responsibility to wipe the old pages from icannwik.ORG and create links to the new icannwiki.COM. An example of this can be seen [http://icannwiki.org/Patrick_Kane here]. Explain in similar terms that the site is moving, that this particular article has been moved, and then point to it with a link. Something like: "'''ICANNWiki.org is being moved to ICANNWiki.com, this article has already been moved can can be found [(link) here]'''"."
Also, please take note of the rule below, it also addresses the procedure for wiping and linking from the old site that we will expect from everyone from now on. Thanks for you attention to this, we're trying to get a clearer system in place so please follow these new rules as you continue working. Thanks for your patience as we get this all systemized and explained! So,:
'''The wiped page should contain the disclaimer & link to the new site but it should also contain the category "ICANNWiki.com" (with that exact spelling and capitalization). As you know, the formatting for this is: <nowiki>[[Category:ICANNWiki.com]]</nowiki>. This is the only category that the wiped pages need, it should no longer contain a "People" category. This will help us to track our progress of moving over the old site.'''
==Company Template Changes==
Hi writers,We've updated the Company template. Please make note of the changes, and pay attention to the specific formatting. We'd like the appearance of the template to be as standardized as possible. Do not delete empty fields, as they will not show up anyway. I have gone through all of the old company articles and changed them to the new template.
Additionally, if you are writing an article about an organization (sometimes these are categorized as "glossary" or "company" to begin with), please use the company template when the organization has a logo. If it does not have a logo, you do not need to use the template.
Thanks,
[[User:Caterina|Caterina]]
==Welcome Back==
I'm glad to see your back on the site! Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the edits we expect of you on the old batch. Yes, there has been a lot of work going on to move all the articles from the old site to the new- and there are few articles left, and many of them do not have much info. Do your best, if they don't attend ICANN meetings that's okay - as long as they have something to do with the IT/Internet world.
Also, please be aware that we have started to pay less for "stub" articles. These are articles that are very short/ do not have references. Please collect stubs separately from your actual batch. This way you will have 50 good articles, and then however number of stubs - which you will be bonused for. We do this because stubs take very little time to make. If you want to see what a stub looks like, there are some marked out on [[User:Dana_Silvia|Dana's user page]]. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==Company Articles==
Okay, Here are 20 articles, 15 of which you will need to choose to write articles for. They are being moved from the .org site, so please wipe and redirect the articles on the old site as you know. Let me know of any other help you need [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]

Attn: The photo uploader is now working. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==Sorry==
I am reworking the assigned batches to eliminate duplicates. Sorry for the inconvenience, I will keep you updated as I make any significant changes to your assignment. If you don't have enough articles I am in the process of completing your list.
==Update?==
How are you doing? Let me know if your having any issues, I look forward to seeing your batch complete. Thanks! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
