* 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.

** Sometimes logos are well defined images and you can just "drag" them off, and other times you may need to "crop" it off the page. This is easy with a Mac, just use the keyboard shortcut (Command-Shift-4). Not sure how to do that on a PC...
** 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.

* 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.

* When entering key people, try to get 2-5 key people. If there are 20 you don't need to list them all, that's probably overkill. Also, there is little space in the infobox, so shorten people's titles to make them fit better, so "Executive Vice President" becomes [[EVP]]
* Add <nowiki>[[Category:Company]]</nowiki> to the bottom of the page to categorize the article as a company
* If the company is a Registrar or Registry, then add <nowiki>[[Category:Registrars]]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Category:Registries]]</nowiki>
