, 13 years agono edit summary
Here in ICANNWiki we are trying to build a encyclopedia of wiki articles written about people who are or were somehow related to ICANN, Domain and IT industry. These articles are categorized as people and we will call them as people article. We already have a list of people in the [http://icannwiki.org/Portal:ICANNWiki/People ICANNWiki.org] and you can start from there.
Here at [[ICANNWiki]] we are trying to build a encyclopedia of wiki articles written about people, companies and other items that are or were related to ICANN and the Domain industry. This article is specifically about creating people articles.
== Steps ==
# Identify a person article to move from [http://www.icannwiki.org ICANNWiki.org], there are currently over 1,500 that need to be moved, which can be found here [http://icannwiki.org/Portal:ICANNWiki/People people articles on ICANNWiki.org]. Ideally, we'd first move people that have:
## Both a portrait picture and a caricature
## We can find at least a one paragraph bio either from ICANNWiki.org or other source
## We can find at least one contact point (Twitter, FB, e-mail, etc.)
# Search for Profile pages and other information out on the web:
## Twitter (get the person's @___ handle)
## Facebook (get the URL for the person's public Facebook page)
## LinkedIn (get the URL for the person's public LinkedIn page)
## Look for the person's e-mail address
## Look to see if the person has a personal website or blog, etc. (other than their main company website)
## Try to determine the person's current country of residence
# Download the person's portait and caricature from ICANNWiki.org. Click on the the images(s) in ICANNWiki.org first, doing so will expand the image to it's full resolution. Download the maximum resolution image, then upload those images to ICANNWiki.com using the upload file menu option.
# Create a page on ICANNWiki.com, use the [[:Template:People|People Template]]
# Migrate and update the person's bio, reading what's on Linked in may help here
# Replace the original article on ICANNWiki.org with a redirect
# Here's a sample of one that is complete
## New article on ICANNWiki.com [[Jon Nevett]]
## Old article on ICANNWiki.org [http://icannwiki.org/Jon_Nevett Jon Nevett Redirected now]
== Extra Credit ==
# Resize the portrait and caricature so that they match in height when presented in the infobox. I think this may require some adjustment before they are uploaded.
== Keep in mind ==
# When uploading images, make sure they have the person's name as in "JohnDoePortrait.JPG" or "JohnDoeCaricature.JPG". If you just upload "Portrait.JPG", then we will be overwriting each other soon. Other image file types such as .PNG are fine.
# When entering an e-mail address, replace the "@" with "_[at]_". This is to thwart e-mail spammers.
# When doing research to make sure you have the right person, look for company associations, pictures which you can match, etc. to make sure you have the right person
# If there are any citations (external references), use the ref tags (look at company articles to see how these work, or ask and I'll guide)
