Good Work![[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==Done==
I have corrected the photo issues and also edited the 4 articles without AM, so that they look clean. These were the articles I directly transferred from icannwiki.org, so I thought that they were alright and needed no formatting.
Inform me if you need any more changes.[[User:Abyss|Abyss]]
==Done!==
Hi, done with editing Geir Rasmussen, German Valdez and Ginger Paque. I don't know if Hagen Hultzsch was copied or not. I transferred it directly from icannwiki.org. I think the article looks beautiful after I have divided it into sections. If you still want me to edit it, I can. But, the article I re-write will be short as usual. I guess it is better to leave it as it is because large articles are hard to come by.
Inform me if you need any more edits.[[User:Abyss|Abyss]]
One last thing! I was hoping you could do a quick run through and just google each person's name to see if there is more information available for inclusion. I marked 3 or so that have more information available. We don't pretend that the stuff from the old site was perfect/complete, so I get the sense that there is some more stuff available on a good handful of these people. So, just a google search of the person's name - or their name along with their company name or just "ICANN"-may turn up some useful stuff. Thanks, let me know what you find! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
Hi, I would like to know if you want me to run through all the 50 articles or the 3 articles you have marked. [[User:Abyss|Abyss]]
If you could, start after my last one marked (#15) and then do some more searching for the rest of the Batch. I checked the ones up through number 15 and picked out those 3 ones for you to add to. Please do those three and find any remaining articles that have the potential for more info. Thanks [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
Hi, done with googling and finding additional information relating the people to ICANN. Edited the 3 articles from #1 to #14 previously and done with editing #15 to #50 today. [[User:Abyss|Abyss]]
Thanks, I'll let Ray know you're clear for payment. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
Thanks!! [[User:Abyss|Abyss]]
==Starting New Batch==
I just wanted to encourage you to dig deep as you start this new batch. You are clearly very capable of doing good work, and if you would be able to put in that extra effort while you write the articles instead of after I point out the errors at the end then you'd get payments quicker and we'd both have less back and forth work. So, please make an effort to do some good searching for extra materials rather than just relying solely on the material from the old .org site. Also, if some material on the .org site looks too good to be true, put the sentences into Google to see if they are copied and pasted from another source.
Be well and good luck with the next batch! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
Yeah. Sure, will do so.[[User:Abyss|Abyss]]
==Notice==
To all writers: Can you start marking the 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. It is important that you begin following this new rule immediately. Be well, Stay in touch, [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
== Jordyn Buchanan ==
I think you've got [[Bruce Tonkin]]'s picture on Jordyn's page ... [[User:Ray|Ray]]
Ohh! Sorry didn't know that. Couldn't find his single image so replaced it with Portrait Coming.jpg.[[User:Abyss|Abyss]]
No worries :-)
==Done==
I am done with all the 50 articles and also edited James Seng and Ai-chin lu. [[User:Abyss|Abyss]]
==New Conference Section==
I've built you a list of people from the conference, and also a company as of now. Please search these people and build whatever you can, some have old pages from the old site (ken stubbs..his needs to be fixed) and others don't. IF there is nothing available please still build a page with the name and then make a mark next to the name on the Conference Section list. Let me know if any of this doesn't make sense! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==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! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
I was out of town, so couldn't respond immediately. I have tried it now and i get the captcha box and it works too.[[User:Abyss|Abyss]]
==Changes==
Hi Abyss, 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]]
==Editing==
I hope to finish editing your last batch today. Two consistent issues:
# Start every article with the person's name in '''bold''', you tend to forget the bolding, a small issue but it helps.
# It seems you need to work on pronoun use and switching up how you refer to a person to make an article more readable. I don't know if this will be difficult, please let me know if you need more guidance than what is already written on your user page.
Your articles are good, and I we'll both benefit in taking some time to work on your pronoun use to make your written english more engaging. Good work! Thanks for your attention to these matters. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
* Also, when someone has attended multiple ICANN meetings, you can just say: "John Doe is a regular attendee of ICANN meetings" and then use multiple references to lead to the different registration lists. Listing which ones they attended is only nec. for people with very little information as a type of content filler.
I have a problem with using pronouns. The ones I am using now are also being used by me with difficulty. Any help/suggestions in this regard will be highly appreciated.[[User:Abyss|Abyss]]
==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.
Thanks,
[[User:Caterina|Caterina]]
==Hello?==
I feel like we've been waiting on you to self-edit your last batch for awhile now, are you still there?! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
Sorry, but I didn't know that I had edits to do. Anyways [[James Seng]] and [[Ai-chin lu]] were edited before itself and I have edited [[Johannes K. Chiang]], [[John L Clarke III]], [[Jon Peterson]], [[Jonathan Rosenberg]] and [[Juan Diego Calle]] now.
Great. next time please respond to the edits directly on your user page, They still look the same to me and It's hard to see when you write on your own page! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
Okay, so thanks for taking care of those edits, but there are two pages that still need to be developed given the sources you have. Please let me know when you've had a chance to fix this! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==Update==
Haven't seen you on the site in awhile? I hope you still have time to work on your batch soon. Be well, -A
Extending your vWorker deadline. Please update me on when we will be seeing your work again! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
I just saw your note that you are out of town. Thanks. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==Photo Uploader==
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.
Good to see you on the site! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
Thanks!! Great that you are not angry with me :). Done with NameJet.com too.[[User:Abyss|Abyss]]
NameDrive.com's already there as [[NameDrive]]. Could you please eliminate those repetitions from the list. I start working on them and later find out that they already exist. They are such a waste of time.[[User:Abyss|Abyss]]
I have removed those from your list, please feel free to go to my user page and select any articles under the ".org" section, you will see a number of red links. Thanks.[[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==We're Back!==
We're back and looking forward to you completing your batch. Please keep up the work and keep me updated on your progress and any issues. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
I have completed editing [[European Commission]], [[DiploFoundation]], [[James Seng]] and [[Joe Kraus]]. With this I have completed all the edits. [[User:Abyss|Abyss]]
