| ==Re: Checking Articles==
| | _NOTOC_ |
| Great. Thanks, Ali.
| |
| | |
| I've noticed in editing your articles that the text seems to be mostly copied and pasted from the sources. It would be best if you could instead read the sources and then summarize them to the best if your ability. It makes the ICANNWiki site look more legitimate. [[User:Caterina|Caterina]]
| |
| | |
| With ICANNWiki.com, we're trying to adhere to a higher standard than was done with the .org site. So although many of the articles on the .org site were simply copied and pasted, we want only original content on the .com site. Thanks.
| |
| | |
| ==Directi==
| |
| | |
| Great, you'll now want to delete the Directi article from the main talk (discussion) page
| |
| | |
| Also, please think about what should be in the "reference" section of the company articles. I.e. they should probably be external references. See Wikipedia company articles for examples. Thx [[User:Ray|Ray]]
| |
| | |
| == [[Public Interest Registry]] ==
| |
| | |
| I made some edits to the [[Public Interest Registry]] including moving it from [[Pir.org]] where you started it. Could you please take a look and let me know what you think? Thanks! [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] 22:14, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

| : Do you know about the history function? Take a look: http://icannwiki.com/index.php?title=Public_Interest_Registry&action=history
| |
| : Two other people edited it after me. It now needs more formatting work, but take a look at it when I finished with it (http://icannwiki.com/index.php?title=Public_Interest_Registry&oldid=224). See what I did? Here are my changes: http://icannwiki.com/index.php?title=Public_Interest_Registry&diff=224&oldid=205

| === Formatting references ===
| |
| Ray is looking into the [[:Template:Reflist]] but it's not quite ready yet, so I'd defer formatting references for the moment, and work on other things. Cool? [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] 17:46, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

| == using talk pages ==
| |
| | |
| almost ... add to my talk (discussion) page (vs. my user page) and the system will alert me that you've sent me a message, also you can "sign" your message by adding three tilde's at the end [[User:Ray|Ray]]
| |
| | |
| == Directi ==
| |
| | |
| got your note, please feel free to work on the [[Directi]] article until you feel you've done what you can. Leave the PIR article alone for now since someone else is working on that and I want to give them a chance to get it right. Thx [[User:Ray|Ray]]
| |
| | |
| == Dotster Article ==
| |
| | |
| Two thoughts:
| |
| * Can you make the article as [[NPOV]] as possible. i.e. when I read "Web and 'Happy Hour' is our way of giving back", I assume that this is text copied from their website and in their words.
| |
| * Also, is the Happy Hour thing really that significant to take up that much of the article? Have we covered other important facets of the company? [[User:Ray|Ray]]
| |
| | |
| : I made a few edits here as well. Take a look at what I did? http://icannwiki.com/index.php?title=Dotster&action=history Please let me know if you have questions. [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] 16:42, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :: Great! [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] 17:19, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| == Personal Website ==
| |
| You asked "And one more thing, does the website has to be essentially a personal blog of the person or it can be any website owned by the person, like DNForum for Adam Dicker or Ausregistry.com.au for Adrian Kinderis" -- A personal blog or other type of personal site would be great. If that doesn't exist just leave it blank. I think the site that is affiliated with the person's business would naturally be in the bio so let's not overlap the two. Good question, thanks for asking [[User:Ray|Ray]]
| |
| | |
| == References ==
| |
| yes, you're right about my not mentioning the references. and yes, making the content as original, clear and factual as possible is all great. [[User:Ray|Ray]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Muhammad, I've noticed that many of the articles I've come across have not been referenced. If you could begin including refernces in your pages that'd be great. The format for doing so can be found on most pages. I was hoping you could start doing this whenever you bring your next batch over. thanks [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]

| == Completing articles ==
| |
| | |
| ah, sorry i was jumping the gun, will give you more time first :-)
| |
| | |
| == Marking articles ==
| |
| | |
| Ali,
| |
| | |
| Let's do this, when you are done with an article, mark it with an "A". When I've had a chance to review it, I'll mark it also with an "R". I think this will reduce confusion :-) [[User:Ray|Ray]]
| |
| | |
| : :-)
| |
| | |
| == Jeremy Caricature ==
| |
| | |
| I think when you uploaded the pic, it somehow got 2 .jpg extensions, so I just added the other one. Looks weird in the code but works :-) [[User:Ray|Ray]]
| |
| | |
| == Hi ==
| |
| ray [at] aboutus.org, send me an e-mail there [[User:Ray|Ray]]
| |
| | |
| == Placeholder pics ==
| |
| | |
| Ali, you're right, let's be more consistent, so we now have:
| |
| | |
| [[Image:CaricatureComing.jpg|100px]]
| |
| [[Image:PortraitComing.jpg|100px]]
| |
| | |
| == New editor on the project ==
| |
| | |
| FYI, Andrew Merriam [[User:Apm|Apm]] is a Portland based person who has just joined the project. Initially he'll be helping me edit the articles. So I just wanted to give you a heads up so you're not surprised. [[User:Ray|Ray]]
| |
| | |
| Hi Muhammad. I'm excited to work with you and though you may not know it your pages have really been helping me get a handle on the site! I'll try to explain my edits, and thus far it seems like I'm mostly adding references and removing certain bullets. Other changes are just personal aesthetic choices and I'm sure we'll all be going back and forth about the various editing choices available. [[User:Apm|Andrew Merriam]]
| |
| | |
| == Please check ==
| |
| | |
| * Portaits and Caricatures for the people articles you've just completed
| |
| * Category Country for the same
| |
| | |
| Thanks [[User:Ray|Ray]]
| |
| | |
| : Super! Thanks [[User:Ray|Ray]]
| |
| | |
| :: Could you check all of the people articles you've done for category people and country? Thanks [[User:Ray|Ray]]
| |
| | |
| ==Redirect from the ICANNWiki.org site==
| |
| Hi, I continue to appreciate all your work but noticed that you had not redirected from the old article pages at ICANNwiki.org to the .com site for your most recent set of articles. I'll take care of the 4 that you've already brought over. Please don't forget this important step! Thanks. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
| |
| | |
| I thought that might be the case. Thanks for letting me know. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]

| After reviewing the work you've done recently I really want to thank you for your dedication to the project. You've done a great job of bringing over the bulk of the important information. However, I would like to encourage you to dig just a bit deeper in including useful content. Going on past the first or second page of Google search results can turn up some important stuff.

blanking pages
Ali, just wondering why you sometimes blank pages? Ray
- ah, ok, thanks for the explanation :-)
General
Nice to see you back! Ray
- Sure, I meant "back" on the site :-)
An idea clicked
Neat, we're definitely going to have pages for the major groups, constituencies and associations, etc., but hadn't thought of going it chronologically. That solves a problem that has been bugging me for a while, great idea, thanks and we'll use it! Ray
Notice
To all writers: Can you start marking the very top of 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
