Welcome

Hi Dana, Welcome to the site. I work with Ray out in Portland as an editor for the site. Please come to me with any questions regarding formatting/ content/ references/ anything! I know you're going to be tackling the glossary terms, which will be a big help. I'll be putting together some example pages for this type of article- and will hope to have that available to you shortly. Until then, feel free to start figuring things out. Andrew

Testing Testing

Great work at jumping right into a complex article. I feel like you covered a lot of important ground and showed some good decision making with the way you set up the page. One important issue: Reference(s)! I'll expect that you can add references to reflect where you received your information from for this page and all future pages. Great work and initiative. Andrew

So, While I haven't put up the examples of Glossary specific articles yet I have made an important change to your DNSSEC article, I added a section to specifically deal with ICANN's involvement with DNSSEC. While it is not conclusive, it gives some more context to how it affects the rest of ICANN.. I don't know how I feel about the sectioning, with the weird separation bar and all, but it still makes the article even better. So, in lieu of not having more examples, take these edits as making your own article that much more of an "example". Cool. More aids/examples to come tomorrow. Andrew

References

Yes, references will still be needed for the DNSSEC article. Ideally, every section should have at least one reference. I'll be sure to put that article on the example page once it has those. Andrew

It seems that you may need to take a look at how to use reference tags. Check out any other article. the references are done like this.^[1]

..that may have been confusing but I'm sure if you look at a page you'll get it.

-then.. a references section is put at the bottom- you did this- with only the bracketed "reflist", which will automatically create a numbered section for you- no need to write it out yourself.

-So.. following a period, enter in the <ref> open tag, then bracket [    .. then enter the source... make a space and explain the site so it doesn't show the entire URL (i,e LinkedIn), then close bracket  ]  .. then close the ref tags with </ref>    ...that may have been confusing but I'm sure if you look at a page you'll get it.
