User talk:Marie Cabural

Hey marie! I'm an editor for the site... it seems your trying to figure out how to work the site. Please use my talk/discussion page if you need to ask any questions. But for starters it seems you mean to be placing that information regarding .jobs on a page other than you own user page. Your user page is for information pertaining to you!

So to create a new page you fill in the end of the URL with the desired new page. so, for example, you want to create a page for Apple you would enter http://icannwiki.com/index.php/ into your address bar, and then the desired page directly after the last backspace so it would read: http://icannwiki.com/index.php/Apple you then have the option to create the page, (by entering text).. so you can then import the business template by copying and pasting from here.. and then let me know what questions come up next! Andrew

Hi Andrew Thanks for your assistance. My questions is, How to link the page for example to ICANN?

Hi Marie, I'm another of the editors. You can link to internal pages like this: [[article name]], like [[ICANN]]. If you want to make the link read something different than the article name, it's like this: [[ICANN|Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers]] Caterina Edit - kind of hard to see, but that's a | between ICANN and the full name.

EU ADR

Okay, I'm going to make some sytlistic changes to your article you should take note of. Also, could you start the article off with a strong definition of .EU ADR, what that stands for, and what it is. As it is now I'm confused how it is related to EURid, and the CAC. Thanks, be in touch Andrew

Referencing needs to be addressed as well. Look at the edit page for any article and you will see how this is done. generally speaking, after the period of the sentence that needs to be you have to put in ref tags. which read like this:

"This statement needs to be referenced".<ref>[www.thisisthereference.com The Reference]</ref>

so the ref tags on either side enclose the source inside of brackets, the space between the site and "The reference" is nec. to provide a shorthand for the reference, in this way the shorthand "The Reference" will replace www.thisisthereference.com in the reflist.

The reflist is then introduced under the References section that is written: {{reflist}}

This may have been very confusing so it might just help to look at a few random pages and to mess around with it on your .EU ADR page. Andrew

Further Edits

So as I work through your article I'm going to keep a list going of edits I'm making and why, this way you'll catch on to our goals for the site much quicker. Please check out the "View History" tab on the top of the page for .EU ADR, that way you can see how the article changed to get to its current state.

-In general bolding should be used to highlight the term at the beginning of the article, it is not needed that much afterwards. Sometimes they are helpful in lists though, which you used in the list of people that are a part of the CAC board. In this instance though, the people should be internally linked using a double bracket on each side (i.e., [[ICANN]] because we want to build the site, and having new people linked in will allow us to eventually create pages for them. Bolding would have been the right decision if it were a list of an individual's previous position or something that doesn't have any need to be linked but should stand out.

-In the above referencing tips I used "The reference" as an example, I didn't mean for you to actually copy those terms! So, your reference for <ref>[http://www.eurid.eu/en/content/icann-board-approve-agreement-eurid The Reference]</ref> shouldn't look like that but should instead look like <ref>[http://www.eurid.eu/en/content/icann-board-approve-agreement-eurid Eurid.eu]</ref> note the difference: I put in a shorthand version of the site (Eurid.eu), this will be the term that appears as a clickable link the the reference section, that way you don't have 'The Reference" as your link, or the whole URL "http://www.eurid.eu/en/content/icann-board-approve-agreement-eurid" but instead have an accurate shorthand- Eurid.eu. Also, don't forget to create a references section and then use {{reflist}} to automatically create the list - that is, you don't have to add the references in the bottom because if you do the right wiki citations it will create the list for you!

-You're going to need to add a few more references. Statements such as "The CAC was established in 1949 under the Economic Chamber of the Czech Republic and Agricultural Chamber of the Czech Republic located in Prague" need to be back up by a reference, it is clear that this information goes above and beyond basic knowledge and as an author you need to let the reader know where you're drawing your information from.

-I removed the bold in your headers and changed them from 3rd level to 2nd level (==Header Example==) this is just how every article has been written before, so while it may seem arbitrary it will help the site retain the same overall aesthetic. Though I did use a third level heading for the last section, "The CAC Advisory Board" because it fits in nicely as a subset of the previous section "The CAC", both aesthetically and thematically.

SO! while I know this has been a process for you, after take a stab at fixing the references in the article already, and adding a few more where necessary, this article can then be considered complete. Thanks so much, and I'm sure you'll get the hang of it very soon!Please write on my Discussion page if you have any questions, it can be found by clicking my linked name. Andrew

Thank you for all the information and assistance, yes it's been a process for me but because of your help I'm getting the hang of it and hopefully I'd be able to upload more articles soon. Again thank you very much.
