User talk:Muhammad Ali Khalid

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 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! 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? 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 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 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? 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. TedErnst 16:42, 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 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. Ray

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 :-) 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 :-) Ray

Hi

Placeholder pics

Ali, you're right, let's be more consistent, so we now have:

New editor on the project

FYI, Andrew Merriam 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. Ray
