Getting Started

  • Create a user account
  • Please feel free to experiment, it's a wiki and pretty much everything can always be corrected. The Sandbox is a great place to play around.

Creating Neutral Content

  • Write from a Neutral Point of View (NPOV)
  • Do not include promotional material; the point is to educate not sell

Licensing

  • It is ok to use images that are in the public domain or under a creative commons license. It is also ok to use company logos.
  • It is also ok to use content from ICANNWiki.org (the older version of this site), but much of it has been written from a promotional point of view and will need to be converted to NPOV.
  • Do not copy text or images from other websites; writing must be original. It is fine to read, understand and then create your own content.

Linking

  • Using an internal link is always good, so, as an example, instead of defining an acronym like this "ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers)", just use "[[ICANN]]" and then we'll define ICANN on that page.
