Reflist edit

I am trying to add the refrences at the bottom in this article Alejandro Pisanty but it is not working can you please check what is wrong with it. Muhammad Ali Khalid

Change of articles needed edit

I understand that the letter R on Articles needed marks the completion of an article. I have changed the R's against my articles, because some of the articles, you marked with R are not complete. I have to do some editing and the facebook and linkedin changes in them. Muhammad Ali Khalid

When I saw those unedited articles right now, I noticed that you have already completed them. Thanks.

Completing articles edit

aye aye Captain...!! :-)

Getting, my feet wet, trying to get the hang of this. Should I be communicating here, in this manner? That melody page was just a weird one to get first. Cheers, Andrew Merriam

Help with this article = edit

Jeremy Hitchcock, I have uploaded the caricature for this file but I do not know why, it is not showing the picture. I have checked the file name and stuff. Please check it. Muhammad Ali Khalid

Thanks...!!

Pictures edit

You have mentioned in the instructions that it is good to resize the picture, but you have not mentioned the ideal desired size. What size should the pictures be? Please mention the desired dimension of the pictures in pixels. Muhammad Ali Khalid

Thank you for informing me. Muhammad Ali Khalid

Done edit

Check completed for the country category and caricatures Muhammad Ali Khalid

Checking Categories edit

Are you talking about the new batch or the previous batch? For the new batch, all have categories except Liz Williams, Monty Moose and Joan Francesc Gras. For the previous batch, I will add right now. Muhammad Ali Khalid

I have checked the categories for the last batch also. One thing, I noticed while editing them is that some of the articles have category is this format (Category:People|Name of the Person). Should all the articles have it in the same way? Let me know and I'll change them. Muhammad Ali Khalid

Yes, we should make them consistent, thanks Ray


What do you have in mind when you say "check categories" Andrew

Ray, I was waiting for you answer on my page, thought to check it here, found it. :) I will fix the categories.

Andrew, Are you asking it from Ray or from me? Muhammad Ali Khalid

I have changed all the categories to (Category:People|Name of the Person) format. Muhammad Ali Khalid

Logos edit

I guess it would make sense to respond on your talk page, eh, I'm planning on going back and adding all the logos in the next day I'll let you know if I have problems.

Batch 4 edit

Yes, sorry, I think I somehow deleted them. Fixed it now :)

Blanking articles edit

Actually, sometimes I start writing an article but then realize that there are not many resources about them, or some of the resources about them conflict with each other. So, I remove the content from the page and take up some other article. Muhammad Ali Khalid

Alexander Phoenix edit

Haha, just playing around a bit between doing different pages. Love doing stuff on this site  :)


Some Interesting Ideas (Alexander Phoenix) edit

Hi Ray. In trying to move articles from Icannwiki.org to Icannwiki.com, I've encountered several (to me) serious issues, and I've been thinking about how to resolve them effectively, and I have a few ideas. If you've already tried these things, as I dare say you have, my sincere apologies.

In a great many cases, as you know, articles on Icannwiki.org are completely non-existent except for a name, a picture and a caricature. Of course you intend to correct this situation, but of course it probably isn't cost effective for you to hire people to write all these articles. So what I was thinking is why not get people to write their articles themselves? Why not send each person featured on the site an email, telling them about Icannwiki (if they don't know about it, that is) and hinting to them (in a subtle manner) that it would be a matter of prestige and publicity (for them) to have a proper bio of themselves on the site. I think a great many people would respond with all the information you could possibly need - after all, just how much effort does it take to mail a resume - most people have such things handy.

Best of all, people's resumes are usually carefully categorized, making setting up the resulting articles on ICANNWiki relatively easy.

If copyright issues are a concern, you can include a little legal form for them to sign that gives you the right to put the material they supply you with on the site.

Now this is just a tentative idea. It seems to me that there's a considerable motive here for people to want to be featured on ICANNWiki.com, and perhaps we could just use this to build up the site, instead of hiring mercenaries (albeit reasonably clever ones) like myself  :)

Actually, I take a great interest in ICANNWiki, hence this suggestion. I don't at all mean to be interfering in any way. If, as I more than suspect, you've already tried this, then my apologies. I just thought I'd put it to you, there's no harm in discussing ideas.

Thanks for hearing me out. Take care and have a great day,

- Alex

Some Interesting Ideas, continued edit

Hi Ray, thanks for hearing me out, and for your interest. Actually, I didn't think that many people would edit their own pages at this stage of the site's development, but only that they might provide information about themselves more efficiently (and reliably) than it can be obtained from sources on the net, which information would have to be input into the site by ICANNwiki's own writers. The same applies to companies or any other entity that ICANNwiki chooses to cover. An alternate approach might be to give selected writers the power to contact people directly in ICANNwiki's name, asking for information, resumes, etc. They could be given a standard writeup or message format to use to standardize this approach. Anyway, just rough concepts. Now I'd better get back to work!  :) - Alex

Random edit

Is it possible to integrate the twitter information field into the company template? Andrew

auto category edit

Glad you like it- the only thing is it shows up first in the category list at the bottom - not sure if that is desired. Best, MarkDilley

General edit

I wasn't gone anywhere... was just busy with some other project. and just so you know.. its GREAT to be back here..:-) Muhammad Ali Khalid

An Idea Clicked edit

Was just doing work on the articles and an Idea clicked.. so I thought that I should share it.. before I forget it :D.. Em Not sure if you are already working on it or have it in mind.. I think.. there should be a page for the members and the chairs of the big groups that matter to ICANN like the IAB... a page that lists all the members in a chronological order... here... like this

Bert's Request edit

Bert here told me that he badly needs a caricature... and he is also asking for a good photo, probably one in which he is wearing GUCCI or ARMANI...Muhammad Ali Khalid

:-)

Menu Area edit

Sitewide Notice edit

Page Problem edit

I accidentally created Sandeep Ramchandani as Sandeep Ramchandanii with a double ii. When I move the page from the double i to single i, it has been redirected. Please fix it, you can delete the ii page. Muhammad Ali Khalid

done, just deleted the one with two ii's Ray

Just noticed edit

Sam Bazzi redirected Sam Bazzi page to the main page.

From Lahore edit

-) .. Not heard about Fouad Riaz Bajwa but I have heard about Sarmad Hussain, a friend of mine studies at the University of Engineering and Technology (U.E.T), once heard from him. Its nice to see people here from my own hometown.. :-) Muhammad Ali Khalid

This is frustrating edit

Aren't we supposed to replace profile with a link, once we have created one here? It happens very frequently that when I find some good content about someone, there is already a profile here on icannwiki.com... Would you please ask others to replace the older profile with the new link? Thanks Tehreem

Lahorians edit

A new writer from Lahore? The idea of a group for lahorians is neat...!! :-)Muhammad Ali Khalid

Template edit

Was planning on it (after finishing the updates). :) Caterina

I deleted spam at 11:30ish, no problems. Didn't work for me this morning until just now. Andrew

I have got an email for a private auction. Is that from you? I cannot accept it as I am not a native English speaker and its fluency is filtered so. Tehreem

List of Companies edit

Hi Ray, I just want to inform you that some of the companies assigned to me seem no longer exist.

  1. Esoftwiz, de-accredited by ICANN
  2. finestnames.com- the domain is for sale...should i still create a page for this?
  3. Geosign Corporation- went out of business
  4. Interactive Communications Florida based company website does not exist
  1. IBM- I already wrote the company profile from the first batch
  2. ICA and Melbourne IT- pages have been already created by other writers

Another thing, JotSpot has been acquired by Google and they launched it as Google Sites.

Thanks Marie

Hi Ray, I've been experiencing technical problems uploading photo. Whenever I upload a company logo I received warning which reads, The upload directory (public) is not writable by the web server. I don't know what to do. Please help me. Thanks! Marie
