Guidelines for creating a great article here:

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

Write from a Neutral Point of View (NPOV)
Do not include promotional material from the website
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.
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 a neutral point of view.
using an internal link is always good, so instead of "ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers)", just use "ICANN and then we'll define ICANN on that page.

When uploading a company logo, try to give it a name which includes the name of the company and the word logo, like "ABC-Logo.jpg". If you use just "logo.png" over time some logos will overwrite others.
Use the Company Infobox Template
Put all key people into the infobox
Shorten people's titles to make them fit better, so "Executive Vice President" becomes EVP
