==Content Originality and Neutrality==
When writing an article, the best practice is to read your sources and then summarize them to the best of your ability. Do not simply copy and paste what you have read. It is imperative that the content on [[ICANNWiki|ICANNWiki.org]] be original. We also expect that the writing should be from a neutral point of view. Remember, these are simply articles ''about'' the topic, they should contain neither praise nor insult.

When you have noted the country in the country field in either the Company or People template, the category for that country will appear automatically. You only need to add the country category manually if you have not used either template. Please, only list '''countries''' in the countries section of the template. If there are multiple countries, list nothing in the countries field, and put in the categories manually.
If you have any questions of which category to use for a certain entity, please ask.
