General
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.com be original.
Citation
When linking references, make sure the coding lies behind the punctuation. For example: .<ref>[url SITENAME]</ref>
When listing the reference, use the name of the website instead of the condensed URL (LinkedIn vs. linkedin.com).
When citing an entire summarized paragraph, the citation should go at the end of the paragraph. If there are multiple citations within a sentence or a paragraph, the citation should go after the piece of information it references.
