**Given that Google will help us define the term we can use that as the starting point. Searching for "TLD" will give us plenty of results that all define the term in a similar manner, read a few of these definitions, compose an original definition ('''Do not simply copy and paste'''), and cite one of the sources you used as a reference.

**Now, we have a definition of [[TLD]], but so does every other website.. so let's aim for something more substantial.
**Now, we have a definition of [[TLD]], but so does every other website.. so let's aim for something more substantial.
*A greater '''body''' will fill out the article. '''This will provide more examples, further clarification, or general background for the term'''.
**For [[TLD]] we can add sections about the various types of [[TLD]]s. This is important. By adding similar or related terms as internal links we are improving the site by building content and creating inter-linked pages.
**The background of [[TLD]] is an important aside, and once you have defined the term you will probably realize that a history section is important for this term. Source material can be found by clarifying your original source further, like searching "TLD History".
**You may find recent developments within ICANN regarding the term. In this instance there are new expansions being made to [[ccTLD]]s, and while much of the information may be more appropriate on the actual [[ccTLD]] page, including a brief mention here will further build the interconnectivity of the site and also provide current conversations taking place in ICANN regarding the [[TLD]] term.
==References==
Don't forget that each article needs references, preferably from a variety of reputable sources!
