# When uploading images, make sure they have the person's name as in "JohnDoePortrait.JPG" or "JohnDoeCaricature.JPG".  If you just upload "Portrait.JPG", then we will be overwriting each other soon.  Other image file types such as .PNG are fine.

# When doing research to make sure you have the right person, look for company associations, pictures which you can match, etc. to make sure you have the right person

Lets take the example of [[Frederick Schiwek]] first.  If you check the [http://icannwiki.org/User:Frederick_Schiwek ICANNWiki.org-article] on Frederick Schiwek, you can see there are the pictures and some summarized information on Frederick Schiwek.
