# Try to keep the people articles focused on the people themselves and not their companies. The companies should, sooner or later, have their own page so it is unnec. to write about them on the people profile. If what the company does or is known for helps clarify the work the individual is involved in, then please include it. But if it is just general background that doesn't really add anything about how the person is involved, then leave it out.

Go with Current work Experience, then Prior Work Experience, Important other things (achievements), then education.

# Very small point: When making a header it is best to keep all major words capitalized, so "Professional Experience" would never be "Professional experience".. This is not a big deal and It means nothing for me to fix it, but I get the impression that you are interested in improving all of your written English, so I mention this only for your own personal interest in English. :)
# RE References: You generally explain what your reference is for, which is great, but it is even more important to explain where/what it is. So check out your article for [[Ken Bour]], you have 3 references listed "Past Experiences", "Experiences at ICANN", And "linkedIn Job experience" - I like the last reference most because it explains both where it is on the internet (LinkedIn) and what you got from it (Job experience). The first is the most important, so please always reference the site, and also if there are specific sections on the page then you can clarify "Job experience", etc.
Ok, thanks for the feedback, I will try to keep an objective perspective, I make mistakes sometimes:) I will also add the NOTOC thing. Keep in touch! Dana

Hi Andrew! thanks a lot for the feedback, I appreciate it and I will definitely take it into account. I will keep in mind the things you mentioned regarding the education section, I will avoid using the wikipedia references and I will also make sure to use major words capitalized. If needed, I will make these modifications, because I do not want to make you spend too much time with these modifications as , most probably, you have other important issues to take care :) please let me know if there are any other issues. When you will finish giving feedback I will try to finish the changes and then you can take a 2nd look. Thanks once again for the feedback and advice! Dana
Oh, one more thing: I also created the page "Stephen Smith" - but did not included in the list of articles (because I did not find any information on that person as there are too many Stephen Smith.... and I did not know how to delete the page) - so please delete the page Stephen Smith. Thanks! Dana
==I'm back==
Ah! Sorry to have left you and your work hanging for two days. I promise to have the remaining articles done today, and I also hope to take a quick look back through the ones you've fixed to make sure my comments made sense. I see no reason that you won't be approved and paid very shortly. I assume you would want/be able to do another 50 people articles after that? How does that sound? [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
Hi Andrew! No problem, I understand:) Well, I already opened a new project with Ray for a new batch of 50 articles. I hope I will find enough people to write about.I will take into account all your observations and feedback for the new batch. Keep in touch! Dana
*Remember that it is TWO underscores on each side of the NOTOC command, sorry if this was unclear earlier it's <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> thanks![[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
--> Andrew, should I write __NOTOC__ for all articles? Because for some articles you already wrote "AM" so that it's good articles.. should I change for all articles? Please let me know if yes and I will make the changes. Thanks, Dana.
==Changes==
Hi Dana, please make note of the change in process for keeping track of your batches. There is a note on the [[Articles needed]] page explaining what is different. Thanks. [[User:Caterina|Caterina]]
==Current Work==
Hola, So I'm going through your edits now, and turning up fewer issues but I still will be marking out some final notes. Please pay attention to these. Also, I haven't noticed any sign of your new batch on your user page, as you begin work on the new batch keep track of it there. Thanks, [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==Style Guidelines==
I've been updating the [[Style Guidelines]] to specifically address issues that our new writers face, please take a look at it and let me know of any suggestions you have. Also I'd like to bring to all of our writers' attention the section on Forwarding Links:
"It is the writer's responsibility to wipe the old pages from icannwik.ORG and create links to the new icannwiki.COM. An example of this can be seen [http://icannwiki.org/Patrick_Kane here]. Explain in similar terms that the site is moving, that this particular article has been moved, and then point to it with a link. Something like: "'''ICANNWiki.org is being moved to ICANNWiki.com, this article has already been moved can can be found [(link) here]'''."
Hi Andrew! I will make these changes from now on myself, I already did for the articles uploaded today. Hope I did it ok:) keep in touch! Dana
Also, please take note of the note below, it also addresses the procedure for wiping and linking from the old site that we will expect from everyone from now on. Thanks for you attention to this, we're trying to get a clearer system in place so please follow these new rules as you continue working. Thanks for your patience as we get this all systemized and explained! So,:
'''The wiped page should contain the disclaimer & link to the new site but it should also contain the category "ICANNWiki.com" (with that exact spelling and capitalization). As you know, the formatting for this is: <nowiki>[[Category:ICANNWiki.com]]</nowiki>. This is the only category that the wiped pages need, it should no longer contain a "People" category. This will help us to track our progress of moving over the old site.'''
==Company Template Changes==
Hi writers,We've updated the Company template. Please make note of the changes, and pay attention to the specific formatting. We'd like the appearance of the template to be as standardized as possible. Do not delete empty fields, as they will not show up anyway. I have gone through all of the old company articles and changed them to the new template.
Thanks,
[[User:Caterina|Caterina]]
==Batch Editing==
Great! Many of those look very good, I will be editing them over the next few days and will be in contact with you regarding the editing process. Thanks. (Also, don't worry about the under construction sign for the completed batch, but please keep it in mind for next time!) [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
* In general, you do not need to explain the source, by saying something like: "According to the updated information from IANA...". If the source is interesting/questionable/otherwise special feel free to explain it, but one important reason we use references is to explain the source.
*Please always begin the article with the person's '''bolded''' name.
* It's more exciting to read when you don't repeat the person's name the same way over and over again. "Andrew Mack is __" ..."Andrew Mack did___"..."Andrew Mack founded ___" is too much of the full name. Try to use pronouns (He) and titles ("Mr. Mack") Along with their first name when appropriate. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
* The stamps you often see on Linked In profiles don't nec. denote a real organization. For example,[http://www.linkedin.com/pub/frederic-donck/5/785/703 Fred], has a "linked ICANN" stamp, this is not an actual group but rather a social connection for the linked in site itself. These do not usually need to be used, unless it shows they participate in a real organization, like ICANN.
===What is "Stub"===
Hi Andrew! Thanks for the feedback, I may have forgotten to bold the name in some articles, will be more careful. Regarding the name, I will also make sure it will not repeat so much, you are right:)
However, I wanted to known what "Stub" is because I noticed you added for some articles? Thanks, Dana
Stub denotes an article that is short or otherwise lacking enough substance (no references). We are noticing there are more of these as we get close to finishing off the .org site. This time they will count towards your 50, but in the future we will be paying a lower rate for stubs. I will update you further before you start your next batch! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
Ok, I understand now. Even if there is little content I have to admit I spend at least half an hour for each person because I tried in every possible way to track down the person... Thanks for your answer. Dana
I have finished editing your batch. There are few issues with the articles, and I've marked out the areas that need correcting. Ignore the notes that say "photo?" and "unverifiable information". These are reminders for myself. Thanks for all the hard work! I can tell you really did try to find as much info as possible. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
i Andrew! Glad you are satisfied with the work, then all the time spent it was worth it:) I will make the necessary changes as I will be away for the weekend. If after I make the changes there will be any other issues, I will fix them on Monday. Thanks for everything. Dana
Hi Andrew! I have made the necessary changes, please check them. If you could also talk to Ray to escrow the payment this weekend so that I could receive the money, it would be great. I will be off for the weekend. If there are any other changes required, I will make them on Monday. Thanks, Dana!
==Finishing==
I will be finishing up your recent batch today. There are no people articles to be moved from .org, if you are interested in another batch please be patient as we organize new projects.
Hi Andrew! Thank you for the articles, I received the list and will start working on them right away. I will get back to you if I encounter any issues with remembering how to work on the platform. Thank you, Dana!
== Batch 4 ==
Hi Andrew,
I have worked on the articles, finished 20, but did not publish them yet.
I have a few questions please help me so that I can organise my work:
- an article about Matt Serlin already existed. Do you want me to verify the information and remake it? Or, will you give me another topic instead?
- in the discussion we had on vWorker I said that I will provide the articles within 2 weeks time after I will receive the topics. This would mean that the deadline for the articles would be on Wednesday, 29th of February (2 weeks after the 15th) and on vworker the deadline is the 27th. Can I finish the work on Wednesday?
Thank you for your help! I will upload more articles today.
Best regards,
Dana
Ah, I just saw your reply on vworker. Thank you! Dana
==Under Construction==
Please make sure that EVERY page you are working on begins with an "under construction" image, do this by adding <nowiki>[[Image:UnderConstruction.png]]</nowiki> to the beginning of every article. Please do this for every article you have worked on thus far, thank you. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==Batch 4 Update==
Hy Andrew. I have made the necessary modifications. Please let me know if there is anything else i need to change. Everything is going well and the articles will be ready before the deadline.
==Work Complete Batch 4==
Hy Andrew. I just wanted to let you know work is done. I've had some issues with the article regarding Tim Berners Lee. I have edited the text but when i save it part of it doesn't appear in the read mode. However when you click on edit, it is there. Please tell me how to mend it or what my mistake was. Hope you are satisfied with the work and if there are any problems please let me know.
Please remember that I am not notified when you write on your own discussion page, you must write on my page. Also, I'm just starting to edit but I want to stress that ICANNWiki is NOT ICANN, your article on Kevin Wilson shows him as an employee of ICANNWiki... there is a big difference there! Please stay posted as we will probably ask you to edit/add some things.
[[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
Here is a running list of other points:
* Please do not use our own website as a source, we generally insist on external sources
* We like to stay as neutral as possible, so there is no need to talk about someone's "accomplished" career or use any other adjectives that denote a value judgement.
* Please always do your best to rewrite the material and not copy and paste from any source.
* Please don't delete the empty lines/fields of the template that you do not fill out. If there is no text there the prompt will not appear in the final version. This way we can always easily add more information if one of the fields is blank and that information is found later.
* After implementing a reference, it is necessary to explain that reference while still in the brackets. So, it would be something like this <nowiki><ref>[www.reference.com One Space Then Explain, reference.com]</ref></nowiki> To show you that with a real site: <nowiki><ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/06/technology/as-new-ipad-debut-nears-some-see-decline-of-pcs.html?hp New iPad Debuts Some See Decline of PC, NYTimes.com]</ref></nowiki> iF you do not do this then the reference never appears named but instead is just a number, this way you know where the material is without clicking on the link.
* Categories are to be implemented at the bottom of the page, it seems you have not been adding <nowiki>[[Category:People]]</nowiki> to the bottom of people pages, and erroneously adding <nowiki>[[Category:Glossary]]</nowiki> to the bottom of company pages, which should have <nowiki>[[Category:Companies]]</nowiki>, registrars also get <nowiki>[[Category: Registrar]]</nowiki>. A list of all the categories can be seen [http://icannwiki.com/index.php/Category:Browse here]
* The companies you are working on are never Regional Internet Registries.
==Batch 4 update==
Hello, i understand the requirements and i will make the necessary changes starting tomorrow.
== Batch 4 update 2 ==
Hi Andrew,
I finished making the changes in the articles.
Please have a look and let me know if they are ok now and if I have to make any further changes.
Thanks,
Dana
== ref for Domain Kiting ==
Hi Dana,
You created [[Domain Kiting]] with a reference which is now expired: [http://www.sans.org/security-resources/security_plus/domain_kiting_sp08.php Domain Kiting and Check Kiting]. Unfortunately the archive.org has no copy of that either. It is always good practice to make the archive load any page one intents to use as reference.
Is there any other page that could be used? --[[User_talk:Manorainjan|'''<span style="color: orange;">Manorainjan</span>''']] 09:07, 30 January 2017 (PST)
