Guidelines for creating a great article here:
#REDIRECT [[ICANNWiki:Content Guide]]
 
== Getting Started ==
* Create a user account
* Please feel free to experiment, it's a wiki and pretty much everything can always be corrected.  The [[Sandbox]] is a great place to play around.
 
== Creating Content in General ==
* Write from a Neutral Point of View ([[NPOV]])
* Do not include promotional material from the website
* Do not copy text or images from other websites, writing must be original.  It is fine to read, understand and then create your own content.
* It is ok to use images that are in the public domain or under a [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ creative commons license].  It is also ok to use company logos.
* It is also ok to use content from ICANNWiki.org (the older version of this site), but much of it has been written from a promotional point of view and will need to be converted to a neutral point of view.
* using an internal link is always good, so instead of "ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers)", just use "<nowiki>[[ICANN]]</nowiki>" and then we'll define ICANN on that page.
 
== Creating Company Articles ==
* When uploading a company logo, try to give it a name which includes the name of the company and the word logo, like "ABC-Logo.jpg".  If you use just "logo.png" over time some logos will overwrite others.
* Use the [[:Template:CompanyInfo|Company Infobox Template]]
* Put all key people into the infobox
*: Shorten people's titles to make them fit better, so "Executive Vice President" becomes [[EVP]]
