ICANNWiki:Content Guide: Difference between revisions

Line 37:

The main language of the wiki is English, and any variant of that language is accepted, with spellings such as ''color'' and ''colour'' being equally valid and with no need to normalize them. Our focus is on stabilizing the main version of the wiki before branching out to other languages, but exceptions can be made if they are coordinated with administrators.

In the case of companies, NGOs, and programs, the writing of entries relating to their work must be neutral, without marketing products or services. It is valid and welcome to state what an entity does and how that is related to Internet Governance or how that entity participates in ICANN. Entities are allowed to list their services, but that should not be done as a sales pitch. Occurrences of blatant marketing posting will be moderated.

The criteria for the notability of an article are that of being relevant to Internet Governance or ICANN ~~in general~~, without the need for further qualification as long as that connection is firmly established. The bar is ~~intentionally set~~ lower than that of Wikipedia in order to accommodate concepts and community members that would not otherwise be fit to be included there. Be aware that the other criteria outlined above still hold, and blatant self-advertising will be edited out.
