I think you've shown a great first effort and I look forward to more work from you. Please just continue to build substantial articles. I'll do some final edits once you get those references in there and address those other issues.

More unexpected delays? We don't want you to disappear from the site! We want to work with you again as soon as you finish the second round of editing for the batch we've paid you for. Keep me updated, thanks, be well, [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]

To all writers: Can you start marking the very top of each and every page you work on with <span style="color:#ff0000"><big>'''UNDER CONSTRUCTION'''</big></span>, when Caterina, Ray, or myself have edited and checked off on the page we will remove it. Thanks! [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]

'''UPDATE''': We've created an image that will make the "Under Construction" process easier: Please insert <nowiki>[[Image:UnderConstruction.png]]</nowiki> as the first text in every article you make. Thanks for putting up with the notes as we perfect this process. Be well, Stay in touch, [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]

==Changes==
Hi Pulasthi, 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]]
==Unfinished Batch==
Welcome back, Pulasthi! While I'm glad your break was not a permanent one, it seems that you left some unfinished work from you last batch that you had agreed to bring up to standard (see above in your talk page). Please address the issues in Batch 3 that are noted on your user page. It is important that you bring all work to completion, 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]'''"."
Also, please take note of the rule 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.
Additionally, if you are writing an article about an organization (sometimes these are categorized as "glossary" or "company" to begin with), please use the company template when the organization has a logo. If it does not have a logo, you do not need to use the template.
Thanks,
[[User:Caterina|Caterina]]
==Welcome Back==
I'm glad to see your back on the site! Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the edits we expect of you on the old batch. Yes, there has been a lot of work going on to move all the articles from the old site to the new- and there are few articles left, and many of them do not have much info. Do your best, if they don't attend ICANN meetings that's okay - as long as they have something to do with the IT/Internet world.
Also, please be aware that we have started to pay less for "stub" articles. These are articles that are very short/ do not have references. Please collect stubs separately from your actual batch. This way you will have 50 good articles, and then however number of stubs - which you will be bonused for. We do this because stubs take very little time to make. If you want to see what a stub looks like, there are some marked out on [[User:Dana_Silvia|Dana's user page]]. [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
==Company Articles==
Okay, Here are 20 articles, 15 of which you will need to choose to write articles for. They are being moved from the .org site, so please wipe and redirect the articles on the old site as you know. Let me know of any other help you need [[User:Andrew|Andrew]]
