Getting Started
If you haven't already, please read the basic guideline Getting Started where the Neutral Point of View (NPOV), and other general guidelines are discussed.
Collect Information
Our aim is to create an informative article for each company, person, or glossary term, with references that explain where we got the information. As you might expect, an Internet search via Google or another search engine is generally the most effective way to research and find information.
While any content on the site can be user submitted, we strive to cite any claims with a valid internet-based reference, or note that a certain piece of information is entirely user submitted.
Be sure to be creative with how you search, and refine your searches with specific keywords, such as searching "John Doe 2011", "John Doe Example Company, Inc.", or "John Doe ICANN".
Templates
The templates are important to standardize the article and offer quick access to information. Fill them out as completely as possible. A good way to start the article itself is to expand upon the information covered in the templates.
