Request for assistance

(moved to here from User talk:80.217.2.28)

I do not have experiance editing on Wikipedia. Would you be able to assist me in adding some content and refernce material related to the .XXX and .KID extension? I am starting to lobby Microsoft, Firefox and Google to account for exclusion/inclusion of these domains for users logged in. I feel that protecting children and young adults far outweighs any censorship argument.

I don't know how this "talk" works but I can be contacted via e-mail at [removed]@hotmail.com.

I would like to

1. Add [name of the person] as first proposing the .XXX and .KID TLD's

and

2. add reference to [his] original letter to ICANN: http://www.icann.org/en/comments-mail/icann-current/msg00852.html

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Rather than asking some random IP-nymous Wikipedia user such as User:80.217.2.28 to assist you, I would advise you to go to the discussion pages for the relevant articles, that is: Talk:.xxx and Talk:Proposed top-level domain and propose your additions there.

You could make additions to the articles yourself, but you'd better look through the guidelines you can find via the Welcome! message above before doing so. If you have relevant references to add, Wikipedia:Tutorial/Citing sources tells you how to do that, and you can look at already existing references in the articles and learn from that.

One thing you probably shouldn't do is writing about things that concern you personally. Instead, you could provide the sources on the relevant talk page, disclose your personal interest, ask others to decide what should be included, and let them do the writing.

I removed your e-mail address from your request. If you check "Enable e-mail from other users" in your Wikipedia Preferences, other Wikipedia users can send you e-mail without you publishing your address.

You should also contemplate whether you want to expose your real name on Wikipedia talk pages. There's not much reason to do so, it carries no authority, only the sources do. See WP:Username policy#Real names.
