YYZ, there already is a Wiki called Transporting Pets.

It addresses dogs and cats, but not horses.

It might be a good idea to start a new Wiki on Transporting Horses.

Just a minute ago I created a new Wiki called Animals. All it does is re-direct the reader to the Wiki on Transporting Pets. If you add a new Wiki on Transporting Horses, it would be good to add to the Animals article another bullet point re-directing readers to that article.

I sometimes create a new Wiki article soley for the purpose of re-directing readers to another Wiki article, because people might use different words when they think of a topic. An example is "pets" and "animals."

By the way, while I have provided my opinion in response to your question, I am not the guardian of the Wiki. The Wiki section belongs to everyone, and anyone can go in there and do whatever they like, provided they adhere to the guidelines that the moderators have laid out. In writing a Wiki article, one is supposed to write in a factual tone, one is supposed to write in the third person (one is not supposed to say "I"), and one is supposed to steer clear of jokes.

I'm delighted when anyone takes an interest in adding to the Wiki, by adding to an existing article or by writing an entirely new article. I think an article on Transporting Horses would be a useful addition, YYZ, just as your article on Travel was.

For the life of me I can't remember how to start one. Am reading the info on how to create a new page but sadly it isn't of much help.

I really can't figure it out.

I've just created a new Wiki page called Transporting Horses.

When you're on the Transporting Horses page, just click on the "edit" button near the top of that page, and go for it.

Judy, you rock. Oh and you *are* the queen of the wiki, that is why we first ask you for permission.

Thanks for pointing this out, YYZ. I've just gone back to the Create Wiki Page article and revised it in an effort to make it easier to understand.

Ah, so I wasn't blind.

In any case, many thanks. I've just started the page with links. Off to actually tend to said horse that will go with me and as soon as I'm back I'll keep chuggin away at it. Have contacted a few companies for quote requests as well.

The changes you made were very helpful, lof.

I also have added another article to the series on job hunting, namely, Marketing Yourself.

I've just noticed for the first time that Iain wrote a Wiki on Marmite. LOL!

Default Re: BE Wiki / Knowledge Base

Notwithstanding the fact that I wrote the Wiki called Newcomers to the forum in the hopes that it would serve as an Idiot's Guide to Canadian Immigration, there still are newcomers who are reporting that they are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information that they need to plough through.

Rather than simplifying things for them, the sheer volume of information seems to be confusing them even more.

So, in order to help the person who is feeling like a deer with his/her eyes caught in the headlights, I have attempted to create a really streamlined Wiki article called

Idiot's Guide to Canadian Immigration.

I sincerely hope it will help people who are in the very early stages of exploration.

In spite of earlier attempts to clarify Canadian immigration strategies, there still have been newcomers arriving on the forum with misconceptions.

To make it quicker and easier to respond to them, I have created a Wiki article called MISTAKES.

If memory serves, it was Gaynor (burton bunch) who did most of the work on the Alberta - Introduction article. But I think it's splendid that you've created an Introduction to BC, JonboyE.

Because I consider it to be an important topic, I'll mention that I've just written a Wiki article on Risk.
