  They basically parsed an entire book into the wiki format (the Reuters Finance Glossary 2nd Ed.. edited by Tony Parry, FT Prentice Hall, 2003 ISBN 1903684366 [10]), and then gave it a Creative Commons license. From their main page: " In the spirit of the Wikipedia, we ask contributors to live by some basic princples, including neutral point of view, only using verifiable information and keeping the wiki free from abuses such as personal attacks or copyright infringement." [Yes, there is currently a typo on their Main Page, but I have left a note on the discussion page.]

Questions and comments

• Category:Misc (note:without a period) should probably be moved to Category:Miscellaneous. There is no Move tab, or I'd do it myself (is this an older version of MediaWiki software, or is the Move tab disabled).
• Where is WikiIndex's interwiki map? For examples, see Wikimedia Meta-Wiki [52] and UseMod Wiki [53]
• Category:Wiki lists should probably have a sub-category -- Category:Wiki farm
• Category:Politics and Category:Political should be merged (to Politics?)
