Who started the wiki?
Wikipedia offshoot Wikia is hosting a free wiki intended to give balanced comprehensive coverage of the swine/bird flu pandemic.
Valuable links
- Help and advice
- How you can protect your family
- What is this flu?
- Swine influenza, "swine flue", or "swine flu" refers to influenza cases that are caused by Orthomyxoviruses endemic to pig populations. Swine flu infects people every year ... (and so on)
- Organizations
- Category lists organizations involved in monitoring and ameliorating the outbreak
Read the wiki and add to it
There's a growing amount of factual information, including direct links to nearly every involved organization in the world and to their publications in scores of languages.Just like Wikipedia, this wiki can be edited by anyone. You can help to improve the quality and quantity of accurate information.
One important task under way is the copying of some templates and headings to create individual pages for countries that don't have them yet. That will make country-specific links easier to find than on the pages for continents.
Reader feedback
Say what you think about the idea of having a wiki for this subject.
Or about any aspect of the pandemic.

- John, you can add a link to your blog on a suitable page of the wiki, under a heading "External links" near the end of the page.
If there's no suitable page, create one or post to a forum about your ideas for such a page.
