Welcome to finiki, the Canadian finanical wiki, a collaborative enterprise by the members of the Financial Wisdom Forum. finiki is an encyclopedia of financial subjects written from a Canadian perspective. finiki has a neutral point of view. finiki has a code of conduct. finiki does not have firm rules.

Anyone can read the wiki, but writing and editing privileges must be applied for using this thread on our companion discussion forum. Be bold when updating pages. finiki will develop faster when everybody helps to fix problems, correct grammar, add facts, make sure wording is accurate, etc. How many times have you read something and thought, "Why aren't these pages copy-edited?" finiki not only allows you to add, revise, and edit articles: we want you to do it. It does require some amount of politeness, but it works. You'll see. Of course, others here will edit what you write. Do not take it personally! They, like you, just wish to make finiki the best that it can possibly be.

wikispeak isn't a difficult language to learn and speak. Nonetheless, it can be a barrier to those for whom it is not a mother tongue, i.e., technogeeks or for those who do not have an ear for languages. Therefore, if you'd like to write something, write it in whatever application you'd like and email it to and we'll figure out how and where to include it. For others, see the Guide For Contributors if you would like to become a writer and editor.
