The WikiVet is a veterinary encyclopedia designed to primarily support further learning into the veterinary sciences. As such the content of the wiki is strictly veterinary related. Whilst the many creators and editors of the site have done their best to ensure accuracy it is likely that there will be many sections that need extendeding or further editing. The wiki is therefore very much a "work in progress" and we invite all users of the site to take ownership by adding to the existing material.

We are also aware that at present WikiVet does not provide a comprehensive cover of the entire veterinary curriclum. The reader will notice that there are many blind ending or "stubs" and empty pages. With your help, we intend to fill out these remaining sections in the coming years. We also welcome suggestions from you about additional features, tools or content that you would like to see added to the wiki.

====Neutral Point of View====

====Neutral Point of View====

The WikiVet needs to provide a balanced view on any contentious topics. It therefore should present all relevant viewpoints and to be informative on issues of debate rather than persuasive. In articles we will accept all opinions on a topic but unless they are generally accepted in the veterinary community as fact plese try to use phrases such as 'In Report X it was noted that...' or 'in textbook X it states that'.

The neutral point of view is highly relevant when discussing treatment of disease. It must be remembered that every case is unique and there are differing ways to treat each disease. But as this is a site on the whole dedicated to veterinary students please just discuss the current accepted treatment for the disease.

====English Dialects====

====English Dialects====

The WikiVet was founded by a collaboration of British Veterinary schools and as such UK English is the accepted language of WikiVet. So edema would not be accepted whilst oedema would. This also means that mainly diseases endemic to the UK and drugs liscensed in the UK will be discussed. If exotic diseases are discussed please mention where the disease is endemic.
