Text[edit]
Wikipedia is a encyclopedia created by a community using a wiki. Those three basic characteristics suggest three basic guiding principles for editors, of which all others are corollaries:
- as an encyclopedia: Neutral point of view - our basic editorial policy
- Corollaries: Conventions on style, verifiability, citation, deletion, original research, etc.
- as a community: Don't be a dick - our basic social policy
- Corollaries: Keep your cool, assume good faith, avoid personal attacks.
- Strongly implied are the one revert rule and consensus as opposed to voting
- as a wiki: Ignore all rules - the suggested personal policy
- Corollaries: Be bold, avoid instruction creep
