All of [[Wikipedia|Wikipedia's]] [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|official policies and guidelines]] can be summarized as '''''five pillars''''' that define the character of the project:

{| style="background:none"
|[[Image:BluePillar.svg|47px]] || '''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia|Wikipedia is an encyclopedia]]''' written for the benefit of its readers. It includes elements of general encyclopedias, specialized encyclopedias, and [[almanac]]s. All articles must follow our [[Wikipedia:No original research|no original research]] policy, and editors must strive for [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiable accuracy]]: unreferenced material may be removed, so [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|please provide references]]. Wikipedia is not the place to insert personal opinions, arguments or experiences. [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|Wikipedia is not]] an [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information|indiscriminate collection of information]]. Wikipedia is not a [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox|soapbox]], a vanity press, an experiment in [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not an anarchy|anarchy]] or [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a democracy|democracy]], or a web [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a directory|directory]]. It is not a newspaper or a collection of [[Wikipedia:Don't include copies of primary sources|source documents]]; these kinds of content should be contributed to the [[wikimedia:Our projects|Wikimedia sister projects]].
|-
| 
|-
|[[Image:GreenPillar.svg|47px]] || '''[[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|Wikipedia has a neutral point of view]]''', which means we strive for articles that advocate no single point of view. Sometimes this requires representing multiple points of view, presenting each point of view accurately, providing context for any given point of view, and presenting no one point of view as "the truth" or "the best view." It means citing [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiable]], [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|authoritative sources]] whenever possible, especially on [[Wikipedia:Controversial articles|controversial topics]]. When a conflict arises regarding neutrality, declare a cool-down period and tag the article as disputed, hammer out details on the [[Wikipedia:Talk page|talk page]], and follow [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]].
|-
| 
|-
|[[Image:YellowPillar.svg|47px]] ||'''[[Wikipedia:Copyrights|Wikipedia is free content]]''' that anyone may edit. All text is available under the [[GNU Free Documentation License]] (GFDL) and may be distributed or linked accordingly. Recognize that [[Wikipedia:Ownership of articles|articles can be changed by anyone]] and no individual controls any specific article; therefore, any writing you contribute can be mercilessly edited and redistributed at will by the community. Do not [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|infringe on copyright]] or submit work licensed in a way incompatible with the GFDL.
|-
| 
|-
|[[Image:OrangePillar.svg|47px]] ||'''[[Wikipedia:Etiquette|Wikipedia has a code of conduct]]''': Respect your fellow Wikipedians even when you may not agree with them. Be [[Wikipedia:Civility|civil]]. Avoid [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|conflicts of interest]], [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks|personal attacks]] or sweeping generalizations. Find [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]], avoid [[Wikipedia:Edit war|edit wars]], follow the [[Wikipedia:Three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], and remember that there are {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles on the English Wikipedia to work on and discuss. Act in good faith, [[Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point|never disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point]], and [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|assume good faith]] on the part of others. Be open and [[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|welcoming]].
|-
| 
|-
|[[Image:RedPillar.svg|47px]] || '''[[Wikipedia:Ignore all rules|Wikipedia does not have firm rules]]''' besides the five general principles presented here. [[Wikipedia:Be bold|Be '''bold''' in editing, moving, and modifying articles]]. Although it should be aimed for, [[Wikipedia:Editing policy|perfection is not required]]. Do not worry about messing up. All prior versions of articles are kept, so there is no way that you can accidentally damage Wikipedia or irretrievably destroy content. Remember — whatever you write here will be preserved for posterity.
