Wikipedia is not a soapbox, an advertising platform, a vanity press, an experiment in anarchy or democracy, an indiscriminate collection of information, or a web directory. It is not a dictionary, a newspaper, or a collection of source documents, although some of its fellow Wikimedia projects are. Wikipedia Is Written From a Neutral Point of View We strive for articles in an impartial tone that document and explain major points of view, giving due weight with respect to their prominence. We avoid advocacy, and we characterize information and issues rather than debate them. In some areas there may be just one well-recognized point of view; in others, we describe multiple points of view, presenting each accurately and in context rather than as "the truth" or "the best view". All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy, citing reliable, authoritative sources, especially when the topic is controversial or is on living persons. Editors' personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong. Wikipedia Is Free Content That Anyone Can Use, Edit, and Distribute Since all editors freely license their work to the public, no editor owns an article and any contributions can and will be mercilessly edited and redistributed. Respect copyright laws, and never plagiarize from sources. Borrowing non-free media is sometimes allowed as fair use, but strive to find free alternatives first. Wikipedia's Editors Should Treat Each Other With Respect and Civility Respect your fellow Wikipedians, even when you disagree. Apply Wikipedia etiquette, and don't engage in personal attacks. Seek consensus, avoid edit wars, and never disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. Act in good faith, and assume good faith on the part of others. Be open and welcoming to newcomers. Should conflicts arise, discuss them calmly on the appropriate talk pages, follow dispute resolution procedures, and consider that there are 6,912,237 other articles on the English Wikipedia to improve and discuss. Wikipedia Has No Fixed Rules Wikipedia has policies and guidelines, but they are not carved in stone; their content and interpretation can evolve over time. The principles and spirit matter more than literal wording, and sometimes improving Wikipedia requires making exceptions. Be bold but not reckless in updating articles. And do not agonize over making mistakes: every past version of a page is saved, so mistakes can be easily corrected. Seth Whales' Pillar (Don't Give a Fuck About Your Wikipedia Edits) Just don't "give a fuck" about your Wikipedia edits – if your edit has been reverted, just forget it. Thereby, by not caring about your edit after you have saved it, means if anyone reverts it, your inability to "give a fuck" will avoid the possibility of any edit warring arising. Most edit wars are ridiculously stupid anyway and a waste of time debating topics of no practical value, or wrestling over questions whose answers hold no practical consequence. Don't forget, no editor owns an article. When an editor insists that what they're doing is an improvement when it isn't, assume the editor doesn't have a clue. Unfortunately Wikipedia attracts a load of men that have no or little power in their own lives, but when they get onto Wikipedia, they "have no problem speaking in an authoritative manner about something they know nothing about." (quote from Jimmy Wales) and deleting loads of good content (with references) just for the fuck of it, because "they know best". Don't be an internet troll like these idiots, just move onto the other 6,912,238 articles on the English Wikipedia.

Pictures of the Day Featured Picture of the Day from Wikipedia (click on image to enlarge) Apennine Colossus The Apennine Colossus is a stone statue, approximately 11 metres (36 feet) tall, in the estate of Villa Demidoff (originally Villa di Pratolino) in Vaglia in Tuscany, Italy. A personification of the Apennine Mountains, the colossal figure was created by Giambologna, a Flemish-born Italian sculptor, in the late 1580s. The statue has the appearance of an elderly man crouched at the shore of a lake, squeezing the head of a sea monster through whose open mouth water originally emanated into the pond in front of the statue. The colossus is depicted naked, with stalactites in the thick beard and long hair to show the metamorphosis of man and mountain, blending his body with the surrounding nature. It is made of stone and plaster and the interior houses a series of chambers and caves on three levels. Initially, the back of the statue was protected by a structure resembling a cave, which was demolished around 1690 by the sculptor Giovanni Battista Foggini, who built a statue of a dragon to adorn the back of the colossus. The Italian sculptor Rinaldo Barbetti renovated the statue in 1876. Featured Picture of the Day from Wikimedia Commons (click on image to enlarge) Sparassis crispa in natural habitat.

Quotes from Jimmy Wales (Co-founder of Wikipedia) and other Wikipedians “ Make an edit on Wikipedia. Become part of a movement for collective understanding. Every time a person chooses to build instead of destroy, the world is that much richer for it. ” “ I frequently counsel people who are getting frustrated about an edit war to think about someone who lives without clean drinking water, without any proper means of education, and how our work might someday help that person. It puts flamewars into some perspective, I think. ” “ To me the key thing is getting it right. And if a person's really smart and they're doing fantastic work I don't care if they're a high school kid or a Harvard professor, it's the work that matters. ” “ Wikipedia is first and foremost an effort to create and distribute a free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language. Asking whether the community comes before or after this goal is really asking the wrong question: the entire purpose of the community is precisely this goal. ” “ You shouldn't really use Wikipedia as the sole source for anything, ever. You shouldn't use anything as the sole source for anything, in my view...I think people have to recognise that the traditional modes of authority weren't that great. ” “ Wikipedia is written in this very authoritative style and, as you know, men have no problem speaking in an authoritative manner about something they know nothing about...woman are much more sensible. ” “ When someone just writes 'fuck, fuck, fuck', we just fix it, laugh and move on. But the difficult social issues are the borderline cases - people who do some good work, but who are also a pain in the neck. ” “ We are Wikipedians. This means that we should be: kind, thoughtful, passionate about getting it right, open, tolerant of different viewpoints, open to criticism, bold about changing our policies and also cautious about changing our policies. We are not vindictive, childish, and we don't stoop to the level of our worst critics, no matter how much we may find them to be annoying. ” “ Ideally, our rules should be formed in such a fashion that an ordinary helpful kind thoughtful person doesn't really even need to know the rules. You just get to work, do something fun, and nobody hassles you as long as you are being thoughtful and kind. ” Quote from Pigsonthewing at twitter.com/WeAreWikipedia “ It's important to realise that our mission is not to make a website, but to share knowledge, freely available for reuse. Retweeted by Jimmy Wales; quoted at Wikimania 2014 by Bill Thompson. ” Quote from The Blade of the Northern Lights “ Our work together here should be our armor, not some sharp, angry, burning sword. I would strongly recommend that everyone here find an article to work on for a while; not the cliche "random article", but something that gives you a nice tug at the heartstrings. It feels great to be out there doing work on something you genuinely care about, and I assure you it'll help you regain the sense of why you're here. ”
