We all have a philosophy on wikipedia, this is a very natural part of contributing here. The following pieces below are a list of my own personal thoughts, opinions. These of course are not official wikipedia guidelines — Here they are

I honestly believe that Wikipedia might as well be the best website ever. I know some will scoff at this notion but honestly think about it — many, many different nationality's and people come together to create an expand human knowledge — regardless of religion, race, political ideology and age. I don't think that every one here realizes that but it is the honest truth. I have seen so much good here it is unbelievable, people helping out others in their time of need — I could list names here but it would go on forever. I am sure some of you know what I am talking about. Other good things of wikipedia are the many featured articles, the featured lists and even the good articles. Also the community here is very strong and this helps make this place a saner, happier and over all more enjoyable place to be. This is what wikipedia is and what it needs to be.
We all know our opposites, heavy and light, hot and cold, day and night, good and evil, light and darkness and etc. So if there is an obvious good of wikipedia there is a hidden evil of wikipedia. The bad of wikipedia is actually quite large — the countless hours of vandalism reverting, the cruel edit wars, Spam removal, countless unreferenced articles, long and heated wars created by trolls, large and heated debates between editors, countless and obvious biting and the list goes on. But this will always be overshadowed by wikipedia's greatness. I understand that the bad might never go away but if every body works together it will be destroyed and we shall live in harmony forever.
Here is my personal essay on civility, On wikipedia over time I have been praised for my civility by many different editors and I hope to maintain this quality. Over time I have seen wikipedians act uncivilly to others not only vandals but the editors. This is somewhat backtracking if you understand what I am saying. Imagine if a vandal acts uncivilly to a user — but than that user rather than trying to calm down starts acting uncivilly to the vandal. Ask your self what has been accomplished in this? Nothing, and this is not helping anything.
