Wikipedia:Trifecta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia is an 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 (NPOV) - our basic editorial policy
- Corollaries: Conventions on living people, verifiability, citation, original research, style, deletion, etc.
- as a community: Don't be a dick - our basic social principle
- Corollaries: Be civil, 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, Snowball clause
This page itself is not a policy, nor a guideline, but you are welcome to demonstrate that you subscribe to it by adding {{User:Seth Ilys/Trifecta}} or {{User:Lawilkin/UBX/Trifecta}} to your userpage.
