The Five Pillars of WIkipedia

The Five Pillars of are a basis for all of Wikipedia. The pillars are a guiding foundation that all of Wikipedia is built around. It is important for all editors to know these principles and it is even more important that all admins know and understand them. The five pillars are as follows:
I. Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia
II. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view.
III. Wikipedia is free content that anyone can edit, use, modify, and distribute.
IV. Editors should interact with each other in a respectful and civil manner.
V. Wikipedia does not have firm rules.
