Seth Whales' six pillars of Wikipedia

[edit]
 Wikipedia Is an Encyclopedia
Our encyclopedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers. 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 6,904,886 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 6,904,887 articles on the English Wikipedia.

The Mauritius kestrel (Falco punctatus) is a bird of prey from the family Falconidae endemic to the forests of Mauritius, where it is restricted to the southwestern plateau's forests, cliffs, and ravines. It colonized the island and evolved into a distinct species from other Indian Ocean kestrels, probably during the Gelasian or Early Pleistocene periods. The Mauritius kestrel can reach a size between 26 and 30.5 cm (10.2 and 12.0 in), with a mass of up to 250 g (8.8 oz) and rounded wings with a span of approximately 45 cm (18 in). Males are slightly smaller than the females. It is a carnivorous bird, eating geckos, dragonflies, cicadas, cockroaches, crickets, and small birds. It hunts by means of short, swift flights through the forests. This Mauritius kestrel was photographed in the Ebony Forest reserve near Chamarel, Mauritius.

"La Mort Saint-Innocent" is an allegorical sculpture by an unknown artist. It was located in Holy Innocents' Cemetery in Paris from 1530 until the cemetery was closed in 1786. The sculpture was moved to Saint-Gervais Church, then to Notre-Dame Cathedral, where the arm was restored by Deseine. It is currently part of the collection of the Louvre-Lens. Today is All Souls' Day.
