User:Esquivalience/Introduction to Wikipedia policies and guidelines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The goal of Wikipedia is to provide an accurate, comprehensive, and high-quality encyclopedia for free. In order to reach that goal faster, Wikipedia can be edited by anyone.
However, there needs to be a set of policies and guidelines in order to maintain the quality of Wikipedia content. To start off, Wikipedia operates on five principles, and you should have a firm knowledge of those principles before editing.
Note that Wikipedia has no firm rules. If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining the encyclopedia, and you are sure your edit improves or helps maintain the encyclopedia, ignore it!
