Policies and guidelines   Content   Conduct   Summary    

Quick review of what you've learned:


Policies/guidelines. Policies define Wikipedia's fundamental principles. Guidelines say how to apply them or provide general consistency.


Content. Articles should be neutral and only contain information and opinions that already exist from a reliable source.


Conduct. Be bold, but don't be a dick; assuming good faith, civilly talk things out on the talk pages in a disagreement until a consensus can be reached.


You should now have enough idea of the spirit of the guidelines and policies to begin editing with some confidence! For more information, check out further introductions and help in the links below.
