Guidelines

Per Wikipedia:Five pillars, the fundamental principles of Wikipedia can be summarized as follows:

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia
Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view
Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute
Wikipedia's editors should treat each other with respect and civility
Wikipedia has no firm rules → the principles and spirit matter more than literal wording

The following table represents some of the Wikipedia guidelines that I have found to be pertinent and helpful during my stint as an editor. These are not intended to be understood as a comprehensive list of all Wikipedia rules, but it might be a helpful start.
