There are 5 main pillars of Wikipedia that are fundamental to understanding and participating on the platform.


 * 1) Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia
 * 2) Wikipedia has a neutral point of view
 * 3) Wikipedia is free content
 * 4) Wikipedians should interact in a respectful and civil manner
 * 5) Wikipedia does not have firm rules

The 5th and one of the most important pillars of Wikipedia is "Wikipedia does not have firm rules", this means that you as a contributor do not have to shy away or be too cautious about what you share. Instead provide details explaining what you shared and include citations to the articles you used so that other users can aid in proofreading your submission. The lack of firm rules is intentional and is meant to create a lenient platform where there can be multiple authors for each Wikipedia page. Additionally, users are encouraged to become comfortable providing feedback and communicate any opportunities for improvement. Overall, the goal of Wikipedia is to create a database using your judgement, and to constantly review/revise contributions.
