 * Purpose: Encyclopaedia


 * Distraction: Political trappings


 * Caveat: Community

In meatspace society, community is an end in itself; on Wikipedia, community is a means to an encyclopaedia.

Justice is demanded in Western societies as a matter of principle, and arguably also as a matter of pragmatism; a community which does not value justice is vulnerable to inequalities of opportunity, and administrative decisions based on expedience and affinity rather than universalisiability.

Those suckled on norms of democracy and equality before the (rule of) law.
