Three Laws of Wikipedia


 * 1) An editor may not misinform a reader or, through inaction, allow a human being to be ignorant.
 * 2) An editor must obey the orders given it by Wikimedia Foundation except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
 * 3) An editor must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

For all editors - humans and bots.

Based on:
 * Three Laws of Robotics – a set of rules devised by the science fiction author Isaac Asimov
