Wikipedia is an encyclopedia
incorporating only material deemed to be "encyclopedic". This term need not have a consistent definition, but is always in alignment with whatever an administrator thinks.

Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view
and since administrators are community-appointed stewards, whose point of view could possibly be more neutral?

Wikipedians should interact in a respectful and civil manner
with administrators even when you don't agree with them. Be civil (note: ordinary users only). Avoid edit wars with admins, as they are always right; remember that there are 6,835,513 other articles on the English Wikipedia to work on and discuss, so why don't you go somewhere else (and counting) if you've got a problem? Act in good faith (Note: administrators can still assume bad faith on your part), and assume good faith on the part of administrators.
