Wikipedia’s Five Pillars

These five guiding principles are key to how Wikipedia works and serve as a foundation for you and your students, just as they do for experienced Wikipedia editors ("Wikipedians").

Wikipedia's Five Pillars:

  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
