 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
What should Wikipedia be? It should be a learning institute, an example to other encyclopedias, and a friendly, helpful community. There are other things that people think Wikipedia should be, but this essay feels these points are the most important. Under each topic, you will find a context and a notes section. The topics will be listed in order of importance, not in order of alphabet or something similar. If you don't like the way they are put, please ask on the talk page and your questions will be answered.
