* '''Policies''' define Wikipedia's fundamental principles. '''Guidelines''' recommend how to apply them and how to provide general consistency for readers.
<noinclude>
* '''Content''' – Articles should be neutral and contain only information and opinions that already exist in reliable sources.
{{Wikipedia:Help Project/Introduction to policies guidelines/TabsHeader|This=4}}
* '''Conduct''' – Be bold, and be civil. In a disagreement, assume good faith, and civilly discuss issues on talk pages until a consensus can be reached.

===More information===
You can edit other people's work, they will edit yours. If your edits are undone, don't take offence - it is just part of the wiki process.
<big>'''You should now have enough of an idea of the spirit of the guidelines and policies to begin editing with some confidence .'''! </big>For more information, check out [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines]].▼
''For the next module, you can choose to learn either VisualEditor or Wiki Markup. VisualEditor is intuitive and works like a word processor. Wiki Markup, preferred by most editors, is more versatile and allows you to edit wikicode directly.''

* Write articles that you are affiliated with or are self-promotional
* Add anything you didn't personally write yourself (copyright is important!)
