* '''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.
