I believe in knowledge. I believe that making knowledge available to others is a good thing. I believe that while inaccuracy and deception may be morally justified on occasions, they are inherently evil. I believe that dispelling ignorance is in general a good thing.

I believe in cooperation and teamwork. I hope and believe that by working together, Wikipedians will achieve results better than any of us could produce on our own.

I believe in the Internet. I believe that it offers opportunities for human advancement that outweigh its dangers.

I believe in wikis. They are fun.

I believe in improving articles. I believe that no article is perfect, however much I may have worked on it, and will give others the chance to contribute to it too.

I believe in NPOV. I may not know what it means, but I accept that it's not negotiable and I think it can work. I will try to put whatever understanding I do have into practice whenever I edit an article.

I believe in consensus. I don't know what it means either, but I'll try to make it work anyway.

I'm wrong sometimes, otherwise I wouldn't be human, and right sometimes too, otherwise I wouldn't be here.

I believe in welcoming newbies and anonymous editors. I will always try to remember what it was like to be one.

I believe in being polite and considerate to others. I recognise that if I can't do that, Wikipedia doesn't want me. But I also believe in forgiveness, which is just as well because I sometimes wish I hadn't pressed "save" myself.

I believe in discussion. I will try to initiate and participate in discussions rather than making an article into a battleground, and in that I am able I will try to encourage others to do the same.

I believe (sometimes) in Wikipedia policies and guidelines and I particularly expect administrators (etc) to follow them when exercising their sysop (etc) powers. But I also try to bear in mind what the rules are there for, and notice that whenever we have a consensus that the rules are wrong, we seem to go with the consensus and tidy up the rules later (sometimes).

I believe in copyleft. I will respect the GFDL.

I believe in the project. Wikipedia won't solve all of the world's problems, but I believe it can help to solve some of them, however slightly. Whenever I edit I will focus on the goal of writing an encyclopedia, and use Wikipedia's resources only to advance that goal.

I believe in Wikipedia.
