Wikipedia:Policies an guidelines

Wikipedia is a jynt projeck an its foonders an contreibutors hae a commoun aim:

Oor aim wi Wikipedia is ti mak a trustie an free encyclopaedia—atweill, the greatest encyclopaedia in history, in baith breadth an depth.

Wikipedia haes some policies an guidelines that help us ti wirk for that commoun aim. Some o thir policies are aye chyngin, whiles ithers are lang settled an maistly uncontroversial.

While oor policies continue tae evolve, monie Wikipedians jalouse that written rules canna cover ilka possible kin o disruptive or malevolent behaviour. For exemplar, a uiser that acks agin the speirit o oor written policies micht be caaed ower een gin the letter o the rules haesna been violated. Them that edit in guid faith, shaw civeility, leuk for consensus, an wirk for the aim o makin an impartial encyclopaedia, shuid find a walcoming environment.
