The short version:
WIKIPEDIA IS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA
An encyclopedia is a written compendium aiming to convey information on all branches of knowledge.
WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A DUMPING GROUND FOR RANDOM INFORMATION
WIKIPEDIA IS NOT FOR UNSOURCED MATERIAL
WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A MESSAGE BOARD OR BLOG SERVICE
WIKIPEDIA IS NOT CENSORED
WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A DEMOCRACY
WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A BUREAUCRACY
WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A FREE ADVERTISING SPACE
WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A PLACE TO PUBLISH YOUR NEW IDEAS
WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A PLACE TO PUBLISH YOUR OPINIONS
Wikipedia is not nearly this in-your-face most of the time
