This is an essay, a page containing the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. Essays may represent widespread norms or minority viewpoints, and they may be heeded or not based upon your judgement and discretion. |
Wikipedia is not about winning. Disputes over content or behavior are not meant to be "won". They are meant to be resolved per consensus, with all users here for the betterment of the project at all times willing to yield to consensus. Ego does not matter to Wikipedia; egos and pride are not helpful to building encyclopedia articles, and ego and pride need to yield to consensus if a conflict between them somehow occur. Any editors using Wikipedia who at any time feel they should win are incorrect; there is nothing to win. Wikipedia is not World of Encyclopediacraft.
Those who think it's more important to win rather than help create an encyclopedia we can all be proud of are in the wrong place. Those here to habitually win or feel the need to rule, or control, are here for the wrong reason.
If this is you, you need to lay aside the need or impulse to allow ego, pride, or winning to take precedence over collaborative construction of an encyclopedia. Please.
