1. Neutrality: All sides of an issue must be presented with equally important supportive evidence (if available).
2. Civility: Don't use wikipedia to prove a point or pursue an agenda. Politely edit pages. Don't use it as a forum for opinion.
3. Consider the other editors when making an edit. Take into consideration the previous posts and their relevancy.
4. Avoid irrelevancy, only include information that is pertinent to the topic.
5. Refer to the talk page and the edit history before making an edit.
6. Information supported by previous research.
7. Sources should be cited and should originate from reputable places.
8. Don't recklessly change the titles of articles.
9. Don't recklessly create new articles.
10. Often small changes and minor edits are better than completely new creations.

I thought these were great commandments. Uhh ya my comment probably isn't going to be to helpful lol but they were great!
I think #5 is the best rule on here, and #'s 8, 9 & 10 are excellent guidelines.
Number three and five were my favorite on the list. If you follow these rules, you'll have an understanding of what direction the community is trying to take the particular post and you'll be less likely to have your post removed.
