What are the 5 wikipedia pilars or principales?

The fundamental principles by which Wikipedia operates can be summarized in five "pillars":
First pillar
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia: It combines many features of general and specialized encyclopediasalmanacs, and gazetteersWikipedia is not asoapbox, an advertising platform, a vanity press, an experiment in anarchy or democracy, an indiscriminate collection of information, or a webdirectory. It is not a dictionary, a newspaper, or a collection of source documents, although some of its fellow Wikimedia projects are.
Second pillar
Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view: We strive for articles that document and explain the major points of view, giving due weight with respect to their prominence in an impartial tone. We avoid advocacy and we characterize information and issues rather than debate them. In some areas there may be just one well-recognized point of view; in others, we describe multiple points of view, presenting each accurately and in context rather than as "the truth" or "the best view". All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy, citing reliable, authoritative sources, especially when the topic is controversial or is on living persons. Editors' personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong.
Third pillar
Wikipedia is free content that anyone can edit, use, modify, and distribute: Since all editors freely license their work to the public, no editor owns an article and any contributions can and will be mercilessly edited and redistributed. Respect copyright laws, and never plagiarize from sources. Borrowing non-free media is sometimes allowed as fair use, but strive to find free alternatives first.
Fourth pillar
Editors should treat each other with respect and civility: Respect your fellow Wikipedians, even when you disagree. Apply Wikipedia etiquette, and don't engage inpersonal attacks. Seek consensus, avoid edit wars, and never disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. Act in good faith, and assume good faith on the part of others. Be open and welcoming to newcomers. If a conflict arises, discuss it calmly on the nearest talk pages, follow dispute resolution, and remember that there are 4,515,551 articles on the English Wikipedia to work on and discuss.
Fifth pillar
Wikipedia does not have firm rules: Wikipedia has policies and guidelines, but they are not carved in stone; their content and interpretation can evolve over time. Their principles and spirit matter more than their literal wording, and sometimes improving Wikipedia requires making an exception. Be bold but not reckless in updating articles, and do not agonize about making mistakesEvery past version of a page is saved, so any mistakes can be easily corrected.

What are your top five fears?

A YouGov survey has identified the top five phobias of British people. Unsurprisingly they include heights, snakes and spiders. Tell us your worst fears.
A YouGov survey of 2,000 people has ranked the things that British people are most afraid of. The survey asked people to rate a list of 13 phobias, and asked them to describe their fear levels for each one. Here were the top five things that terrified us:

Heights

Unsurprisingly, a fear of heights tops the list. We're not a nation of skyscrapers and vertiginous mountains. Most of us would rather not look over the edge of the Grand Canyon or climb a unsteady pylon for the rush of it. And given that vertigo gives some people the urge to jump, a healthy fear of heights seems completely sensible to us.

Snakes

Since our rainy island doesn't welcome the deadliest types of snake, it's somewhat odd to see this phobia so high up on the list. We don't have to deal with the Black Mamba, a deadly snake which can move at speeds of over 12mph. Sure, you might see the odd grass snake or adder in the countryside, but you're unlikely to meet a boa constrictor on a cool spring night as you pop down to the pub. So why the fear?

A fear of public speaking

This one is understandable. Gazing out on a sea of expectant faces would give anyone sweaty palms. There is an entire industry devoted to helping people who cannot face speaking publicly, so we won't try to give you too much advice. But have you tried imagining the crowd naked?

A fear of spiders

As with snakes, the UK isn't exactly overrun with poisonous, fanged arachnids. But the recent panic about False widow spiders, and the oft repeated myth about eating spiders in your sleep might have contributed to a slight shiver in our collective consciousness. Are you feeling something crawling up your arm right now?

A fear of small spaces
This doesn't only apply to the shoebox sized living spaces we can barely afford thanks to the housing shortage, but to the primal fear of not being able to escape a confined place. No wonder some people over the years have devised 'safety coffins,' which have bells and breathing tubes installed just in case the departed haven't departed all the way.
The rest of the list comprised of a fear of mice, fear of needles, fear of flying, fear of crowds, fear of clowns, fear of the dark, fear of blood, and a fear of dogs. Tell us what you'd add to the list. What are your top phobias? Come and scare us in the thread below.

Aaranormal Activity


DEFINITION: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
It is called paranormal when there are events which are unusual; the name used refers to phenomena that occur as the psychological, physical and biological. After being studied cannot be explained by the causes and processes of the laws of physics established by science. So parapsychological phenomena point to the operation of factors usually unknown or unrecognized by science, which we usually refer as paranormal factors.
In some paranormal events we found spirits or souls that to show that they are still among the living, make an appearance visible or produce sounds, smells or move objects.
These phenomena are studied by parapsychology. Resulting inexplicable established sciences is necessary to consider a phenomenon as "paranormal", such effects must also have its own characteristics that distinguish them and depart from natural phenomena.

ARGUMENTS AGAINST:
- The truth is that most of us have no record that these things happen. There is a small group of people who affirm the existence of the paranormal or have the ability to appreciate it.
- Most wonder why some people do astral travel, see ghosts, read the future or have paranormal powers while other humans have no skills. It is also curious that these phenomena happen only in people who believe in them.
-Trust in paranormal powers, beings from another world or hidden energies always existed in human history. Over time many reasons appear to justify these events. The fear of death or thinking we can be alone in the universe are some of the causes for something beyond the real world.
- We need to understand and to explain the real world are other reasons. Early humans could not understand why natural disasters occurred, for example, and interpreted it as a punishment from the gods. When wanting to know is separated from mythological explanations begin to find rational explanations for all these phenomena.
-Many scientists who have investigated the claims of the paranormal for a long time never found evidence to support these paranormal events. Not that science can not explain, is that even their existence is found.

COMPUTER…


A personal computer (PC) is a general-purpose computer, whose size, capabilities, and original sale price makes it useful for individuals, and which is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer operato. The Programma 101, released in 1965, was the first commercial "desktop computer. Early computers didn't use chips or monitors. They weren't as small nor big like the ones today. Back in the early 1600 to 1800s, people had theories,plans, or ideas of making a device that could do complex problems and mathematics so that they wouldn't keep writing down problems and solve them manually. They wanted a device that could add and subtract.
Almost anything you know is run or made by computers. Cars and jets were designed on computers, traffic signals are run by computers, most medical equipment use computers and space exploration was started with computers. Most of the jobs today require the use of computers. These 'mechanical brains' made a huge impact on our society. It would be hard if we didn't have the computer around.
In my opinion the computer was a great invention for mankind without which medicine would not be as we know them today, can communicate with people who live far away and too close, through it we can get information, pictures, videos etc.. Sincerely computer greatly facilitated us life .

Netiquette


1.The Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated. This rule is an oldie but a goodie and can get you through just about any situation, online or off!
2. No "Flaming": Flaming is a form of verbal abuse when you intentionally attack or disrespect somebody for whatever reason. Maybe you didn't agree with something they said, but there's a nice way to share a different point of view without name calling or attacking someone. Harassing or insulting someone will not likely help you gain many online friends!
3. Respect Others' Copyrights: There are wonderful things online, information for everyone on just about any topic! However, these things have copyrights and licenses. Copying the works of someone else without permission or saying it is your own will not only ruin your online reputation, but could land you with hefty fines and lawsuits!
4. DON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPS: It hurts our eyes. It makes people think you are shouting at them. It's okay to type in caps to accentuate a word or two, but please don't do it all the time everywhere you go.
5. Don't Spam: As a blog owner, I get hundreds of spam messages each day. Most of them aren't even legible, with things like "kjhgsawu" typed in the comments and links to sites with adult or inappropriate content. I don't appreciate it! Some spammers are getting really sneaky, as they use the same generic post over and over again like "I really like your blog" - if you own multiple blogs like I do though you can quickly identify these types of spammers! There's a fine line between spam and self-promotion, do it very carefully!
6. Be Honest: Faking website statistics, pretending to be someone else, or trying to cheat people online will not only hurt your reputation but can land you in a lot of hot water. You know the line honesty is the best policy, it's also one of the 10 best rules for netiquette.
7. Use Proper Grammar & Spelling: If u rite liek this lol ppl might start 2 get mad lol. :) We understand spelling isn't always easy and typos and basic spelling mistakes will happen. But if it's distracting from your message, it can be annoying. Using a browser such as Firefox 3 with built in spell check can be a life saver for bad spellers! Be careful not to use too much web jargon, seeing lol used more than twice in a sentence or two is probably unnecessary and does not promote good internet etiquette.
8. Follow the TOS: Most sites have a terms of service policy that also lists rules of netiquette. Read it and abide by it! I am constantly reading discussions on MyLot about people who have had discussions deleted because what they posted did not meet the terms of the website.
9. Keep it PG-13: I never write or say anything I wouldn't let my kids read. It can really come back to haunt you if you write something that's not appropriate - as a blog owner, it could mean trouble withGoogle if you use them for adwords or like to be ranked in search engines since they seem to penalize swearing/adult content sites.
10. Research Your Facts/Cite Sources: I can't tell you how many times I read something (often politically related) that is not even close to the truth. There is so much information out there online, it can be very difficult to distinguish what is true and not true. Before posting something, forwarding emails, or going off on a tangent, make sure it is factual and cite sources if possible to boost your credibility. Not only will this help keep down on the hoaxes and insanity floating around online, but it can help make you build a solid reputation online.
This list of 10 Best Rules of Netiquette will help not only you but others have a much more enjoyable online experience. Have any other tips to add to the 10 best rules of netiquette and good online etiquette? Share it in the comments below.

In which of the areas in which we relate to other persons flaming occurs ?

Also i thank God for giving them to me as parents Jhon and Dwanye Jhon has  it and  that's  waht i love.
In my opinion , equal  adoption is that everyone has the roght to form a family and want to be a heterosexual or homosexual couple because no matter  how the family is formed but children feel love and happiness.
