Personally, I have always found Wikipedia's basic guidelines and essays to be very helpful and enlightening. A few times in the past when I had discouraging encounters with other editors, reading through "Wikipedia:Assume good faith" and related essays made me feel more hopeful. Those essays serve as a reminder that when I am feeling frustrated in a conflict I should still pick words that will improve the situation instead of the ones that feel most personally satisfying in the short term.

I think that many wikia communities would benefit from the essays on Wikipedia, so I hope that this project will have a similar effect.
