Most of us believe, that due to internet anonymity, our wiki-actions or 'wiki-karma', have no consequences or do not reflect upon how we are and behave in real life, however they do so abundantly.
"Wealth without work
Pleasure without conscience
Science without humanity
Knowledge without character
Politics without principle
Commerce without morality
Worship without sacrifice."
That is why, just as in real life, a good wikipedian is the one, who is a good human being as well, and practices civility. None of whose 'wiki karma', actions, show of lack compassion no matter how justified, otherwise we fail no matter how good wikipedia reads externally to the world, because we have failed as a human being. History tells us knowledge without compassion is not just dangerous but also disastrous; so is power without sense of service and above all humility. And what we sow here we shall also reap, both here and in real life. Nothing is more permanent than our actions, wiki actions can be reverted, but the karma they create cannot be, may we act with this knowledge, everyday! Even if no one notices, our soul and page history does.
Knowing this, may our actions be mindful and follow the Golden rule wherever we can, after if we do not learn this during our lifetime, have we learnt anything? Also when I do something "good" knowingly I stay trapped in the cycle of karma, so it is much wiser to ensure our actions remain selfless, are inspired rather than ambitious.

जीवन काव्य हो, तो बेहतर! - Translation: Poetry in life, is good.
If life is poetry, even better!

Nations needs builders, so does wikipedia. I love to help first time article creators, by helping them and their efforts as much as I can! When they feel encouraged, welcomed and nurtured, they would stay on, thus shall increase the lot of wikipedians! :)
