Wikipedia:More rights does not mean better

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many users think that having more user rights than other users makes them better or gives them the rights to vandalise a page, but that's not the case. Once you have been granted these rights you should rather help others than act like you're better than them. you should also help fixing pages instead of vandalising them.

Because that's one of the purposes of Wikipedia, offering a safe space for everyone including readers and editors rather than being an unreliable, not safe, bad and a website which everyone avoids. Breaking this purpose makes you a bad editor that everyone hates.

I found a person abusing their rights, what do I do?[change source]

Keep assuming in Good faith and report it to any active Adminstrator or open a topic about it in the Administrators' noticeboard so that Administrators can be aware about this person and try to warn or even block them.
