These are my Wikipedia virtues, inspired by Benjamin Franklin's list of 13.

Virtues

1. Temperance: Edit not to dullness. Write not to work.
2. Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself. Avoid trifling conversation.
3. Industry: Lose no time. Be always employed in something useful. Cut off all unnecessary actions.
4. Faith: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
5. Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit. If you speak, speak accordingly.
6. Tranquility: Never engage in what brings out negative emotion. Avoid inflammatory articles or editors.
7. Humility: Do not boast about yourself.

Methods

1. Temperance: You firstly need to find the things you write about interesting, so that editing Wikipedia is personally fulfilling. Then, you can follow a Wikipedia schedule so you don't spent too much time on Wikipedia. The script Wikischedule helps with this.
2. Silence: You should review conversations and determine what could have not been said.
3. Industry: Decreasing the amount of time you have to edit Wikipedia will cause you to be more careful about how you spend it, causing less time to be wasted. A schedule can help with this.
4. Faith: This requires practise.
5. Sincerity: This requires practise.
6. Tranquility: Troubled editors should be avoided or otherwise muted.
7. Humility: This requires practise.
