Consistent compliance with Wikipedia policy is more important than your personal beliefs. Inconsistent compliance is a good sign of activist editing.
For example, if you assert something, and are presented with countering evidence from a reliable source, do you consider changing your position like a reasonable editor, or do you ignore it to argue your position?
When you join a wiki community, be a constructive editor.
When asking a question at the Help desk or the Reference desk, please include all the facts needed to answer the question. For example, do not ask "who was president in 1900?" without mentioning the country you are interested in. This prevents the volunteers of those departments from having to ask follow-up questions before providing answers. Friendly reminder: the Help desk is for questions on how to use Wikipedia, while the Reference desk is for questions about anything else (real world questions).
