The Five Pillars of Wikipedia are considered fundamental to the Wikipedia project. No one pillar is taller or shorter than the other — it is critical that each pillar have the same importance for the good of the entire project.

If one pillar was less important than another, then we would just have the "four pillars of Wikipedia" — but there are five.
