Isn't "do what's right" the same as "assume good faith and assume the assumption of good faith" ?
No, because in this context, "do what's right" means "you may ignore rules for reasons other than the ones just listed". (It only lists improving and maintaining the encyclopedia; protecting people is not listed.)
I suppose you could word it to say "assume good faith" instead while achieving the same effect, but it would be very awkward wording. Feel free to suggest better wording.
