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.
