Wikipedia:Take responsibility
This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
If there is a problem and nobody is doing anything about it; step up; do what is necessary. Just as it is appropriate to be bold when editing articles, it is also appropriate to do what is needed when dealing with a developing situation. Be cautious about jumping in too quickly; discuss proposed actions with other users; but, in the end, be brave enough to do what needs to be done.
