Editing Encyclopedia:Accountability (section)

== From the viewpoint of rights and duties ==
All Wikipedia editors have the rights and duties to fulfil [[accountability]] for the good of Wikipedia. As such, all editors are also encouraged to help with the development of wikipedia's policies, guidelines, and practices. The rights and duties of [[accountability]] of all Wikipedia editors, however, are limited to matters concerning their edits or Wikipedia. Such an ordinary [[accountability]] is [[common sense]] and fundamental  to the [[ethics]] prevalent [[advanced countries]] all over the world.

=== Edit summaries ===
A key method to ensuring accountability it to always fill in "'''''Edit summaries'''''" meaningfully and with a full, clear explanation of the edit. Where relevant, the reason for the edit should also be mentioned.

{{dispute-resolution}}
This Wikipedia encyclopedia project has a variety of policy and guideline pages. Please look up and read the pages in which the matters you are concerned about are described. If you don't understand the information regarding your concern, feel free to ask questions, propose a new system, discuss with others, and seek [[Wikipedia:consensus|consensus]] on the appropriate page. If everyone involved does this, then you will generally feel satisfied with the outcome, even if your proposal was rejected.

There seem to be at least two different levels of [[accountability]] on Wikipedia.
# All editors have rights and duties to explain, question, propose, agree and object about whatever seems to be involved in this Wikipedia encyclopedia project. 
#* Such an ordinary practice of [[accountability]] seems to embody [[freedom of speech]] ideally.  
# However, there may be sensitive cases or controversial ones in which you should make more effort in order to perform your [[accountability]] as well as these ones in real society. In such cases, you should edit more [[WP:SENSE|comprehensibly, reasonably]], [[WP:CIVIL|kindly, politely, perseveringly]], [[WP:NPOV|neutrally]] or [[WP:A|attributably]], if you don't want to be reverted, ignored, blamed, accused, blocked or banned by other [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]] or [[Wikipedia:admins]]. But, it's very obvious that, occasionally, it's hard to explain to everyone's satisfaction.
#* Such a heavy burden of [[accountability]] seems to be necessary for the higher [[Wikipedia:Consensus]], nonetheless ( and unfortunately ). Probably it may be not so easy, but, please be as cool as possible, as kind as possible, and remain as objective as possible, because this is just Wikipedia encyclopedia project in which anyone is expected to be cool, kind and objective.
