NPOV is mainly a principle of Wikipedia, later also
used by Wikibooks
and Wikinews. There is at least one project (Wikiversity) which
explicitely allow participants not to follow NPOV, but the Disclosure of
Point of Views in Wikiversity follow in principle the ideal of NPOV: It
tells the reader and participants that the content has a point of view
and thus gives the reader and participants to be aware of this and
accordingly to adjust their judgement in reading and writing the content.
I think the point is to have whatever would be the locally relevant
version of neutrality. On Wikipedia it's NPOV. On Commons or
Wikisource, I expect it would be neutrality of subject matter. Etc.
The key point would be (something like) that Wikimedia projects are
not for pushing views.
