Without common core policies they can not claim that the projects stick
within their boundaries. Is a project without a clear policy on "no
original research", "verifiability" and "neutral point of view"
Wikipedia?
Is it enough to just say it is "Wikipedia" to be "Wikipedia"? I
believe
there should be clearer boundaries on what it means to be "Wikipedia", or
"Wikiversity" or "Wiktionary", or some other "Wiki*".

The English Wikivoyage has a "Be fair" policy, which is explicitly
different from NPOV [0]. Copyright also varies from wiki to wiki, as
fair
use for non-free content on the English Wikipedia exemplifies [1].
And English Wikiversity (and maybe other Wikiversities?) allows original
research (within certain guidelines).
