Common core policies should be on Meta, not Incubator.

and only this to the wikilawyers removing all community input into the
process. Also for many people they dont follow meta so what will also
happen is that these will get changed and the new policy will become
via a forced cascade to the communities. I for one could never
support any process being created as a means to take away from the
community its own solutions

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].
Things are not so simple.
