That depends on just what you are making policies about.  The principles 
of NPOV, respect for copyright and respect for each other are quite 
fundamental and should apply across the board.  Each project still needs 
to apply them in a way consistent with its own circumstances.  Naming 
conventions are very much project dependent.  The Esperanto Wikipedia 
has chosen to put surnames in all capitals.  Others have chosen not to 
follow that convention, but such an argument should not be used to make 
the Esperantists comply.
