Knowing very little about Wikiversity and Wikispecies, I'd be interested in
how that can work.  I mean, for the general public to collaborate on a wiki,
you have to have some form of rule about objectivity, don't you?

I understand that NPOV has a meaning within the English Wikipedia which
doesn't apply in most of the other projects, but there is an essence of it
that applies to all the projects, isn't there?

Maybe I'm wrong.  I'm really interested in your answer if I am.
