It appears that Russian Wikipedia is about to reject Verifiability as a policy:
http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%…
Verifiability is usually considered one of the 3 core content policies
on English Wikipedia.
This leads to a question; must the different Wikipedias have the same
core policies? Could Russian Wikipedia do away with NPOV and NOR as
well? Could some other language Wikipedia do away with WP:CIVIL,
etc.?
