Yes, that's true. We aren't wikipedia, but seeing how similar the sites are, a lot of their policies and whatnot are applicable to wikia. In fact, I've noticed several pages on my wiki in the help and policy component that are adapeted from wikipedia, or useit's content - see this and this for examples. I think wikipedia's policy and general guidelines are incredibly effective, so why not use them for wikia to help get the success of wikipedia?
