This is a set of aggressive policies developed over time by a large wiki. In the early days of English WP, when it was the size that Tamil WP is now, this was certainly not the case for well-meaning contributors. I do not know that the current en:wp policies represent best practices -- the research from the strategy project suggests that they are limiting growth and editor retention -- and in particular smaller wikis may have other needs and priorities. Of course ta:wp is welcome to adopt any policies that you wish, but I would not advise doing so simply because the English Wikipedia does.
