"Rating"

What's the basis used by the Irish Republicanism project in deciding the relative importance of articles? It seems strange to me that the single atrocity claiming the most victims in Northern Ireland and which contributed a sea-change in attitudes north and south might just rate more than "Mid importance" - certainly so if minor IRA members get the same rating.

It's the rating of importance to the WikiProject, in terms of work that needs doing. Many articles have templates for several different WikiProjects, and will rate them differently in terms of priority. It's not to signify that a minor IRA member's article is as important as this article in terms of significance, more a case of those articles need more work doing on them more urgently. Hope that clarifies things? One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 11:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

It does, thanks :-) Bastun 11:45, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Also there are some articles which are rated slightly differently in terms of importance, for example any that have any prospect of becoming GA or FA in the not too distant future, they are given a higher priority. I'm probably wasting my time doing it, as project members will just edit what they feel like anyway.... One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 12:19, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
