[edit] Template on redirect pages

Should bird redirects have the {{BirdTalk}} template on their discussion pages? (For that matter, should they have ANYTHING on their discussion pages?!) Right now, the fact that so many DO have the template (most of which appear to have been added by an AWB program) is putting a lot of things in the "unassessed" category—even though the main articles have been assessed. Should I be removing them when I assess the articles, or should I leave them as ???? MeegsC | Talk 16:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What Is Being Measured By Importance Scale

Is the importance scale rating the importance of the article from the standpoint of ornithology overall or from the standpoint of the part of ornithology that it's dealing with? For example, the article on the House Sparrow may be relatively unimportant from the standpoint of ornithology (they seem to be everywhere) but from the standpoint of studying passerines, it may have more importance. So which scale of importance is considered in rating an article?--Onorio (talk) 00:16, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
