Do Prime Ministers count as high importance? Guettarda 15:20, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Good question. I would think yes, except in extreme cases (serving only a few non-notable weeks or months, for instance.) Badbilltucker 15:28, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Prime Ministers, Presidents or Monarchs (e.g. Kings) of a country should be in high importance of that particular country's WikiProject (or WikiProject task force). Chongkian (talk) 14:44, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that Jwilbur placed Hispaniola into Top inmportance. I don't have a clear sense of what I consider top importance here. I think we should talk about what we consider Top, High, Mid and Low importance. Guettarda 14:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That one usually explained (or you can add explanation) in Wikipedia:WikiProject Caribbean/Assessment. But of course you can initiate the discussion here if there are still some missing information regarding the assessment. Chongkian (talk) 00:38, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My suggestion for importance scale is something like this

Top

• Caribbean
• Major topics about the Caribbean (e.g., History of the Caribbean, Geography of the Caribbean)
• National entities (whether independent or not)
• Hispaniola (as a multi-national island)

High

• Subdivisions of nations with clear national identities (Tobago, Nevis) or major subdivisions of non-Caribbean nations (Florida Keys, Margarita)
• Major national leaders (Prime Ministers, Governors, etc.)
• Major regional figures (Bob Marley)
• Major cities
• Major topics about national entities (e.g., History of Puerto Rico, Geography of Cuba)

Mid

• Nationally prominent figures (politicians, musicians, trade unionists)
• Smaller cities and towns
• Sub-topics about national entities (e.g., Military history of Puerto Rico)
• Sub-national entities
• Major schools
• Major buildings (Parliament buildings, etc.)
• Plant, animal & microbial species

Low

• Smaller towns and villages
• Locally prominent figures
• Minor secondary schools, primary schools
• Other buildings

How's that for a start? Guettarda 17:00, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, that looks really good. It is just what I was thinking. If no one objects, we should add it to the Assessment page. Jwillbur 20:21, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As for the top-importance "major topics", here is my go at creating a complete list:

• Culture of the Caribbean
• Economy of the Caribbean (?)
• Geography of the Caribbean
• History of the Caribbean
• Politics of the Caribbean

I'm not sure "Economy of" should be in there, and "Politics of" could be replaced with "Government of". These would be the same major topics for country-level (high-importance) articles, i.e. Culture of Jamaica, Economy of Jamaica, etc. Thoughts? Jwillbur 21:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey... you need to acess this: Tropical Storm Fay (2008)

Did you mean assessed? The article has been fully assessed. Chongkian (talk) 02:22, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
