How cute. I took a look at the ANI, and the idea seems to have been hijacked. Also, the point that it is on the talk page of the prophet seems to go unnoticed. I'm not sure why this can't exist as a subjection of WP:NOTCENSORED. Talk pages are for improving articles, not explaining policy. Lawshoot! 01:42, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Article importance is an assessment of a topic's importance in understanding a specific higher level topic. Assessments are maintained by WikiProjects and reflect the project's view of what is essential to understanding their scope. In the VG Project's case, all importance scales are in terms of understanding video games.
Recent discussions at the VG Project's talk page have called for revisions to the practice of assigning article importance. The discussion began in mid-November with the goal of clarifying what level of importance should be assigned to certain type of articles. It eventually expanded to creating a standardized table of importance to serve as a guide for current and future editors.
The discussion has focused on and shifted to several topics including flaws of previous practices, new ways to view assessment, other project practices to emulate, and specific articles which are exceptions to proposed guidelines. A brief pole and discussion determined most editors felt that the bulk of some topics—specifically individual video game, series, and character articles—were not essential to understanding video games, making them ineligible for top importance. The discussion then shifted to tweaking the wording and layout of the table.
The current proposed table is being discussed on the project's talk page, and the issue of whether some topics—specifically character articles—should be allowed to be rated importance has also been brought up. As always, member are encouraged to voice their opinions and engage in discussion to determine consensus so the new assessment scale can be implemented.

Hi! You posted at Talk:Swede (root vegetable) about the move of that article, so I thought you might be interested in the "requested move" discussion that is currently going on. ---Tkynerd (talk) 22:53, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Legality?

I've responded on the page here to the question of legality in the article. Since you're an admin I really can't find a "legal" policy if you what I mean. I realies Wikipedia isn't censored but surely giving out instructions may violate law? (even though there isn't global law...) STOPkillingMuslimsTalkContribs 23:17, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm not an admin, but nice of you to think so. I'll respond on the talk page. Merry Xmas. Lawshoot! 03:00, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Sweet! Thanks for the xmas message, hope you had a good one. I was actually fooled for thinking you're an admin. Now that hasn't happened in a long time. Anyway, I'll give a lengthy response in the next couple of hours on the article. (P.S. Do you live in San Diego?) STOPkillingMuslimsTalkContribs 16:13, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Look forward to the response on the discussion page - interesting topic, right? And yes, I live downtown. Lawshoot! 04:02, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
