Wikipedia:WikiProject Saskatchewan/Assessment/Importance

A factor to consider is whether the importance/priority descriptors should focus almost entirely on the importance of the person or subject rather than the importance of having an article on that person or subject. Is the subject or person important to understanding Saskatchewan or is the article about the subject or person of priority for editors to focus improvements upon, and to have a work list of core articles to improve.[1] See articles selected Sk Communities, SK, SK roads. An attempt is made to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated.[2] Check in the left column under Statistics what the Traffic stats are for the particular article being assessed to determine how to rate it in terms of priority for improvement. This webiste will also show hits per article and the top 1,000 wikipedia articles or these lists or wikirage.
