Projects
Why two projects? And which is more relevant? As for quality scale and importance scale, aren't these rather subjective, up to the reader to decide. J.H.McDonnell (talk) 17:02, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * A topic can be relevant to more than one project, e.g. Turkish dance may be relevant to WP:WikiProject Turkey and WP:WikiProject Dance, and this subject straddles the realms of both cephalopod research and paleontology, without being repetitive (listing in WP:CEPH and  WP:Animals and WP:Geology would be excessive and redundant). Listing in multiple projects allows for increased visibility among participants. The relative importance may vary depending on project, and there is some amount of subjectivity both in importance and quality ranking, but the ranks are more to be thought of as benchmarks leading an article, eventually (ideally), to GA status. Importance is more of a measure of how to prioritize articles rather than their inherent notability: there are plenty of good articles on "low importance" subjects, but if the average reader isn't likely to be searching for some obscure taxon or topic, the impetus to focus attention on such articles is less. For some reason unknown to me, WP:WikiProject Cephalopods does not have any sort of ranking, which to me represents a failure to identify both high quality works and those most in need of expansion.
