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

Top importance
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)
 * That one usually explained (or you can add explanation) in 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)

Importance scale
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)


 * 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)
 * 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)

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)
