I would set most of the big chain parks in the High category, with most of Screamscape's "Small Parks" (at least the American/European ones) in the Mid. Most water parks could probably be Mid as well, but those and parks outside the US and Europe should be covered more to balance out systemic bias.

The four levels are based on that Knowledge (XXG) 1.0 thing and is set up in the assessment bot. But we could just put the Amusement park article in TOP and then everything else in high, med, low. Because the decision of whether something is notable is still very subjective, I think that we can't be

we use the importance scale. Personally, I don't think it should be followed overly strictly, but more as a guide to get our priorities sorted. I don't know whether it's possible, but it would be much easier to have just 3 levels of importance - high, mid and low - you can generally get a feel for
531:. I feel that the new table retains some of the original information but makes it easier for a non-project member, who may already be familiar with other project importance scales, to understand the grade assigned to an article without checking the chart. 49: 524: 403:
too strict about this. I invited some of the other members to the project to comment if they care too. If we don't hear in a couple of days, we might start making assessments based on these criteria.--

There hasn't been any activity here in a long time, but for anyone who is interested, I've completely reconstructed the importance scale. I brought it up to Knowledge (XXG)'s standards as outlined at

Yep, seems good to me. They echo the roller coaster importance quite nicely too, which helps having uniformity across the topic. As for the low importance articles -
567: 562: 535:, it was also less clear where certain topics would fall under the listed criteria if it wasn't specifically mentioned. You can view the changes I made here – 174: 84: 17: 445:
I edited the list above, bold showing new. So low would be?? Can you come up with an example? Think i marked something low yesterday, I should go look. --

We need to decide on an importance scale. Borrowing from the one for roller coasters, we could do something like:

Other than that the scale looks ok. Roller coaster designers and park chain CEOs (e.g.
