[edit] Suggestions

If you would like to suggest that the assessment committee change its ways of assessing articles, or have an idea about how to assess certain types of articles, place your suggestion here.

[edit] Precedents

Trying to find precedents for importance levels, I'd suggest:

• Venues

• Main Olympic Stadiums - mid
• Other sports venues - low

• People

• People intimately associated with Olympics e.g. Steve Redgrave, Seb Coe - high
• Gold medal winners - mid
• other competitors - low

Precedents already set:

• High

• specific Games e.g. 1896 Summer Olympics
• A country's overall performance at the Games Austria at the Summer Olympics
• A sport's overall activity at the Games Cycling at the Summer Olympics

• Mid

• A country's performance at a specific Games Andorra at the 1980 Winter Olympics
• A sport's activity at a specific Games Bobsleigh at the 1948 Winter Olympics

• Low

• Specific sport events at a specific Games Athletics at the 1896 Summer Olympics - Men's 100 metres

This seems to be what I would think too. I like the thing about solving the venues problem, with the main Olympic stadia (usually only 1 or 2 per games) as mid and everything else as low. As far as people, I'm really not sure how we should do this. What I would say is any non-medal winner should be low, and medal winners, depending on their status and recognition should rank anywhere from high to mid, possibly low. I'm not really sure. Just a suggestion. _└^Jared_┘^┌_talk^┐  20:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
