Why is Lauretta Kress rated low-importance while her husband is rated mid-importance?[edit]

I'm puzzled why a couple who attended medical school together, graduated together, wrote and published together, worked with Kellogg together, etc. would receive different rating levels of importance. It seems that they should both have the same level, yes? She seems to have dropped out of history more than him because she is a woman, but reading their life stories I can't see any difference in their levels of importance. Thoughts?

When I add a rating I always just add low-importance to get the WikiProject template started, it can be changed by any editor. I add the WikiProject templates but don't do the ratings. Just add it to mid-importance. Also see the Lenna F. Cooper talk-page. I think many of the importance ratings could be updated. Psychologist Guy (talk) 00:01, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for a fast and clear reply. Makes sense! Fortunaa (talk) 02:17, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Each group ("WikiProject") has its own ideas of which articles are important/have priority for improvements. For Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Assessment, all people should be marked as |importance=Low |society=yes. For other groups, the rule of thumb will be completely different.
