CategoryThis category does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

I would like to suggest you eliminate this category, due to the following reasons:

  • "Importance" is not a useful tag. It's misleading. The reader is the one who should decide what is high or low "importance". And you access that by the number of accesses in the page.
  • Importance is not the same as priority.
  • Wording in this ranking diminishes the taxon. Sounds offensive if you happen to be working with the organism classified as "low importance". If you actually work with biodiversity, should know that no taxon should be called "low importance".--Land Moil (talk) 20:04, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
