KUKU or GUUGU?! proper [or at least consistant] anglicisation needs to be agreed on and adopted, for this page to link to the Kuku Yalanji wikisite. mangonorth
Hi John,
I noticed you undid my edit to the WP:Australia rating of the Guugu Yimithirr language article by reediting the article and reverting the rating to "High Importance". I completely disagree with this rating, and I believe while the "high" rating may apply for some more common aboriginal languages in Wikiproject languages; a 'High Importance' rating for obscure aboriginal languages does NOT apply to WikiProject Australia.
In order to assess an article as "High" importance the topic should be extremely notable and should reflect the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia (or average Australian reader) needing to look up the topic.
My belief is that the number of students that study obscure (or even near-extinct) Australian aboriginal languages, is an extremely small percentage of students. Further, aboriginal languages are not known, or of general interest, to general public of Australia; or of interest to general English Wikipedia community (see relevant page views). They are a specialist topic related primarily to the indigenous people of Australia. While they may rate more highly for the WikiProject:Australia indigenous taskforce; perhaps even at mid importance or higher; that rating does not apply in the general WikiProject:Australia importance scale.
For comparison for Wikiproject Australia articles do rate as "High importance" , see: Tasmanian Devil, The Wiggles, Donald Bradman, Military history of Australia, Australia Day, Edmund Barton, Native title in Australia, Uluru or the Australian coat of arms.
If you agree after reviewing the criteria, that such Aboriginal language articles should be rated as 'low importance', please either change rollback to/restore my version; or let me know it is OK for me to do so. If you still disagree, we can ask for a Third Opinion from WikiProject Australia.
