WikiProject:Dorset assessment of importance: proposed change

Yep 'Mid' sounds more sensible to me. I notice that the pages Geology of Dorset and Isle of Purbeck are both currently rated 'Mid'. One or both of those could possibly do with being increased to 'High'. Pasicles (talk) 17:20, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm inclined to agree - such a move would at least bring them both into line with History of Dorset and Isle of Portland respectively.

Kimmeridge
Kimmeridge is a small village and civil parish on the Isle of Purbeck, a peninsula in Dorset, England. The Kimmeridgian geological age is named after the village, which is also the type locality for Kimmeridge clay. The coastline of the parish forms part of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site.Photograph: David Iliff
