Editing Appropedia:High impact content

{{Proposed Appropedia policy}}

It is suggested that a team of qualified experts (scientists and engineers) be assembled to rank, assess and tag pages according to impact. Selected pages will be marked as [[high impact content]] or [[major impact content]].

:''Which is the preferred term?''

There may only a small number of pages in total assessed (say 50 pages). These are assessed to be the highest impact actions that can be taken (individually or collectively) towards:

* Reducing our environmental impact, especially regarding [[climate change]]
* [[Poverty alleviation|Reducing poverty]].

The assessment process, with all calculations, should be as open as possible.

== Focus ==

It is probably necessary to have a central team which focuses on "high impact" material, and tries very hard not to get distracted excessively by material outside this arena.

* We have a larger team of admins apart from the central team which maintains all other pages.
* This larger team also has understand and agree to the scientific and factual basis of the site - they follow a more inclusionist approach, but don't they tolerate pseudoscience.

== Proposing high impact content ==

Proposals for high impact content (HIC) are placed on:

* [[Talk:Poverty HIC proposals]].
* [[Talk:Public health HIC proposals]] (or is this included in Poverty HIC proposals?)
* [[Talk:Climate change HIC proposals]]

Other suggestions? Should we have [[Talk:Biodiversity HIC proposals]]?

== Tagging and displaying ==

Clear tags (notice templates with included categories) will be created, to be displayed at the top of articles.

Major impact articles are given pre-eminence on all landing pages (main page, portal pages, category pages).
