importance assessment

edit

The importance assessment seems wrong. Differential Games are an important part of game theory and have many important applications in military operations research and control theory.Shuroo (talk) 14:04, 5 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

My reasoning for the "low" importance was based on some old conversations in the Game Theory wikiproject. It was argued (and I was mostly convinced) that biographies should get "low" status in most cases, and that higher importance should go to articles on the topic itself (in this case differential games). Anyway, that's the idea. CRETOG8(t/c) 15:52, 5 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
