When you consider a "top tier conference", how do you know you are not
excluding contributions that might be not just novel but also truly
important?
It seems that page rank plays the role of beauty contest in the sense
that top-ranked pages are those already in the view of others. I have
seen comments that this filters against novelty, possibly crucial
novelty.

We considered including top-tier conferences, but the question is, what is a
"top conference"? In trying to answer this, we looked at a couple of
sources:
* Top Tier and 2nd tier conferences from
http://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~zaiane/htmldocs/ConfRanking.html
* A-ranked conferences in Information and Computing Sciences from

* We also considered including all WikiSym articles on Wikipedia
