Please exercise a little more restraint in placing your new Category:Extremism on articles-- a number that you have used it on are clearly not inherently extremist: Agnosticism, Criticism of religion, Religion, Ethics, Political criticism, among others, are simply not reasonable category members. The category itself is of doubtful value, as assigning is is largely a matter of point of view, which is something we strive to avoid at Wikipedia. -- Mwanner | Talk 18:35, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
On thinking this over more, I have decided to nominate the category for deletion. You may argue against its deletion here if you wish.
Sorry for this negative start to your career here at Wikipedia-- don't feel bad, this sort of thing happens a lot. Wikipedia is a huge place with an immense amount of policy, none of which is real obvious when you start out. I'm going to include a standard welcome message, to help you get started.
Welcome!
