[edit] Ok

I agree with you in that subject, but don´t eliminated the tag of venezuelan musicians to the harpists and classical musicians, because this is the principal category, for all the venezuelan that make music.

[edit] List of Cellists

And the time I put into that. Oh well, better knowing late than never.. The rationale I had behind adding all cellists to Category:Cellists:

• Dynamic list of all cellists. This way, all cellists on Wikipedia are guaranteed to be on the list, as long as they're correctly tagged.
• Easy sorting. This way, one could access a cellist through the category by name or nationality.

Is there any way I could do this with the categories page and not have redundant tagging? Or, editing List of cellists with a script of some sort to be dynamic?

Last, thanks for the adoption. :) --CA387 08:34, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back, then. Don't worry about going MIA—it gave me an excuse to finish my term paper rather than blow more time on WP. ;) You say you work as a lawyer? Anyway, after thinking about the category guidelines for WP:MUSICIANS, they seem rather inefficient: the only way I could see not adding musicians to their parent category as sensible would be if Wikipedia automatically listed members of all subcategories. And as far as a page with all Americans listed, what about Category:Living people? Goes to show you how the category thing is superior to list pages. Not to mention the fact that the list pages themselves can't even conform to a standard, as some are by date (oboists, violinists), others by alphabetical order (List of cellists). Or problem of, say, an ethnically Scottish violinist that lives in London. What I propose is hierarchy somewhat like this, in which a member would be added into a specific category and all parent categories:

• Musicians
  • Musicians by genre
  • Musicians by nationality
  • Musicians by instrument
    • (Specific Instrumentalist)s
      • SIs by nationality
      • SIs by genre
      • SIs by profession
        • SI teachers
        • SI performers
          • SI soloists
          • SI orchestral players
          • SI band members
          • SI chamber musicians

Thoughts, before I add it to the Project discussion?

I also did come across WP:AWB during my recent WP travels, and drooled a bit. And most of those unlabeled edits are, in fact, due to negligence on my part, so thanks for the tip—and don't worry about "unsolicited advice". That's what I'm here for. :) --CA387 20:09, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plaid Cymru

This article is still the subject of much controversy. If you could find time to look at it and perhaps make a contribution to the debate, it would be appreciated. Deb 14:49, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Repetitive edit

I have just posted my thoughts to the item's discussion page, they are:

I have removed the repetitive entry from every single day; however I see that I am not the first, nor I suspect the last to do this. My objection is not the fact that the daily (I will accept as a matter of good faith that it was in fact daily) use of rocketry is being noted but the way of its inclusion. Some days, for instance July 28, already have a record of the rocketry included in the narrative; by giving details and even citation for that days rocketry the entry for the day has considerably more believability.

I will drop the same on the users page for 213.219.16.20 to let s/he have a suggestion of a way forward. --Drappel 17:39, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
