[edit] Pollutant category
I had removed the Category:Pollutants since I placed the article in the more specific category of Category:Air pollution. Alan Liefting 22:24, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comment. Alan, the Category:Pollutants only has about a dozen articles. Seven of them (namely Nitrogen Oxide, Nitrogen Oxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Peroxyacyl Nitrates (PANs), Ozone, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and SO2) are air pollutants. If we transferred all of them to the "more specific" Category:Air pollution, the Category:Pollutants would be sadly depleted.
- But that isn't my main point. My main point is that readers coming to Wikipedia to search for information about a pollutant will probably look for the specific pollutant's name (like Nitrogen dioxide) ... or they might look for "pollutants" ... or they might look for "air pollutants" ... or they might look for "smog" or "haze" or "greenhouse gas" ... or for many other keywords. I don't think we should limit them to the point that if they don't happen to search for the "more specific" keywords of "air pollutants", they will leave empty-handed. Quite the contrary, we should try to think of all the possible category keywords they might use and make sure that we list in those categories. In other words, make it easier for them to find what they are looking for ... not harder.mbeychok 23:27, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
