[edit] October 2007

Please do not inappropriately remove categories from articles on Wikipedia, as you did to Nancy Wilson (religious leader). Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Wikipedia:Sandbox for test edits. Thank you. Cheers, Benjiboi 06:07, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Please understand, as I do, that articles generally should not be in a category and its subcategories. Whereas Nancy Wilson (religious leader) appears in one or more subcategories of Category:Christian ministers, she need not remain in the category. 72.69.207.11 14:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Your explanation does seem to make sense although categorization issues are not my forte. In the future try including an edit summary like "removing parent category" or something so the rest are assured it's not advanced vandalism. Benjiboi 11:31, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Christian ministers clean-up

Hi, category clean-up is not my specialty but I would first suggest you provide an edit summary every time you add or remove content, especially categories so other editors have a clue. I'm also concerned that some of your clean-up seemed to be simply removing minister from any MCC churches (the "gay" denomination) or recategorizing bios as clergy rather than minister, which seemed POV but certainly might be appropriate depending on the circumstances. I'm more comfortable leaving a category in error than removing a category that might help a reader find an article they seek; we are here to serve the readers and not anyone else.
