[edit] Recategorization of "Reginald Hugh Hickling"
Hi, Alex, thanks for recategorizing "Reginald Hugh Hickling" under "Category:British colonial governors and administrators". I'm curious – is there any easy way to find out what existing categories are suitable for a particular article? I looked, but don't remember coming across the category mentioned above at all. Cheers, Jacklee 00:10, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- I just happened to know about that one, but you could try looking in the top category in the relevant field, which in this case would be category:British Empire. Alex Middleton 00:48, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
I think I did! Must have missed it. Cheers, Jacklee 00:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Old Erehwonerians
Hi, Alex. May I trouble you, would you please visit this discussion on the Categories for Discussion page and add your usual rational contribution? regards, Xn4 03:59, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
I must admit to being a little bit confused by your edit to this article. Surely it's better to have "place of birth/death missing" cats in the article rather than on the Talk page, so that editors will see them as they do cleanup tags, which is basically what they are? If there's a policy/guideline that states otherwise, apologies, but I still find it odd. Loganberry (Talk) 22:08, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- It is well established that administrative categories are put on the talk page wherever possible (all of them should be in my opinion). Most users are readers only, and if the list of categories at the bottom of the page is cluttered up with administrative categories, it is almost unusable. It looks sloppy, amateurish and selfish (on the part of editors who are running things for their own convenience, not for the benefit of readers). Alex Middleton 12:36, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Admin category
Sorry about adding an administrative category to the main pages of numerous articles as opposed to the Talk pages. I didn't know they belonged on the Talk page—thanks for your work in fixing them and I'm sorry you had to do it. ... :) Rich Uncle Skeleton (talk) 21:45, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Could you offer your opinion on the discussion on the Ossie Davis Talk Page? Thanks. Nightscream 16:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Olympic Athlete
I got your message about Olympic athletes, I'm not trying to make a WP:POINT about athletic notability. Which article in particular are you refering to? I looked at my Watchlist, your recent contribs, and didn't see any overlap. There were some articles a few days ago with User talk:Darius Dhlomo, are those what your refering to? How far down do we go for Athlete Notability? 9th place at a single Olympics? 20th?, national qualifying? I'd like to know just so I can try and be more consistent. Obviously Donata Jancewicz was a mistake cause she set a national record, but would coming in 9th in an Olympic games, w/o the record, qualify her for inclusion? And Cristina Fink won a major competition, but came in 20th in the olympics and no national record? I think I got it right with Katarzyna Majchrzak since its red-linked now. Thanks.

- The fact that it is red-linked simply exposes that Wikipedia has inadequate editorial resources to repair all the damage that is done. Alex Middleton (talk) 18:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Heinrich Hertz
Please consider re-visiting Talk:Heinrich Hertz#jewish ancestry. I'd be interested in your feedback about the suggested edit strategy I've proposed. --Ooperhoofd (talk) 15:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
