[edit] Categories and alphabetical sorting

Hi there. Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw your comment on the Talk page for David Griffiths (portrait painter) about not knowing how to get him to show up in the right place in the categories. The trick is to use a pipe symbol straight after the name. I have done this, so you can see what I mean by looking at the source again. I have also made a number of other changes. I think they're all mentioned in the edit summary. One thing I have left untouched for now but which other editors may not is the note "Regarded as one of the U.K's foremost portrait painters". You really need to say who regards him as that: currently it's his website, which may not be entirely unbiassed. I'll try to find something in the National Library stuff.

Incidentally, the way to sign your comments is to type four ~ marks in a row: when I type ~~~~ without escaping it with the appropriate tag, I shall sign off as.... Telsa 18:18, 4 December 2005 (UTC) :)
