[edit] Moving comment

I'd rather it was down the bottom and seperate from the rest - the rest of the stuff is really missing the point to be honest! Folk seem to think that it's fine to spam Wikipedia with links to their favourite fan site, it's not - Wikipedia's not a blog, and it's not a link directory.

But in saying thatm full marks for trying to acheive some sort of consensus/L/wangi 21:26, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories are a hierarchy

Hi, I note that you have only been editing Wikipedia since Feb, and have primarily confined yourself to tennis articles. This may explain your lack of familiarity with the categorisation system. Please read Wikipedia:Category, and subpages, and also have a thorough browse of some different category trees (not just biogs, nor sport) - eg. start at Category:Fundamental. There you will see that articles are not entered in both a category and its parent. Category:Scottish tennis players is a subcat of Category:British tennis players, therefore we do not need to enter it in both: by being in the Scottish subcat it is already in the UK-wide cat. Have a look at the many other branches of Category:British sportspeople.

Personally, as an editor very keen to promote all Scotland-related articles, it suits me fine to have articles double-categorised, but it is certainly considered to be bad Wikipedia practice to double-categorise.

Have a good browse and read. I will not be reverting you, cos it just ain't important enough, but please do not think that this is a novel situation: there are tens of thousands of precedents on thousands of Talk pages. --Mais oui! 13:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
