Question[edit]

Someone seems to have gone through the effort of somehow arranging things in such a way that any person who is shifted into one of the subcategories of "People from Alabama" still remains on the main category list. I personally question the logic of this action. The purpose of creating subcategories is to allow people to more easily find individual pages. Not all individual pages of people from Alabama are likely to ever be placed in subcategories, making it all that much harder to find any people from areas with lesser populations which are not included in any of the subcategories. I would request whoever did this to think these concerns over and possibly change the situation. Thank you. Badbilltucker 01:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
