:A basic idea of our category system is that an article should be in a parent category ''or'' a subcategory, not both. SO, the usual rules of category maintenance say that either [[:Category:Irish female singers]] can stay, or [[:Category:Female singers from Northern Ireland]]. If there's good reason to revert, well, go ahead, but that's how categories are apposed to work, articles are put as far down the tree in subcategories as they can be, and higher level categories are filled with articles that can go no further down, all the way back up to [[:Category:Contents]]. Like I said, if there's good reason for an exception, so be it, but it looked like standard [[WP:OCAT]] maintenance to me. [[User:Courcelles|Courcelles]] 16:39, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

  • NB: Im pretty much not here except to poke on and make the occasional edit, or handle a tiny bit of ArbCom business. Basically, looking at light *hurts* the vast majority of the time. I might be around soon, or I might not, basically, you'll get better service elsewhere for the time being. Courcelles 05:18, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oversight Backlog

Hey, I filed an RFO request this morning and I haven't gotten a response yet. I think there might be a backlog at RFO. Could you take a look, please? - NeutralhomerTalk21:31, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Yes, we're in a bit of a lull of activity - a couple of oversighters have had less time lately to handle requests. I've gone ahead and dealt with yours, Neutralhomer. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 21:38, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks FN, much appreciated. :) - NeutralhomerTalk21:40, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A basic idea of our category system is that an article should be in a parent category or a subcategory, not both. SO, the usual rules of category maintenance say that either Category:Irish female singers can stay, or Category:Female singers from Northern Ireland. If there's good reason to revert, well, go ahead, but that's how categories are apposed to work, articles are put as far down the tree in subcategories as they can be, and higher level categories are filled with articles that can go no further down, all the way back up to Category:Contents. Like I said, if there's good reason for an exception, so be it, but it looked like standard WP:OCAT maintenance to me. Courcelles 16:39, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
