Talk:List of sustainability topics (A)

Hi Yamakiri It is my understanding that in searching for information in Wikipedia it is possible, and desirable, to use both categories and lists. In setting up these lists I am following the example of some great Wikipedians and some great Wikipedian work. I suggest you look at page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_basic_geography_topics - which is what I intend to do for sustainability. It is extremely useful in locating individual entries. Could you please give me a good reason why I should not follow this example in Geography. Granitethighs (talk) 23:53, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

I have already been told about signing pages and stopped doing that as soon as I was asked. Have you looked at the Geography page I mention above - I do not at present think you have presented sufficient reason for deletion - a single page will soon be too cumbersome.I would appreciate a more considered response.Granitethighs (talk) 00:01, 6 July 2008 (UTC) I will not bother you again, but I am not convinced. The pages I set up were "under development" - yes I should have used a template but the message was clear. Each page would, very soon, have contained much more material than is currently there. I was setting the pages up so that I could add much more to each, and I repeat, the Geography example is precisely what I wished to do - it is extremely useful and a legitimate way of organising Wikipedia searching. I shall have to go to appeal - essentially on the grounds that I am following the recommended procedure used in the single example listed at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Lists_of_basic_topics. On this page the geography article is cited as exemplary - in other words all I was doing was following recommended Wikipedia procedure. I ask you to read the suggested approach to formulating basic lists and reconsider. By the way a lot of work went into these lists and I would like to know where you have put the combined list Granitethighs (talk) 00:22, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
