Clarence Thomas
[edit]Please stop adding Clarence Thomas to Category:African American politicians; Thomas is a jurist not a politician. While the soi-disant legal realists might say that there is no difference, asserting so here in this fashion would violate WP:NPOV. Several editors have already have to remove this miscategorization and it's becoming a bore, so please stop. - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 18:04, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Doing things right
[edit]Hello, Chexandy89 - I see that you're new to Wiki, so I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm. However, I've already noticed that you're running into problems over some of your edits. So please let me recommend that you slow down a bit and take some time to read through the tutorials that are linked in your welcome message. Categories are especially tricky for newcomers, so I would strongly advise you to wait until you are more familiar with what makes for a "good" category before you create any more new ones. Otherwise you're likely to continue to run into the same kinds of problems that you've been encountering. Good luck with your future editing! Cgingold (talk) 20:09, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
I'll echo that sentiment. In particular, note that categories are arranged in hierarchies, and you generally include only the most specific ones for an article. So for example, if someone is a female U.S. senator, she goes into Category:Female United States Senators. Once that is done, there is no need to include her into Category:American women in politics as well, because that's a parent category of the first one. In other words, every female U.S. Senator is by definition also an American woman in politics, so there's no need to add the second category, and we don't do it.

Speedy deletion nomination of Andrew J. Shapiro
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Andrew J. Shapiro requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Britney Spears. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. This[1] edit constitutes vandalism. It's not even that humorous. VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 15:33, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
