Categories
[edit]Hello. Regarding this recent edit of yours,[1] I noticed you attempted to add an item directly to a category page.
In Wikipedia, categories must be added to the article, not the other way around. Please see Wikipedia:FAQ/Categorization#How do I add an article to a category? For newer editors, it's understandably a counter-intuitive system.
Category pages are not intended to be exhaustive lists. They are navigation aids; merely groupings of related, existing English Wikipedia pages.
To categorize an article, first make sure it actually belongs to the category. Then, go to the article and add the category at the bottom of the page. To remove an article from a category, edit the article and remove the category. For instructions on how to do all this using VisualEditor, see Help:VisualEditor § Editing categories.
For further detailed information, see Help:Category and Wikipedia:Categorization. Let me know if you need any assistance or have any questions. Cheers! --DB1729talk 02:07, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Military Cross
[edit]There are over 52,000 recipients of the Military cross, over 2,300 of which have their own article. We can't list them all in the Military Cross article, so that just lists the "firsts" - Arjayay (talk) 07:37, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
April 2023
[edit]Hello. Your recent edit to Ghulam Ali appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 07:38, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
