Clearly you solved the sub-category problem. Thanks for all your work reclassifying the banks.

Thanks for adding the categorization to the bank pages I have created. How does one create sub-categories, such as "Central banks", or "Defunct banks"? That is, what is the syntax? The wikipedia:categorization page is philosophical rather than practical.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
- Read the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
Not so fast
Category:Computer Companies of the United States should be Category:Computer companies of the United States. I'll go ahead and fix it, just don't add any other entries to the category... :) - Fredrik (talk) 01:02, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
American vs US
Just so you know, the adjective American refers to the continent in most places, except Canada and the US. Thus I am changing Category:American banks to Category:Banks of the United States. I am a Canadian, so this kind of caught me off guard too. Burgundavia 10:09, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)
Nice work on all the sub cats of the US. Burgundavia 00:12, Jun 19, 2004 (UTC)
Baseball players
Just a heads-up regarding the additions you made to the list; you removed your own addition of the ghost link for Paul Dean (thanks) but I had to delete Dixie Dean (wrong sport; not Dizzy) and Preacher Roe. Roe's article was just the copyvio notice remaining after the article was removed, so if you add any more, try to verify the articles before you add them. MisfitToys 04:44, Jul 24, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for putting the chapters in a table. Good work!!! Yardcock 21:33, Jul 25, 2004 (UTC)
True or false??
True or false: Wikipedia will likely be perfect sometime between now and 2010. (A perfect Wikipedia would contain all articles that have previously been requested with no vandalism. I remove articles from the requests section when they become live links; in contrast, you add more links.) 66.245.97.168 00:15, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
In case you should check back here: 1. I generally remove live links, however in this case restored one that had a copyvio notice and needs to have the article replaced. 2. I generally add new links to articles that need to be written, and the Waltrip article needs to be rewritten because of the copyvio issues. Yeesh. --DMG413 00:25, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Schnauzer entry on list of dog breeds
I put back the schnauzer entry because we're attempting to accumulate a reasonable breed list based on what people will look under. Since most kennel clubs call the standard-sized dog simply Schnauzer, it's not unreasonable that they'll look under that name in the list. This follows the same model we used for, for example, Collie, Cur, Foxhound, and Fox Terrier on the same page. If you haven't already, you might also check out the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dog_breeds, which has some info on the main page and various discussions on its talk page, and also the talk page for the list of dog breeds as well. Thanks. Elf | Talk 03:50, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Exhibition game
Why should we have two articles about the same thing? A friendly match is the same thing as an exhibition game, it's just a difference between American and British English. As the british useage had an aricle first, it gets to be the location of the article. Gentgeen 20:59, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Thanks!
Last summer I somehow took over the "List of rivers in Tennessee project" by default, as someone started it and then seemingly abandonned it. It's been one of my two main Wikipedia "things", the other being the "List of governors of Tennessee". I really appreciate your fixing my lame spelling of "Boundary". I guess I've been influence by the popular Nashville watering hole "The Bound'ry" Any way, thanks again.
