Categories edit

By policy (which you may read here), most categories are reserved for articles in the main article space. Articles that are in the user space (whose names begin with "User:") are not allowed to have those categories. No "user" article is allowed to have those categories. I refer to that policy when I remove those categories. See Wikipedia:User categories for policy on categories for user articles, and see Category:Wikipedians for categories that are appropriate for user pages.

Also, it is not appropriate to redirect your main talk page to another article; it makes it difficult for other editors to communicate with you.

I would also suggest you take a look at WP:NOT. Studerby (talk) 09:08, 23 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Also, you should read Wikipedia:UP, particularly Wikipedia:UP#NOT. Studerby (talk) 09:16, 23 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

More comments edit

  1. You need to learn to sign your comments on other user's talk pages; you do this by putting 4 tildes - "~~~~" - at the end of the comment.
  2. People insert policy violations into Wikipedia articles all the time; there is a constant flux of errors and corrections. I am only one of many editors who remove mainspace categories from userspace articles. That we have not fixed 100% of all errors in the Wikipedia at any particular time is not a very good argument to allow more errors.
  3. There are a great many policies and additional resources for editors; if you're here to edit the Wikipedia, I suggest you review them. I'll give you some starter links. If not, perhaps you should put your promotional material on another site, such as MySpace. Studerby (talk) 05:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
