regarding Paulinho da Costa edit
Not exactly. I removed categories "Jazz percussionists by genre" and "Percussionists" because the first should not contain any article (no one is a "Jazz percussionist by genre", right?) and the second is not so precise. He is Brazilian, and a percussionist, so...voilà! We have the "Brazilian percussionist" category. Also, he performs Brazilian jazz (talking about the music genre now) and Latin jazz music, which justifies the categories I added. If he plays general jazz music, then It's ok to add the category "Jazz percussionists" to the article. Categorising is a form of specifying the subject of the article as much as possible, in order to group it with other subjects that share similar characteristics. Hope you now understand my last edits on that article. Thank you, Victor Lopes (talk) 19:04, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
