Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Thaddeus Wasielewski, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.

It is not merely my opinion, it is an editing guideline. Please see WP:SUBCAT. As for your examle of Category:Politicians and Category:People from Wisconsin, people listed in those categories should be further subcategoized into categories such as Category:Greek politicians and Category:Wisconsin Democrats. If you have issues with the existence of a category such as Category:American Roman Catholic politicians, I would suggest bringing it up at WP:CFD. But double-categorization is not the answer.

Thank you for helping me understand this policy. I will follow it in the future. Remclaecsec (talk) 02:29, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Cole at List of Freemasons

Since the source is a book, what does the book actually say about his Masonic affiliation? MSJapan (talk) 19:08, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

RE: Cole at List of Freemasons

I copied and pasted an incorrect reference from his wikipedia article; I corrected it in the list, with a new reference that includes a website. In answer to your question, all it says is that he was a member of the freemasons, there is no lodge info et c. I hope that is helpful. Remclaecsec (talk) 19:16, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Martin O'Malley

Remind me on how was I being silly for reverting your edit. Obviously, although it's true that he's indeed Catholic, that has to be verified with source. Prior to your edit, there was no content in the article that could justify the cat which is why I had to delete it. Also, I would recommend a source where O'Malley "explicitly" identify as Catholic as per WP:BLPCAT. You know, the one where he says "I am/was raised Catholic" would suffice. The source you gave does not even provide that. I hope you would be reasonable enough to not engage in an edit war. Thanks. Bluesphere 08:42, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

RE: Martin O'Malley

Thank you for your ostensibly constructive criticism. The rule you mentioned says this: "categories regarding religious beliefs (or lack of such) or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief or orientation in question, and the subject's beliefs or sexual orientation are relevant to their public life or notability, according to reliable published sources." The article I cited from the WASHINGTON POST, a verified source, explains the relevance of O'Malley's Catholicism to his self-identity and his public life. It is precisely what the guidelines are asking for.

Incidentally, I don't know what an "edit war" is, it sounds ridiculous; but I do know that I don't like petty threats. Let's instead work together to make this a reliable--and comprehensive--encyclopedic source. Including a major part of a politician's personal and public identity is a part of that project.Remclaecsec (talk) 16:33, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
