Stop adding unsourced content. There must be sourced content in the article to back up the category. -- Valjean ( talk) ( PING me) 17:18, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed a recent edit you made does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.
The edit summary field looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! GA-RT-22 ( talk) 19:24, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello.
Please see WP:DIFFUSE. With some exceptions, we generally don't include people in both a category and it's subcategories, as this would be redundant.
For example, Ethan Nordean is included in Category:People criminally charged for acts during the January 6 United States Capitol attack. This is a subcategory of Category:Protesters in or near the January 6 United States Capitol attack. By default, everyone in the 'People criminally charged...' category is already in the 'Protestors in or near...' category, so adding him to this category a second time will only make these categories harder to navigate, and will not tell readers any new information. Does that make sense?
Both of these categories also explain this.
