[edit] geo-stubs

Hi Ryan - its a standard protocol. Cat:Devon geography stubs is a subcategory of Cat:United Kingdom geography stubs so anyone looking in that category can find things by place. if all the uk geo-stubs were also in the main category it would have about 5000 stubs in it, which would make it a waste of time for editors and a big strain on WPs servers. every county in england has a seperate category, and scotland, wales, n.i. and the crown dependencies have seperate categories too. same is true with the states of the usa and autralia, the provinces of canada, and a lot of the regions of france, germany and spain. after all, a place in devon might get devon-geo-stub, england-geo-stub, UK-geo-stub, UK-stub, euro-geo-stub and geo-stub if you carried it to its logical extreme.

double-stubbing is allowed but only if one of the two types isnt a subcategory of the other (like "Dunkirk" might get a france-geo-stub and a WWII-stub, for instance).

if youre interested in sorting stubs then were always looking for more people to help at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting, btw! BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 21:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Saw your reply, thanks for the clarification. Guess I didn't understand that it automatically cross-linked the stubs. I'm gonna go fix whatever I broke now :-) Ryan McDaniel 00:20, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concussion

So on the talk page for Concussion you say you rewrote the intro in order to avoid copyright violation? Well, it appears that you haven't. At least not the sort you were thinking of: [1]

These guys haven't attributed their definitions to Wikipedia, which I think is a violation of GFDL. Should something be done? --84.71.118.198 17:21, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
