Removing slavery related links
Hello, Could you please justify removing all the links relating to slavery. Thanks Robjwev (talk) 02:35, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, are you aware of the fact that those articles were overcategorized? It is hard to answer your question without specifics, but I will try. If an article is placed in a category which is a subcategory to a parentcategory, it is an overcategorization to place it in both the subcategory and the parent category. For example: If an article is placed in the category African slave traders, it should not be placed in the category Slavery in Africa as well, since the entire category African slave traders is a subcategory of the parentcategory Slavery in Africa, and thus all the articles in the African slave traders are in fact already automatically placed in the Slavery in Africa category.
 * There was also a big overcategorization going on by placing all articles having to do with slavery in the United states in the category african slave trade, when the only articles that should be placed in that category, should have directly to do with that; not indirectly. This is the same rule as with any subject. Only subjects directly related to the African slave trade should be categorized in it, the slavery in the united states is indirectly related. You could however, of course, link the entire 'Category Slavery in the United States' with African slave trade if you wish, but to link it directly in the Africah slave trade-category would only overpopulate it.
 * There were a lot of issues having to do with the overcategorization problems, with a lot of articles placed in categories meaning about the same thing. I recomend that you learn how the categorization rules work, and the problem with overcategorization of articles here in Wikipedia.
 * If you look at my contributions, I have in fact also created a lot of categories relating to slavery, in an effort to combat overpopulation of categories and make it easier for the reader to find information. So please consider the categorization issues, since this is a big problem in Wikipedia in a number of subjects. Thanks --Aciram (talk) 03:02, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
