Hi Americanbeauty. You don't edit a Category to add an article to it; adding the Category tag to the bottom of the article automatically adds that article to the category. Oh, and welcome! Any questions, ring me up.=. Herostratus 06:08, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

subcategories
You create the category. In the category page, you put in the parent category. That category is then a subcategory of the parent. Like, for instance, suppose there was a category Category:People from Boston and you wanted to create Category:People from South Boston as a sub. You would create the category just a you create an article (by typing Category:People from South Boston in the article name box, then when it says No such category, you create it and type Category:People from Boston as the only content of the page. The subcategory now exists, and you can add Category:People from South Boston to the bottom of any article. Also note that articles should not belong to both a parent category and any of its subcategories (an article should not in both People from Boston and People from South Boston, the parent category is assumed.)

OK, sorry. Why not do your text in Word or similar, and cut and paste into wikipedia? It's quicker, and easier to edit. jimfbleak 07:37, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Mulatto
Hi. The reason that I placed these pages up for deletion has nothing to do with the term, but rather with the fact that these pages simply cannot be managed. There are far too many biracial athletes/actors/actresses to keep up-to-date Wikipedia lists of them. As you can see by clicking this link, Mulatto has its own article within Wikipedia. There is, however, no page entitled List of Eurasian athletes as you suggested on my talk page. If, however, you feel that the articles should not be deleted, feel free to contribute to their deletion discussion by clicking here. --דניאל ~ Danielrocks123 talk contribs   Email 07:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm beginning to understand what you're saying, but there's a crucial difference between the pages you created and the categories that you mentioned about Eurasian actors, musicians, etc. What currently exists for Eurasians are categories. Any page can be added to a category by simply putting   at the bottom of the page. The problem with your list is that it is in article space rather than category space and each actor/actress/athlete has to be added individually to the page. Creating a category to serve your purpose might serve you better than creating a list. --דניאל ~ Danielrocks123 talk contribs   Email 08:12, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
