Categorization
Hello Casey, and thanks for your help with categorization. I've noticed that on some articles, such as Kay Kinsman, Chris Flanagan, Sally Brock, Mohamed Fourati, etc. you've only added years of birth and death as categories, but removed the tag.

Could you please leave the uncategorized tag in place, so that other editors who categorize articles can add further categories? Or could you at least replace it with an tag? Most readers browsing categories will be browsing by profession, nationality, or some other category about the subject, rather than by date of birth or death.

I see you're using Hotcat, and that will make it easier for you to search for relevant categories, such as "Tunisian surgeons" and "Cardiac surgeons" for Mohamed Fourati. You might also find the dropdown menu on Hotcat helpful for browsing parent categories and subcategories.

One last thing: as outlined at WP:NAMESORT, along with the categories on a biographical article, it's important to add sort keys so that the articles are in categories by surname, e.g. for Sally Brock. Thanks again, The Mighty Glen (talk) 09:19, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
