Adding categories
Hi there. When adding categories to an article, it generally is not necessary to add both a parent and child category. It is also best to add the most specific category. So, if "Kentucky pioneers" is added, "American pioneers" should be removed. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:08, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Magnolia677 I understand; thank you for clarifying. I will go back and edit those respectively. --Cjslade917 (talk) 12:09, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
