RAF categories
Hi! I reverted your revert of my revert of some other user's addition of "anti-Americanism" and "left-wing antisemitism" categories to the RAF article, and am reaching out to you here in hopes of avoiding a really dumb, really low-stakes edit war.

In | the edit summary you suggested that I could find examples of these in the article -- I'm going to assume that this was a good-faith suggestion, and will note that "X is referenced in the article" does not mean "The category for X should be added to the article"; details of the categorization policy can be found here: Categorization. I hope any fair-minded reader would agree that "left-wing antisemitism" and "anti-americanism" are not "defining characteristics" of the group itself (though at least one ex-member has definitely made antisemitism a defining characteristic of his own in recent years).

If you disagree, and earnestly believe that readers looking for articles about subjects whose defining characteristic is Anti-Americanism or Left-Wing Antisemitism would be well-served by being directed to the RAF article, don't you think they should expect to find a well-sourced explanation of how the group exemplified these attitudes?

In the absence of such, the addition of the categories looks more like a low-effort way to pad out the number of articles on a politically-charged category (though in the case of "anti-Americanism", it's honestly just baffling; they were obviously against our militarism and especially our war against the Vietnamese people, but being broadly "anti-American"???)

Anyway, hope that makes sense. Thanks for your time 2600:1702:6D1:28B0:F1D0:14CA:7AA6:AE72 (talk) 01:50, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
