== Consistent Spelling ==

I have made an effort to change all instances of the word "categorisation" or the like to "categorization". I figure that since the name of the article spells it the American way, then it should be consistent throughout the entire article. I don't mind British English, but I prefer the spellings to be the same throughout the article, and I think that if it is inconsistent, it could possibly be distracting to readers. --[[User:Sbrools|'''Sbrools''']] ^{([[User_talk:Sbrools|'''<fontspan colorstyle="color:red;">talk</fontspan>''']] .

== New ==

This FAQ doesn't seem to explain how you create a new category. How do you do so? Thanks.

== Need a subcategory in this main category: "[[:Category:Submarines of the United States]]" ==

Hello editors! Analyzing this main category, '''"[[:Category:Submarines of the United States]]"''', I saw that is missing an important subcategory: '''"[[:Category:Interwar submarines of the United States]]"'''. So is my tip for this new inclusion of a new subcategory. Good editions!

== Portrait painters / artists ==

Line 167:

* [[:Category:Portrait artists]]

I found this out when I began to work on subcategories, by nationality, of the portrait painters category - and then started a conversation at [[Category talk:Portrait painters]]. Should the 2 categories be merged... meaning only have one main category: Portrait artist or Portrait painter, with subcategories by nationality under the main category? Thanks!--[[User:CaroleHenson|<span style='text-shadow:0 -1px #DDD,1px 0 #DDD,0 1px #DDD,-1px 0 #DDD;'><fontspan colorstyle=' "color:#4997D0';">'''''CaroleHenson'''''</fontspan></span>]] ([[User talk:CaroleHenson#top|<fontspan colorstyle=' "color:#4997D0';">talk</fontspan>]]) 18:33, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
