Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Kieem trra, good luck, and have fun. PamD 17:11, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Categories

Please do not add "parent" categories. Charles Reid (general) is already in the category Category:1819 births, so he does not need Category:19th-century births. Similarly, for example, if someone is in Category:French classical guitarists, they don't go in Category:French guitarists or Category:Classical guitarists or Category:French musicians or Category:Guitarists, though they might go in Category:21st-century guitarists. There are a few exceptions called "non-diffusing categories", so that person might also go in Category:21st-century women guitarists, but if you look at the category page it will tell you if it is one of these exceptions.

He also wasn't a civil servant, but a soldier - I'll add a few more categories eventually.

Thanks for your contributions. There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it's an interesting journey.

If you've added "parent" birth/death categories to other articles, please go back to them now and remove the unwanted categories. Thanks.Pam D 17:23, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
