by county[edit]

what is the purpose of dividing up these companies by county? Wouldn't it be better to divide them up by industry? Hmains 06:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

there are categories for industry. They are divided uip by county because there are so many of them. --evrik ^(talk) 19:30, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hierarchy[edit]

Companies should be not under econmony. IMHO, they are more relevant than to be buried like that. --evrik ^(talk) 22:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I still believe this to be true. --evrik ^(talk) 04:03, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Still no given reason or policy why some users keep moving this category down in the hierarchy. --evrik ^(talk) 16:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
your arguments lack any validity whatsoever; the category structure always buries things according to some point of view or another--that is the way things are. The makes economic sense: private for-profit companies are given their due as part of the economy--which is what they are. Hmains (talk) 05:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to me that you are citing preference and not any policy or standard. --evrik ^(talk) 20:51, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
