categories[edit]

Plese leave Category:Canadian rowers in, because it is a direct sub-cat of the Category:Rowers which is the main gateway for all world-class rowers.

Otherwise Category:Rowers leads to all the other top rowers but not to the Canadians. Perhaps we can get rid of the Olympic sub-sub-category which seems an extra unnecessary layer if you feel there are too many cats here. Jameswilson 23:25, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really care - but if you want to do, do it consistently: add the "Canadian rowers" category to all the rowers in the olympic sub-cat and the propose the sub-cat for deletion. The present situatino with partially duplicate entries is suboptimal in my opinion (and probably not conforming to the Manual of Style either). -- Marcika 13:30, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
