John, can you elaborate on your concern here? You're apparently unhappy about my updating three articles with the category "Terrorist incidents in the United States in [year xxxx]".
Now, I'm not sure that there's a need for a special category "Terrorist incidents in the United States in [year xxxx]" but others have created and populated that category, so I thought I'd at least do my bit to ensure that it's not woefully incomplete. In any case, you don't seem to be objecting to the existence of that category, just to my adding these three articles to that category.
Let's take Knoxville Unitarian Universalist church shooting. Given that there IS a category called "Terrorist incidents in the United States in 2008", how on earth could you object to including that article in the category? I assume you don't object to the "in the United States" part, nor to the "in 2008" part ... so your objection must be to the "terrorist incidents" part. But the article is already included in the category "Terrorist attacks on places of worship". It's also included on the page Terrorism in the United States and other Wikipedia pages dealing with terrorism in the US.
Are you really bothered by this category? Thanks, Brian Andross (talk) 16:52, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
