Hello. Thanks for your interest in editing out articles. You need to read the guidelines for adding categories at [[WP:CAT]]. In particular note this section [[Wikipedia:Categorization#Articles]] where it states ''A central concept used in categorising articles is that of the '''[[WP:DEFINING|defining]]''' characteristics of a subject of the article. A defining characteristic is one that [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] ''commonly'' and ''consistently'' define<ref>in prose, as opposed to a tabular or list form</ref> the subject as having—such as nationality or notable profession''. In other words "Yes" Fionnnula Flanagan was in a western but "No" it is not a defining part of her career. The category is correct for someone like Henry Darrow but it "is not" for most of the actors articles that you are adding it to. So please be more careful in your editing.

:BTW you have not created the category properly. Thus you have a red cat link in all the articles that you have added it to and those can be removed by any editors that see them. If you have a question about how to create the category properly you can ask at the [[WP:TEAHOUSE]]. [[User:MarnetteD|MarnetteD]]|[[User talk:MarnetteD|Talk]] 17:01, 16 June 2014 (UTC) |

Hello. Thanks for your interest in editing out articles. You need to read the guidelines for adding categories at WP:CAT. In particular note this section Wikipedia:Categorization#Articles where it states A central concept used in categorising articles is that of the defining characteristics of a subject of the article. A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define[1] the subject as having—such as nationality or notable profession. In other words "Yes" Fionnnula Flanagan was in a western but "No" it is not a defining part of her career. The category is correct for someone like Henry Darrow but it "is not" for most of the actors articles that you are adding it to. So please be more careful in your editing.
