Hi Yamakiri It is my understanding that in searching for information in Wikipedia it is possible, and desirable, to use both categories and lists. In setting up these lists I am following the example of some great Wikipedians and some great Wikipedian work. I suggest you look at page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_basic_geography_topics - which is what I intend to do for sustainability. It is extremely useful in locating individual entries. Could you please give me a good reason why I should not follow this example in Geography. Granitethighs (talk) 23:53, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
I have already been told about signing pages and stopped doing that as soon as I was asked. Have you looked at the Geography page I mention above - I do not at present think you have presented sufficient reason for deletion - a single page will soon be too cumbersome.I would appreciate a more considered response.Granitethighs (talk) 00:01, 6 July 2008 (UTC) I will not bother you again, but I am not convinced. The pages I set up were "under development" - yes I should have used a template but the message was clear. Each page would, very soon, have contained much more material than is currently there. I was setting the pages up so that I could add much more to each, and I repeat, the Geography example is precisely what I wished to do - it is extremely useful and a legitimate way of organising Wikipedia searching. I shall have to go to appeal - essentially on the grounds that I am following the recommended procedure used in the single example listed at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Lists_of_basic_topics. On this page the geography article is cited as exemplary - in other words all I was doing was following recommended Wikipedia procedure. I ask you to read the suggested approach to formulating basic lists and reconsider. By the way a lot of work went into these lists and I would like to know where you have put the combined list Granitethighs (talk) 00:22, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
