"Good order is the foundation of all good things."

wikipedia philosophies are sad get some life and stop debating about a free encyclopedia u nerds!

I, Eeee, hereby establish the Association of Categorist Wikipedians (ACW).

The ACW's founding belief is that an article without an attached category has less value than a correctly categorized article. The "index" system of Wikipedia is the structure that connects all of the articles to each other. By categorizing uncategorized articles, or refining their existing categories, we are helping to organize the mass of information that is Wikipedia. Categories lead to related pages and topics that without that attention, could be neglected. It is the job of the Categorist to assign a category to an article without one, or to put the article in a more relative one.

The ACW does not take a stand on the philosophy of the Inclusionists and the Deletionists, rather we feel that categorizing is a more prominent issue. Categorists want to help spin the connecting strings in the web of knowledge.

Goals

  • Make categorization a top prioirty of Wikipedia.
  • A goal of having 9% or less of all Wikipedian information uncategorized.
  • Coordinate with the Deletionists in using the speedy delete instead of the article being categorized.
  • Communicate with Mergists and Inclusionists who feel the article information should be retained and transferred instead of categorized.
  • Organize a basic project to categorize the uncategorized pages.
