My own pet peeve along these lines is articles with no

stub it is and not add the actual categories at the same time? Seems
like such a trivial extra step, we could even have a bot doing the work.
IMHO it is a mistake to criticise people for not doing work. We can
criticise them when they do harm. But doing 10 minutes of work, and
not the other 2 minutes...well, that's perfectly valid in the wiki
world, imho.
In any case, I frequently create stubs in areas I know nothing about,
and simply don't know what the best categories are. So I might end up
using something really generic like "Sports" or "People" or something
and letting someone else refine it.
