Hoi, The category system is as far as I am concerned of little interest. It is as far as I am concerned not helpful for Selecting one from a bunch. It is a sick dog and it is in misery. Thanks, GerardM
Maybe you have stopped using wikipedia as a reader altogether? I and many happy readers find great use for gategories. I read wikipedia pages on the average three pages a day, and I would say one in five of those page reads, I have to take recourse in the category system. The fact that I get about a 50% usefulnes rate out of the categories, doesn't mean that half the time they are useful for me.
Just because you think something about something, please, give a bit of a thought that you are not the supreme arbiter of what everybody should think. I do not object your stating your personal opinion. But it is just your personal opinion. Do you have references to any pages or other sources that support there is *any* significant portion of wikipedians or wikipedia readers who feel even close to the way you feel?
Or are you just a voice crying out in the wilderness?
