Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Keith Mitchell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Democratic Congress. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I am not disputing that he was not a monarchist, just that the category is not justified by the article. please amend the article. Roundtheworld (talk) 22:21, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Categories people representative of their political point of view, without expressly mentioning said politics in the bulk of the text is standard practice and the case for hundreds of articles. Cate Blanchett and Peter Hollingworth are categorised as Australian republicans, despite it not being included anywhere in the text body, because it is known they have stated their support for a republic. Likewise, Boris Johnson, Peter Bottomley, David Cameron and many others are categorised as British monarchists, despite it not being mentioned anywhere in the text body on the page, because it is a known fact externally that they support the monarchy. Removing clearly sourced categories from pages simply because they are not directly mentioned in the text body is not in line with hundreds of other pages.

  Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to List of titles and honours of Elizabeth II. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 18:33, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

It was not a case of original research, simply a case of an accidentally wrong link. Lord Dim 1 (talk) 10:16, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Verifiability of categories

edit

I reverted your re-addition of a category at Johnson Beharry. There is a burden of verifiability even for categories and especially so for biographies of living people. – macaddct1984 (talk | contribs) 17:23, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Beharry’s support for the monarchy is very verifiable. During the 2019 royal tour of Grenada he spoke of the importance of the royal family and how thrilled he was to receive them in Grenada, and how important they are to foster unity in the Commonwealth. He has strongly defended the royal family against racism allegations.
There is a well established practice of including categories on pages of living persons outlining their political views, even if those views are not directly mentioned in the article itself. Cate Blanchett and Peter Hollingworth are categorised as Australian republicans, despite it not being included anywhere in the text body, because it is known they have stated their support for a republic. Likewise, Boris Johnson, Peter Bottomley, David Cameron and many others are categorised as British monarchists, despite it not being mentioned anywhere in the text body on the page, because it is a known fact externally that they support the monarchy. This is the case for hundreds of pages, and removing the category from Johnson Beharry’s page would be entirely out of line with the practice on hundreds of other pages.
