CZ Talk:Managing Editor/2010/001 - Editors of their own user pages and subpages thereof
Category listings
This comment was moved here from the "Decision" section of the main page, where it had been placed originally.
Regarding "Are Citizens allowed to modify the categories in which pages in the user space of others are listed? " and the statement above,
- They are acting as a Constable on that user page.
As a Constable, I have recently discovered that another Constable has gone to my User Page and removed my listing as a Constable and someone has removed my name from the Constabulary list (http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Category:CZ_Constables). The history of that list makes no note of any changes past September 2007. My standing as a Constable is well documented and there are other names that have come and gone - yet the history does not record their presence or service. So, while we are having this discussion, is someone is acting unilaterally and revising history? This is very ominous. If we can not act in a transparent way and adhere to our own rules, we have a significant problem. Thomas Simmons 22:23, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- As long as there is no dispute over whether you still are a Constable (I haven't seen any), then removal of this category is the correct way to signal this change in status, and it has been applied analogously to others in the past. The edit history at Category pages only shows edits made directly to those category pages, not additions or removals of other pages to that category, which are only accessible via the page histories of those other pages. --Daniel Mietchen 14:37, 2 May 2011 (CDT)
