Hi :) Although it's good to add categories like [[:Category:Worked on Sea of Souls]], it's much preferred that you actually add to the article body itself. Placing the category alone creates more of a mystery than anything. Readers will immediately wonder why that claim is being made with a category, but not in the body of the text. Please concentrate on adding material to the body ''before'' you add categories from the | Hi :) Although it's good to add categories like [[:Category:Worked on Sea of Souls]], it's much preferred that you actually add to the article body itself.

:For instance, you may have been the one to add the category "Actors who appeared in Z-Cars" to [[Julian Glover]]. But this is not nearly so important as noting that he played Walter Donovan in ''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'' or General Veers in ''The Empire Strikes Back''. In this case, the category is adding information less important than what the article itself contains. | :For instance, you may have been the one to add the category "Actors who appeared in Z-Cars" to [[Julian Glover]].

:That said, I do apologise that you were banned for an entire day. That wasn't my actual intent. I checked a couple of times whether you had responded, but you obviously responded a little later than when I checked. Because you had not responded to my earlier notes — and I'm sure I've left a note on another IP talk page related to you — it was really the only way to get your attention. It's imperfect, though, because I get no flags when you respond on your own page. | :That said, I do apologise that you were banned for an entire day. That wasn't my actual intent.
