Interconnection of Masonic Degrees and Masonic Rites[edit]

You have here a tautology. Rites confer degrees, so of course they are connected. However, that does not mean that they need a separate category. You really do have a bad habit of overcatting - the wholesale removals of the Freemasons by country categories were all categories you created. What you need to realize is that just because an article exists and can go in a cat doesn't mean it should. Categories need to be expandable, and hold enough material to be useful. Furthermore, you really don't understand what's what. Example: the Shrine Circus is not a Masonic organization, but an event, and CHIP programs are not organizations, but programs run by local lodges in the US and supported by Grand Lodges. The Royal Schools are also schools that just happen to be funded by Masonic charity. None of them are organizations like the Scottish Rite is. Frankly, all you need to do is ask before you do things, and most of the trouble would be alleviated. Looking through your archives, this is a persistent issue in many category areas.

Yes, many things you say are true. But what I do know is that these articles do not belang in the big mega headcategory of freemasonry. And one way or another they should be subcategorised. In which categories, is a matter of debate, but they should not be dealt with on a equal basis as very important articles. --Stijn Calle (talk) 16:13, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stijn, you say these article should be subcategorised... Why? Is there really a need to create all these sub-cats? Blueboar (talk) 16:35, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they should. Only the real important articles should be listed in the category 'freemasonry'. Fourth rate articles should be subcategorised. --Stijn Calle (talk) 16:38, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why? The main cat all that big. Blueboar (talk) 19:20, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
