Hi ASA,

I have made sub-category changes (not main categories) on, that have concerned at least two known admins. The changes I've made have been rapid and bold. If you may, please take time to review the claims made against me:


 * 1) The categories I've added don't make sense
 * 2) My categories don't fit with the formatting rules
 * 3) I'm replacing categories that "streamlined organization" - prior to my edits
 * 4) I'm categorizing categories
 * 5) I'm miscategorizing articles
 * 6) Editing other people's articles is a violation

If I'm guilty of these charges, please revoke my admin privledges. Else, please consider the following:

Two main Issues that are sore to other admins -

Election articles (category:elections)

Prior to my edits, the United States election articles predominated category:elections, category:politics, and category:United States of America (and two clone USA categories). This left hardly any chance to easily view other world Elections, such as UK, Australia, Philippines, Russia, etc...

My creating new country elections, like category:US elections, now easily allows visibility of other country elections. But I further broke down the categories, which has led to the charge against me that "my categories don't make sense". I broke the categories down by year, such as category:US Elections 2020 (which by the way, this category in particular existed before I came to Future).

Categories by years (category:years)

Prior to my edits, outdated articles had to be categorized as category:Outdated Articles.

My creating categories by years, like category:Geopolitics 2019, will now allow you to archive the category (example: category:2016) rather than appending category:Outdated Articles to each and every 2019 article, when 2019 passes - the way Future admins were "streamlining" before.

Please consider my case. Your feedback is much appreciated. I enjoy working on. I have also read Futurology: Basics, and I do not see where my edits "don't fit with formatting rules". Please advise me.
