Categories

Hi User:Kj cheetham, I've added additional categories to this page that was flagged as needing more categories. I've added 21st-century physicists, Massachusetts Institute of Technology faculty, MIT Center for Theoretical Physics faculty, Theoretical physicists, and University of Adelaide alumni. Living people and Australian physicists were already there. Do these look sufficient? Are there any others I should add? Thank you!

Hi Elinruby, I saw you added some categories on this article--thanks for getting it into more categories! I know it needed more. The "Particle Physicists" one is definitely good, and "Dark Matter" seems OK since I see there are a few other people whose work is relevant to the study of dark matter included in the pages in that category. However, I think some of the others might not work as well... The "Hadrons" category, for instance, contains pages about types of hadrons and hadron properties, not people. Similarly, the "Gluons" category contains pages related to gluon properties and experiments, not people. And the same thing with "Quantum Chromodynamics"--the category contains pages for concepts relevant to QCD, not people. Would you mind if I removed the Hadrons, Gluons, and Quantum Chromodynamics categories? While Shanahan has studied hadrons, gluons, and quantum chromodynamics, it seems those categories don't contain any other people pages and someone interested in those subjects would probably not find Shanahan's page any more relevant than the pages of many other particle physicists. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neutrinos on the Prairie (talk • contribs) 15:42, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
