replies: text: Have begun this task by creating 10 main subcategories and sorting various articles into them (see below). It still needs a lot of work, to go through the remaining articles and move them into the appropriate category, as well as coming up with some more logical subcategories. Some suggestions have been made below and also on Talk:Sociology. I have also created :Category:Articles not related to sociology to help clear them out of here if they don't belong. See here for discussion of tasks on WikiProject Sociology. JenLouise 02:54, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup request

message: Is it usual for sub catgeories to be spread across different pages by the letters of listed articles below rather than being in their own list? It makes it very hard to understand what subcategories there are. Also is there any way of putting an alphabet listing the pages so you can jump to articles starting with S or something? JenLouise 00:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want all subcategories to be forced to be on the first page on Cat:Sociology, you need to edit them to the following form:  . Similarly if you want an article on, let's say, structural functionalism, to be listed not at s but at f in a given category, you would edit it to say F. As for alphabet listing of cats, I think you mean something like ? I am not sure if this can be done, perhaps you should ask at Wikipedia:Categories.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 04:20, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Are people likely to have problems with me moving all the subcategories to the first page? To me it just makes much more sense to be able to see all of the subcategories immediately. Especially once our subcategories are systematic. JenLouise 01:52, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't disagree with that.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 15:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

text: * I have moved some sociology sub categories to the top of the list. These are generic subcategories, such as Branches of sociology or Sociology books. I think non-generic ones are fine in alphabetical order. I have used   01,   02 etc to order them. JenLouise 05:02, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sub categories 

message: :Sounds good, let's start cleaning this up. However I am not happy with the 'Sociological Organisation' name (aren't all organizations sociological?). Perhaps 'Organizations of sociologists' or 'Sociological associations' or 'Sociological research organizations' would be better...--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 04:23, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes Associations was the word I was looking for. I have changed it above. And perhaps it should be Sociological Associations and Journals, considering the only article on a journal, is the journal of an association listed. And sociology journals are usually put out by sociology associations. JenLouise 05:38, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually we alread have :Category:Sociology journals and there are quite a few publications (many more not yet even stubbed on Wiki).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 15:23, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Discussion of proposed changes

message: I would like to go ahead and create the proposed categories above (shown in red). What do people think? JenLouise 04:37, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I will begin doing so and if anyone objects we can make changes. JenLouise 23:11, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Category:Sociological organisations seems like a good name. We can sub-categorise institutions, associations, etc as necessary. -- zzuuzz (talk) 00:11, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Done ! JenLouise 06:37, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Biosocial Theory

message: This matter has been raised on the Sociology project page.  Having briefly read previous discussions above, I suppose one could create new subcategories for :Category:Methods in sociology to complement the existing :Category:Sociological_theories.  There might also be a subcategory :Category:Applied sociology, for something more specific than 'Sociology topics'.  This subcategory could itself be subcategorized.  Along with other existing subcategories, this might serve to weed out articles a bit more.  Open to further discussion.  Meclee (talk) 04:29, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Tentatively support, with the exception of sociology in action, which seems simply a different name for applied sociology. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 18:19, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Category:Methods in sociology should really replace :Category:Social sciences methodology directly in :Category:Sociology Brad7777 (talk) 16:49, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

text: Im not sure on the difference between the two, all terms represent concepts as far as i am aware Brad7777 (talk) 16:49, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

text: Created :Category:Methods in sociology and :Category:Applied sociology.  Proposed mapping of 1st level subcategories can be found here: User:Meclee/proj4-sandbox Meclee (talk) 20:14, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  New discussion on subcategories - Feb 2012 

message: A diffusion of the Sociology category has been completed.  In addition to listing several interdisciplinary categories (e.g., :Category:Aging, :Category:Race) as subcategories, as well as sociology-related categories not previously listed as subcategories (e.g., :Category:Socialization), several new 1st level categories have been created, including:
*:Category:Deviance and social control
*:Category:Methods in sociology
*:Category:Social problems
*:Category:Social status
*:Category:Urbanization
In addition, several existing and new categories were added to various 1st level subcategories.  To facilitate browsing of subcategories, the page Sociology category tree was created.  This uses a MW tag, so should be self-updating.  Any disputed category may be discussed in accordance with WP:CFD.  Meclee (talk) 15:32, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
