text: I have created :Category:Technology writers, and someone else already started :Category:Science writers.  I think the distinction between the two is clear; I have sorted your list above (thanks!!!) and several more I saw/thought of into these categories. --ssd 05:43, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Shouldn't the page Scientific journalist also be merged with :Category:Science writers, or do we reserve that page for those scientific journalist that haven't published a book yet? Peak Freak 11:23, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: On reading the category description, I think there is probably a difference. When I created technology writer, I was finding scientists that just happened to have written books. I suspect scientific journalists are journalists that have bothered to learn enough science to write about it. There is a very big difference in credibility and level of writing there. Having said that, the two categories are close enough that I'm sure a few are in the wrong one.  Both category descriptions probably need to be expanded if they are not merged. --ssd 01:18, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: There are too many articles in this category; time to subcategorize. -- Beland 14:09, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There are more than enough sub-categories already: the work is shifting articles into them.  So far I have cut the number of letters left to 15. --Henrygb 22:57, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There are now just 16 articles listed, though only 4 of them should be here.  Others should be moved to subcategories --Henrygb 14:02, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: Worthy to-do list moved from Category:authors
Add category tags to all authors so eventually the category system replaces the manually compiled lists as a more categorical system. Here are some subcategories to be made. Novelists, poets, playwrights and a few more can be broken down further by genre:
*academic writers
*biographers
*children's literature authors
*illustrators
*humorists
*journalists
*magazine writers
*military authors
*newspaper writers
*non-fiction authors
*novelists
*laywrights
*poets
*political authors
*religious authors
*science authors
*screenwriters
*self-help authors
*short story authors
(I did not originate the above; I found it in an HTML comment on Category:Writers. -- Beland 00:29, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: note that many of these subcategories exist, though often as writers rather than authors. --Henrygb 08:38, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  To Do 

message: Currently this category includes users who include  on their user pages. Shouldn't these be separated into a separate category to avoid self-reference, and to separate the encyclopedic content? KramarDanIkabu 03:55, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
