Do keep in mind that (notwithstanding some editors' enthusiasm on the subject) we do not need to have a lot of complicated, multi-level categorization here, since it is a small project. So, for example, I might not have created [[:Category:Roza Eskenazi]], particularly if there were not three articles to go into it. Informally, I have been following the guideline of Simple English Wikipedia on this subject (see [[:simple:WP:Categories]]), and sometimes we don't even need to have categorization even as robust as that. I won't second-guess you, but just consider that here, sometimes less is more. [[Usador:StevenJ81|StevenJ81]] ([[Messaje de Usador:StevenJ81|discusión]]) • 2 Elul 5777 • 13:47 24 Ago 2017 (UTC)
 
:[[Usador:StevenJ81|StevenJ81]], thank you for the warm welcome. An explanation: Recently I initiated some organizational work on [[:zu:User:Deborahjay|a small WP]] (<1K articles) without an administrator and lacking active experienced editors, in [[:w:Zulu language|a language]] I don't know at all (!). Then in a collegial conversation, I was asked whether on my Wiki-break from HE WP I'd be working in "a Jewish language." YI WP is a non-contender for some objective reasons, so I thought to reconsider LAD WP. As myMy self-assessment of proficiency level is ES-2 (for writing; ES-3 for reading) and LAD-0, having no personal history with it. This took some "thinking-outside-the-Babel-box!" Being a professional proofreader and skilled typist, discriminating how LAD differs from ES is already helping me carryperform out editing commandsedits. TheRecent recent editingwork in the Zulu WP reveals how my WP wiki-toolkit equips me for useful activity, e.g. in Wikidata, DEFAULTSORT for alphabetization (as I know naming conventions in many languages), and the [[Especial:HojasEspesyales|Special pages]] (these latter I only discovered two days ago and how I do enjoy making those red links disappear!). All this suits me well: I rarely create pages or add content (other than cites with web links to digital media articles), I'm more of a polyglot journeyman. And as I'm recently retired, have no grandchildren and do only a little freelance translating, I have the time and need intellectual stimulation and a global sense of purpose! :-D
 
:Your comments regarding categories are well-taken as guidance. I do appreciate the value of consistency in the collaborative work of WP, so I'll undo the intermediate-level categorization I recently created and learn the existing structure. On the other hand, I'm up for creating categories mimicking existing ones, e.g. [[:Katēggoría:Mujeres de la Gresia]] based on [[:Katēggoría:Mujeres de la Turkiya]]. Further: when making interwiki connections via Wikidata - and this speaks to my background as a Holocaust museum archivist - I discriminate when there's a choice between supercategories, e.g. [[:w:Category:Turkish women]] and [[:w:Category:Women in Turkey]]. I'll be sure to consult with you on these matters for the good of LAD WP.
 
:And my further queries on new topics, I'll post <s>to ''your'' Talk page</s> at [[Vikipedya:La Kavané|La Kavané]] <small>''(redacted per later suggestion)''</small>. See you there!
