SATS - Thanks for that. Some good stuff there. I haven't time right now but it might be best that it be moved to the "Document" namespace sometime; if only because that will give it the status of a reproduced external document that should not be edited. As it is it is part of your personal information. It also needs categorising and some links to other pages (already existing or not) so that it does not sink into obscurity as an unfindable orphan. I'll get around to it and any comments welcome. --[[User:Peter|Peter P]] 13:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC) | SATS - Thanks for that. Some good stuff there.

SATS - Thanks for that. Some good stuff there. I haven't time right now but it might be best that it be moved to the "Document" namespace sometime; if only because that will give it the status of a reproduced external document that should not be edited. As it is it is part of your personal information. It also needs categorising and some links to other pages (already existing or not) so that it does not sink into obscurity as an unfindable orphan. I'll get around to it and any comments welcome. --Peter P 13:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

- The Category Tree is a work in progress and far from ideal. Categories are not assigned automatically. You have to enter them manually; best place is at the end of an article but they can be put anywhere. Edit any document to see how then select cancel. The "Document" namespace is reserved for external essays/articles etc that do not fit the regular encyclopedia format. They are always credited and linked to the author. To put an item in the document namespace, simply precede its title with "Document:" I'll move yours shortly and you can have a look see what I've done.
