Telling somebody after destroying their work is kinda besides the point. That’s what’s not polite, IMHO, but who’s keeping count? ;-)

I do understand that vandalism and other edits that destroy or deface have to be removed right away and without discussion. However, I don’t think anybody could argue that those new categories were anythuing close to that.

In cases other than vandalism, wikis are usually collaborative efforts were discussion comes first and deletions come — if a majority of interested editors agrees — later and usually as a last resort.

You may find the category structure I created not useful, fine. However, how are you and others hurt by it? I’m not asking you to maintain it or do anything with it. What’s the harm, really? Again, categories are listed way on the bottom of the page, in their own little, easily overlooked box.
