I noticed that American female novelists were being dragged out of the main category “American Novelists” and plopped into the subcategory “American Women Novelists.” I looked back in the “history” of these women’s pages, and saw they used to appear in the main category “American Novelists,” but they had recently been switched to the smaller female subcategory. Male novelists were allowed to remain in the main category, no matter how obscure they were.
In the last few days, some Wiki editors worked on fixing the problem, bringing women back into the main “American Novelists” category. But then other editors would come along and take them back out.
