::It has taken a huge amount of work to undo TAR's damage.  I suppose that you think that there is a bias against any change he had made, and there is probably some truth to that.  He did not understand that our categories have a tree structure.  Instead, he thought of categories as a word association test.  Putting in excess categories and excessive red links makes Conservapedia less appealing to users and lowers our google search engine rankings.  In theory, every article could be in every category, because there is some plausible connection between any two subjects.  If we had a separate article on "Drug Addiction" then it could have categories like [[:Category:Illegal Drugs]] or [[:Category:Drugs]].  The problem is that [[:Category:Illegal Drugs]] is a subcategory of [[:Category:Drugs]] ''breaking up the category tree with an infinite loop.'' Here the Addiction article is on a much higher level that discusses video games, etc. So, it is not useful to a high school student looking for information about illegal drugs, in my opinion.
