Categories

I do believe that I have been the primary creator and builder of most of the categories, sub-categories, and sub-sub-categories, under the two main category groupings of Category:Jews and Judaism and Category:Israel and Zionism and at the present time (May 2005) I monitor the close to four thousand articles in those two main categories as best I can.
