One-Category-Rule

We started this wiki with the idea that some articles should be added to several categories. But some articles (e.g. Josef Mengele or Area 51) would fit into so many categories, that the site quickly looked surcharged (Mengele in the following categories: Nazism & Occultism / Murderers & Screwed-Up People in General / Science & Diseases; Area 51 in: Conspiracies / UFOs and Extraterrestrial Life / Locations).

Since this rule was not very user-friendly, we think it's easier to choose the most appropriate category and put your article in it.

Example: Josef Mengele is a known scientist and a known murderer, but only because of his rise under the Nazi regime. Thus the most appropriate category is "Nazism & Nazi Occultism".

Example 2: Area 51 could actually be put in either one of the aforementioned categories, but Conspiracies or UFOs are probably the best (locations is for more random stuff). Your choice in such cases...

If you're in doubt, put your article in the category you think is the most appropriate one. If your choice sucks, someone's going to correct if for you anyway ;). If you really have NO idea, "Paranormal in General & Unexplained Pictures" is probably your friend.

Please note that there are still some articles placed in two categories. It is highly appreciated if you correct such mistakes.

Thank you.
