Re Pat Robertson

See WP:No original research. Unless a source says someone is something, we don't extrapolate. If a source does not discuss a person as being notable for being one thing or another, we do not put them in that category, even if they incidentally belong to that category but are not notable for it. Also, many of the categories you've been adding have been redundant. "American Christians" is unnecessary because of the categories, "American Christian ministers" "American Christian religious leaders," "American Christian writers," "American Christian Zionists," and "American Television Evangelists."

Your recent editing history at Pat Robertson shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:06, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
