Article not appearing in categories
Can someone please explain why
- On the face of it there seems no obvious reason why it is not appearing. So it is possible that as a recently created article, the changes have not yet taken effect. I.e. a cache/purge type delay. Eagleash (talk) 14:31, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- @WP:PURGE and I think that is what got it showing up. Before that, I also removed a non-existent template from the page but I don't think that would have fixed the category issue. Dismas|(talk) 14:32, 10 April 2016 (UTC)]

Help with article on Jay Richard Bonin
Hi,
I composed and authorized Biography (with the help of the subject) of
"This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2016) This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions. (April 2016)"
I don't know how to get this message to go away. Also, the article is not an orphan as the article about Asa Hoffmann link to this one.
What to do?
Thank you. V Lopresto — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vlopresto (talk • contribs) 16:46, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
