-There's another problem: "John Aylesbury" (DE), "Mauro Cateni" (IT), "Peter Rasmussen" (DK) and others more are not real persons but fictional names. In these cases I'd lean forward to sort "Mauro Cateni" (e.g.) under M. -- Now, as far as I can see, we haven't applied a standard consequently yet. That's making it difficult. For sure, doing it from now on would make it necassary to re-name numerous pages and alter x internal links. I'm aware of that, but have no clue at the moment. [[User:TseHa|TseHa]]

-:Bill, wow, the categories look extremely promising, thanks! TseHa, good points! I have long thought we should have some sort of pipe maker article naming convention that can accommodate the main variables. Most of the articles are Firstname Lastname. Perhaps we could also include other names that pipe maker is working under using redirects to the main article, with those also categorized so they appear in the category lists. Would that work? I don't know what listing possibilities there are within the categories, but perhaps Bill can come up with the best solution for us. I am very glad to have all the help for you both, and just sorry I was not better organized from the start. Now we have a little work to clean up once we get this on the right track! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] 16:19, 30 March 2008 (EDT)

-:: I like the idea of redirects rather than re-naming the original articles; it seems tedious. I was planning on trying to categorize another 2 or 3 countries today (only in pipe-making - we can discuss other categories when I'm done) but considering our current discussion, should I hold off?

+s Baccalaureate speaker at the University of Pennsylvania was an unconventional choice for an Ivy League school. To address their newly-minted graduates, aspiring to dazzling careers, they picked a man who has never in his adult life, applied for a job. A man who hasnt worked for pay in nearly a decade, and whose self-stated mission is simply "to bring smiles to the world and stillness to my heart".
-::: Bill, I think you should feel free to go ahead with the category project. I can't think of a better way to organize this. We may have some work to do with redirects etc.., but unless I'm missing something I can't see that would effect the categories. Thanks so much for your help! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] 16:26, 31 March 2008 (EDT)

-A section for PIPE CLUBS would be nice
+== A Savior At the Grocery Store ==
-: Good point! The link section certainly needs more structure...
+Numbly, I left my husband, Marty, at the hospital where I had been visiting two of my children and headed for the grocery store. Since it was eleven p.m., I drove to the only store I knew was open twenty-four hours a day. I turned my car motor off and rested my head against the seat.
-:: Great Idea! I agree, perhaps even starting a different article for clubs. I would also like to start a separate article for tobacconists which specialize in pipes and pipe tobacco. My thinking is that both of these could and should be organized by location using categories. Dive in if you like, or I'll try to start something like this when I'm back from my trip (currently fly fishing in Stanley ID, and found a coffee shop with wireless--not bad for a town with a year round population of under 100 brave souls!). --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] 15:09, 11 July 2008 (CDT)

-I love the old pictures and art work about pipes. Also, famous or not so famous pipe smokers  photos. I would like to see a gallery.

-:You can see a gallery of images here [[Special:Newimages]], otherwise they are simply embedded in the articles. Images could also be categorized and eventually listed that way. What do you mean exactly? If you have an idea for how this would work, please feel free to give it a try. Thanks! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] 06:41, 10 December 2008 (CST)
+== The Business 9 Women Kept A Secret For Three Decades ==
-== спасибо за сайт (Thanks for The Site) ==
+Somewhere in West Tennessee, not far from Graceland, nine women -- or "The 9 Nanas," as they prefer to be called -- gather in the darkness of night. At 4am they begin their daily routine -- a ritual that no one, not even their husbands, knew about for 30 years. They have one mission and one mission only: to create happiness. And it all begins with baked goods.One of us starts sifting the flour and another washing the eggs,

+I realized quickly, after just having traveled to various villages in rural India, that distance is relative. Hailing from a city like San Francisco, going even a few hours outside of town is far but twelve hours outside of a major city? I half expected to run into another country.

+== An Incredible Graduation Gift from Dad ==

+Brenna Martins dad evidently doesnt like last-minute shopping. Bryan Martin a purchased a gift for his daughters high school graduation -- which happened earlier this month -- thirteen years ago. He managed to keep it hidden this whole time, and his "moving, touching, nostalgic, and thoughtful" present (her words) brought Brenna to tears when dad finally gave it to her last week.
