Category:Companies based in Pennsylvania

You added Category:Companies based in Pennsylvania to Category:Restaurants in Pennsylvania. I'm not sure that is a good fit, because there are photos in the category of Category:Restaurants in Pennsylvania that are not really based in Pennsylvania like File:Quiznos Sub franchise Pittsburgh Craig 02.JPG, File:Howard Johnsons restaurant 1999 PA entrance.jpg. Not all restaurants in a state are going to be companies based in that state. --Mjrmtg (talk) 03:10, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

The same applies to adding to Category:Companies based in Oklahoma to Category:Gas stations in Oklahoma, not all gas stations in Oklahoma are companies based in Oklahoma. I'm sure Shell gas, Conoco gas, etc are not based in Oklahoma. --Mjrmtg (talk) 03:18, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes, you're right. Thanks for catching that! --Funandtrvl (talk) 17:22, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Indexing in subcategories

Hello. Thank you in advnce for stopping this sort of incorrect modifications - I've noticed its recurrence now across a vast range of similar categories. I think you want to know that subcategories that are in concern with the nature of the file rather than aspects or behavior of the topic itself (such as "xxx in art" or "Videos of xxx") are indexed together as a thematic sort-group at the top while the plain alphabetical array is reserved for subcategories about characters of the topic itself ("Nature of xxx", "Politics of xxx"...). Regards. Orrlingtalk 12:16, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification. Funandtrvl (talk) 18:21, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
