    Re: Abandonned Categories Hall of Shame

    I hope you're not referring to the birthplace of Jack Kerouac, because he wrote about it. Many of his books were semi-autobiographical.


    Kerouac was not my focus. You give a highly detailed description of how the house is mentioned in Dr. Sax.

    However, I do seriously doubt James Fenimore Cooper mentioned his birthplace in Last of The Mohicans, as I doubt Stephen Crane's childhood home is mentioned in Red Badge of Courage.

    My continuing peer review suggestion is specifically aimed at categories in which the managers appear to have lost interest to the extent that they are rubber-stamping postings (as the two above appear to have been). Categories in which all of the officers are somehow unavailable for review at the same time.

    I have no idea how it would be handled, but continuing peer review, I think, should also look at how groups are structured and category requirements, and question whether categories have become personal fiefdoms. I have heard of officers who leave all reviews to the leader, doing absolutely nothing until someone complains. Leaders who refuse to listen to the opinions of their officers.
