    Thanks! Ben will fix this with his magic SRDB Category script.

    I created the new sub cat for geneva.

    If you see a missing category there are 2 ways to create the new sub.

    1) Use this link.
    Create a category - Straight Razor Place Wiki

    Fill in Category Name, IE Geneva Cutlery. and use "Straight Razor Database" as parent category

    2) Click on red link for category in on of the pages or type in the address bar
    Category:Geneva Cutlery CO - Straight Razor Place Wiki.

    Then edit and add the following:

    [[Category:Straight Razor Database]]


    _______

    Unfortunately I cant automate this little piece of pie, so try to keep an eye out for red links when you add.

    I will try to see if i can haxor something up, but i want to make sure i do not do anything that affects the rest of the wiki.


    Thanks.

    Done for Rodgers, Joseph. Thanks!!

    EDIT: Is it possible to delete the sub-category "Manufacturers" without fatal consequences?

    I need to go through the entries in their right quick. But it should be o.k. as long as all the pages are pointing to a valid sub-category now.

    It's a Wiki. Change is never fatal, as we can roll back everything. I think...

    There is an entry for a George Bishop "cutlery manufacturer" in the sheffield directory for (I will look it up again later - 1854)

    I thought I had seen an entry for razor manufacturer.... I must look again

    Well, I think that I don't know what to reply.. eheheh! I can say this: in those "Freedom Books" it seems that the title of "razor maker" was used mainly starting from the very first years of XIX c., while before the most general title of "cutler" was used also for razor making. For instance when George's son Luke was admitted to Freedom (1802) the father George was mentioned as "razor maker", while the entry for George (the father) dating 18 years before mentions that George was apprentice to his father "cutler".
