An exhaustive list

I was looking something up on Wikipedia yesterday and came across a curious phenomenon.  At the bottom of their entries, they usually list general categories that apply to each post.  For example, for an entry for a person, say, me, they might list "People born in 1984."  "Social Workers."  "People With Cute Noses."

This entry said: "Living People."

Really, Wikipedia?

Category:Living People is actually kind of a big deal at Wikipedia, because there are special guidelines for writing articles about living people.
