My only major suggestion
[edit]...would be to follow Wikipedia's categorization scheme for consistency. I'm willing to help out with the categorization of existing pages. You should add more statute names and acronyms to the environmental law filter: CERCLA, RCRA, TSCA, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act... LegalSkeptic (talk) 03:52, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
- A couple further thoughts:
- There are words capitalized in your categories that shouldn't be (e.g. "Category:United States Supreme Court decisions on Civil Rights" should be "Category:United States Supreme Court decisions on civil rights", they should only be capitalized when it's a constitutional amendment or statute with a proper name)
- I created free speech and religion subcategories for the First Amendment category
- Your bot is categorizing subpages... I don't know if there's any way you could stop that.

- Thanks, the feedback is always appreciated. I will fix the capitalization and subcategories.
- If you want to see how the bot guesses a category, try out this script here. Enter the case name (the page title on Wikisource) and it will return some categories. Also, the script uses a list of rules from User:Slaporte/Automated_categorization/list to "guess" the category. Edit that page to adjust the script! Each new line is interpreted like this:
phrase => category
- Since BenchBot will have the opportunity to categorize a large number of supreme court cases, I want to make automated categorization as thorough and accurate as possible. Even if that script is not that useful, it is a chance to test/improve automated categorization. stephen (talk) 11:14, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
- The list of categories from Wikipeida is a useful place to start. I made a quick script (compare.php) that compares categories of a page on Wikisource and Wikipedia. The script has a few issues at the moment, but hopefully we will be able to use all the category info on WP. stephen (talk) 23:44, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
