Proposal to remove this word from the "basic English words" category[change source]

This is a proposal to remove this article from the [[Category:Basic English 850 words]].
First of all: it seems derogatory.
Second: the link to the English language Wikipedia takes "somewhere else".
Third: I don't think that a slang word used mainly in Australia can be considered part of the "basic English 850 words".
Comments are appreciated.
Thanks for reading me.

You're right, bogan isn't in the Wikipedia:Basic English alphabetical wordlist. The article was placed in that category for some reason and when I patrolled the article I missed that. It's since been corrected and added to the 'slang' category. BTW, any editor can add or remove categories. If you're uncertain of what categories to use on a page, add {{Uncat}}. I'm not sure what you meant by the "link to the English language Wikipedia". I didn't find the link but I did find two other things to fix or improve. Perhaps one of these is what you meant. If it still there, please let me know where it is in the article. Thanks for pointing this out. Rus793 (talk) 17:38, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
