Why is Virginia Tech under W? I assume there's some technical reason, since the subcategories seem to be automatically placed into letters, but I don't know enough about the technical operation to guess what that might be. Chuck 00:06, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I figured it out by looking at some of the other subcategory pages and corrected it. Chuck 00:09, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
