Forum:Categories

A lot of article here may have no categories, may have a couple categories, some may have a lot of categories, some different categories than others even though it's the same thign being categorized, it seems to be unorganized. Perhaps we should discuss organization? I suggest the following, as major things to categorize:


 * Birth year
 * Death year (Using Living people category if living)
 * Surname
 * Immigrant categories - categories their original country and their new homeland
 * Nationality categories - categories where they were born
 * Ancestry categories - categorizes people by their ancestors' nationalities

Now, occupations. How shall we do this? by business? type of job in their field? How shall we do this? For example, if someone is a dairy farmer, categorize them like this: Category:Dairy farmers then categorize the above category with: Category:Farmers then categorize the above category with: Category:People by occupation then categorize the above category with: Category:People

Positions: Now, royalty and military people

Royalty: How shall we categorize them?

Dukes of _____ Barons of _____ Earls of _____ Kings of _____ Counts of _____ Emperors of _____ Princes of _____ Now what about these:

Duchesses of _____ Baronesses of _____ Queens of ______ Countesses of _____ Emperoresses of _____ Princess of _____

Both males and females may have a title of the same place and be in different categories. What shall we do about this?

Military:

to name a few. But, would we sub cat them? by military division? by country of service? by war?

I'm sure there are more categorizations out there. - AMK152 (Talk • Contributions 16:41, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
