The following three categories are the only members of Category:Art by nationality that include the word "visual". It is implied and does not need to be stated.

• Category:British visual art
• Category:English visual art
• Category:Scottish visual art

Rename all without "visual". Merchbow 23:01, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• It turns out the Category:Scottish art and Category:English art already exist, so the two matching visual art categories simply need to be merged. Merchbow 23:04, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Oops - I guess I jumped the gun. I'm still learning about procedure. As to your creation inquiry, here's an additional comment that did not appear here but on the project's talk page at WikiProject Films/Films based on books:

RE: Naming writer categories - (here goes) I have checked three grammatical reference books, and none of them mention any instances where it is appropriate to drop the 's from a possesive noun. As we are building a category based on written work, we should at least follow proper grammatical usage. I know it is a pain, but we should try to be grammatically correct. - Lady Aleena

This also applies to the Stephen King request below. Please educate me. :) Her Pegship 06:05, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment for the two subjects above: If you wish to use the word "works", the word "written" should preface it. Also, make sure that the possessive form is used.
Category:Films based on Stephen King's written non-musical works?
Category:Films based on Kurt Vonnegut's written non-musical works?
Should the plural "works" be used or just the singular "work"?
It has to be very clear that the films are based only on the written works of these artists. Who knows what else they have done. The guy who painted the Mona Lisa would not be included in this group of artists, but any films based on the Mona Lisa would be considered a film based on that artist's work. (Having a brain freeze on the artist's name.) The other problem is that even written works is too vague. We want to exclude any possibility that if the artist in question writes a song, that the film based on that song is not included in this group either. How do we differentiate between all of the various works and make sure that only books and short stories are the only films going in those categories? Who knows what will be unearthed in the future by dead artists. "Books" seemed such a great compromise.
Lady Aleena (New sig is buggy)

If we were talking about Leonardo da Vinci, this distinction might make sense, as his works cover many areas of media. But Stephen King and Kurt Vonnegut are commonly known only for their written works (although apparently King plays a mean rock & roll guitar in his off time). "Works" is a term understood almost universally to mean a writer's or artist's output, and it's most commonly used with the creator's name as an adjective - in such phrases as "Stephen King works" or "Beethoven works". Practically speaking, it's unnecessarily precise to use Category:Films based on Stephen King's written non-musical works; what about Category:Films based on Stephen King's written non-visual works or Category:Films based on Stephen King's written non-dance works? This way lies madness. Category:Films based on Stephen King works is narrow enough, and as a phrase, commonly used. We're not going for grammatical perfection, we're looking for ways for people to access articles that interest them. For the sake of compromise I would be willing to use Category:Films based on the works of Stephen King, although it's not as brief and sounds a bit stuffy. And in the big picture of life, if Category:Films based on Stephen King's written non-musical works becomes necessary, it can be created as a sub-cat of Category:Films based on Stephen King works. We'll cross that bridge when we comes to it. Cheers, Her Pegship 16:29, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will no longer oppose the use of the word "works" as long as "written" prefaces it and that the possesive form is used.

Israel is a very small country. It is extremely rare that an Israeli film actor does not also act on TV. Most also act in theater. All this creates too much redundancy, currently with the category one level above the film actors. For now, and perhaps also in the future, Category:Israeli actors does the job well. gidonb 18:16, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per above gidonb 00:31, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, Israeli films often compete internationally, and Israeli actors [1] often move between the diaspora and Israel to act. Natalie Portman, for example . Abe Froman 21:31, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Most of these actors, such as Topol or Mike Burstyn, are equally engaged in 101 other media (TV, theater, shows, musicals, you name it). Even Natalie Portman, whose entire career is in the US, has had some theater roles. She is already categorized as a an "American film actor" and as a "film actor", and has never acted in an Israeli film. gidonb 00:31, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Currently included in the category are: Yael Abecassis (primarily TV), Gila Almagor (primarily theater), Oded Fehr (primarily TV), Alona Tal (primarily movies). These actors are as much film actors (or less) as the others in the category above, Category:Israeli actors. gidonb 00:38, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Please Keep for the sake of consistent pattern of categorization of Actors articles for all countries. I believe it is useful that a person may browse from Category:Film actors toCategory:Film actors by nationality and then to the film actors of various countries, Israeli film actors, for example. --Lini 02:00, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Answer to both: in this case I will move all Israeli actors into Category:Israeli film actors, Category:Israeli television actors, Category:Israeli voice actors, Category:Israeli musical theatre actors, Category:Israeli stage actors. It is rare that an actor is not into 3 of these categories at the same time. I dislike the inconsistency. Currently the film actors are not different from the other actors. We have to deal with this one way or another. gidonb 02:55, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • The problem with grouping former and current systems is that there are literally hundreds if not thousands of former systems, but a much smaller number of current systems.

• Category:Earls of Huntingdon
• Category:Earls of Albemarle

At first glance it looks like a good idea to subcategorise category:Earls in the Peerage of England due to its size, but I don't think that it is. One of the subcategories was created by an American and the other by a Russian, and they may not have understood how these titles were used. The placenames mentioned in the title are of little significance. They were allocated more or less at random and the family in question often had little to do with the place. The Earls of Huntingdon didn't rule Huntingdon and most likely quite a few of them never even visited the town. Also the same earldom was often created more than once for different families. The members of Category:Earls of Huntingdon are a pretty random bunch as the title Earl of Huntingdon was created seven times. They range from an Anglo-Saxon worthy to several Kings of Scotland to relations of English kings to minor English landowners. The degree of connection implied by putting them in the same category just isn't there.
If we were to subcategorise all the peers it would make more sense to do it by family - but there are probably too many complications involved to make that worthwhile. For a start it would have to be done by surname, but the surnames are usually less well known than the titles and they tended to change between generations due to compound names.

• Merge Both per nom. -Danaman5 21:18, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge both per nom. Such categories cut across the primary division of peerage articles between the peerages of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain and the United Kingdom in an inappropriate way as some titles were created in different peerages at different times.

For sports purposes, this school sometimes uses the abbreviation "UTC", but fairly consistently calls itself just "Chattanooga"—never "Tennessee-Chattanooga". See the school's official athletics site, gomocs.com. — Dale Arnett 06:21, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Category:English Brazilians perhaps? The only person there so far is an English-born Brazilian. If he had acquired American citizenship instead he'd be included in Category:English Americans. --Vizcarra 07:31, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think it's the other way around. Brazilians living in England. CG janitor 12:18, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

      • Someone should add Jean Charles de Menezes to that new category. :-) bogdan 13:29, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Actually I think it should be Brazilian-English people, just like Category:Jewish-English people. This is to include English people of Brazilian origin (unlike Meneses). --Vizcarra 17:46, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment That is the first time that cfd has made me laugh. Quite a feat. The only problem is that although he was born in England, the only person currently in the cat is actually Brazilian-Irish!--Mais oui! 13:20, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Spurious category bordering on nonsense. There is no numerically significant community of people of Brazilian descent in England. There is - unsurprisingly - no matching WP article on such a group, which should be a minimum standard before anyone creates an "ethnicity" category. Valiantis 19:30, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
