[edit] OF or WITH

If this categorization is to be really useful, I think we have to be very careful to distinguish between "images OF people" and "images WITH people" ! The tendency to include "images WITH people" here seems to be increasing.

I'd suggest that "images OF" should be reserved for "specific people" (Koffi Annan, Queen Elizabeth II, Confuscius etc...) and peoples (a Maori warrior, a caucasian, a mongolian etc...) and "rôles /positions" (a Beefeater guard, a Morris dancer, Venetian Carnival Revelers, a hippie etc...). I don't think the "WITH" category would be very useful, and therefore several of the images currently included here (eg. [1] and [2])should be in other categories. Wikityke 17:00, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Subcategories sense

How is "Subcategories (but not in the sense of the software feature)" supposed to be used? The links are to specific articles, not to lists of images. (SEWilco 18:06, 25 August 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Cleanup request

Good grief. The category tags are supposed to be put on the image description pages, instead of listing the images on the category description pages. There are way too many images on this page. They should be actually sorted into subcategories, or better yet, uploaded to commons. -- Beland 03:13, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] overcrowded

this is clearly an overcrowded category. could one robotize a classification into subcategories? (by considering keywords on the image page and on te "what links there" pages, and the categories thereof) — MFH:Talk 19:23, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
