Category talk:News
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've created this new category to incorporate newsworthy items into a categorised system. The idea being:
- News from just one day/month is included in the month category (ie. Category:December 2004 news)
- News items from more than one month are included in the year category (ie. Category:2004 news)
- News items from more than one year are included in the decade category (ie. Category:2000s news)
The idea is to collect together news items that may not be covered in other sections (sports, conflicts, etc). An example would be Rumaisa Rahman, the smallest baby ever born, who was in the news from the 20th of December for that simple fact. Not wanting to cast doubt on her future achievements but what are the possibilities that that article will be linked to from many others? And the only suitable category at present is Category:2004 births.
Any feedback on this? Is it a worthwhile idea or a little pointless? violet/riga (t) 11:50, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Births and deaths
Should the birth and deaths categories (eg. Category:2004 births and Category:2004 deaths) be subcategories of the news categories or just linked to them? violet/riga (t) 16:01, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
My first thoughts on seeing this category would be that it would contain articles like New York Times or headline. Is there a better name for this category, so that it doesn't get confused with Category:Journalism? Best, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 21:34, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)
- I would see Category:Journalism as a subset of Category:News. Perhaps just adding the latter to the former would satisfy that? violet/riga (t) 23:32, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
