[edit] Categorization

User:195.93.60.35 keeps replacing the category Category:European Americans with Category:Asian Americans without an explanation here. I'm warning him as (s)he doesn't seem to cooperate, probably a vandal. MonsterOfTheLake 18:30, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Geographically, Turkey is part of Europe and part of Asia. Are the people different from the Geography? How so? If not, consider the following. I created the 'West Asian Americans' category to be used for all Americans from countries geographically in West Asia (which currently has all the other countries of West Asia except Turkey). I tried to use both the categories 'European Americans' and 'West Asian Americans' for Turkey, but all my attempts were reverted by someone or another. I still think that both 'European Americans' and 'West Asian Americans' should be used. Can this be a possible compromise: not completely agreeable to all, but also not completely disagreeable to any? Thanks Hmains 16:54, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
    • The cats aren't done geographically. Also, West Asia is silly and not used. Final point, Armenian-Americans, who are part of the West Asia you suggest, are on European Americans category, not West Asian. The IP editor is a vandal, but admins refuse to do anything because he doesn't vandalize often enough (actual reasoning). Rather sad. MonsterOfTheLake 22:03, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
  • . According to the wiki article about her,Diane Rehm is Arabic,not Turkish. Either this category, or the article is wrong. Isatay 05:43, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
