Category talk:Castles in Yorkshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neddyseagoon, I notice you created and populated the four sub-cats of Category:Castles in Yorkshire. The old, parent category was for castles which were in the historic county of Yorkshire when they were built. Your new categories divide the castles up on their current county locations. Both your system and the old system are equally logical, but they are not exactly congruent: for example, there is no such thing as the historic English county of South Yorkshire; both Conisbrough and Sheffield castles would, at the time of their construction, have been in the West Riding. — mholland 18:01, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I've now explained this on the category page and here. It was a slightly unwieldy category as it was. Neddyseagoon - talk 19:51, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
