[edit] Clean Up?
The article is looking pretty messy; could it be cleaned up at all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.62.217 (talk) 16:21, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Categories
I have re-introduced the category: Tudor People. I think it is useful to have all the important courtiers in one group. If people want to delete this, could they please state their reasons on here first and we can see what the consensus is? Thanks. Boleyn (talk) 16:37, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- You only have to look at the contents of the category to see why Lady Knollys should not be included under Category:Tudor people : ie. because she is a woman. All the people in the category (apart from those recently added by you) are men. The women go in the sub-category Category:Women of the Tudor period. Sexist it may be, but this is in line with Category:Anglo-Saxon women, Category:Women of medieval England, etc. If you wish to change this situation, you should start a discussion on one (or preferably all) of these pages (and probably others). Until a concensus is reached the ladies should not be put into the parent category. Verica Atrebatum (talk) 22:38, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. I have been editing on Wikipedia for only a few months, but there were certainly women on Tudor people before I started adding. Do you know how to add 'Women of the Tudor period' to the sub-categories that show up when you go to Tudor people, as 'Tudor clergy' is? If so, the two categories would be separate yet linked.Boleyn (talk) 09:32, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Or perhaps renaming the category 'Men of the Tudor period', for clarity? 'People' clearly implies men, women and children. I have now removed all women on the Tudor people page and have set up the question on its Talk page re change of name. Boleyn (talk) 10:18, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- It does appear under the sub-categories, but only when you bring up 'W' for Women. I must say, I find this very annoying and often think that sub-categories are missing when they're just listed on a subsequent page. I agree that 'Men of the Tudor period' or something similar would be much more accurate. It would be a lot of work to move all the entries, but you could suggest the category is renamed and then, if agreed, an administrator would do it all automatically.
