17th-century mayors of places in the United States
[edit]There was no United States in the 17th-century. We probably should just upmerge this category to be mayors of places in the Thirteen Colonies, which is probably what we should rename mayors in the Thirteen Colonies to.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:36, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
Rosa Juliana Sánchez de Tagle y Hidalgo, Marquesa of Torre Tagle
[edit]Rosa Juliana Sánchez de Tagle, Marquesa of Torre Tagle is categorized under "Spanish nobility". She seems to have lived her entire life in the Viceroyalty of Peru. Do we really want to categorize people living in the Spanish colonial empire as "Spanish"? I am thinking either clCategory:Nobility in the Spanish Colonial empire, or Nobility in the Viceroyalty of Peru, Nobility in New Spain, Nobility in the Vicetlroylaty of New Granada, and maybe one for the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata would be better. We probably should rename Apanish nobility to Nobility in Spain, limit it to some earliest year (1487 is tempting but might be too soon) and then use Nobility in the Crown of Aragon, and Nobility in the Crown of Castille or some other name, to cover before that time. Do we have Nobility in the Kingdom of Sicily and Nobility in the Kingdom of Naples? I think we want to ensure that French, British, Spanish and similar categories only include people who actually spent some time in France, Great Britain/the United Kingdom, Spain etc and not entirely outside. We can consider what these terms mean. Clearly Ireland from 1801-1922 can be the only abode of someone who is British, and possibly someone can be French if they never left Algeria when it was department's of France. When the Phillippines are directly in Spain after the fall of New Spain maybe some people there are Spanish, maybe. However what we do not want us someone born in British administered Montreal in 1774, who then lived in that area, modern Wisconsin, modern Missouri and modern New Mexico until he died in 1834 in a category that calls him French.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:26, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
Do people read articles before catehorizing
[edit]I just came across an article on someone who was appointed to a major position as the player of an instrument in a public place in 1646. The article was also placed in the 1646 births category. It does give an earlier range of possible births. The person clearly was not born in 1646. I begin to doubt some editors read at all before placing categories.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:40, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
Ambassadors
[edit]I would not be surprised if there are more sub-cats of the catrgory Ambassadors than there are articles in the whole set of categories.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:08, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
Please stop removing people from centuries
[edit]I've spend a lot of time this afternoon adding people back to FOOth-century merchants when you moved them to Merchants from colonial STATE. Please please please stop removing people from centuries. It is really really disruptive. Just because you don't care about centuries doesn't mean that they aren't useful. I think your work about making Occupations from colonial state is a really good way to help manage colonial categories. However, that doesn't mean you can remove people from the century tree.Mason (talk) 20:43, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
