Category talk:People

From Campaigns Wikia

I have concerns about this category. It's going to get HUGE if it is used consistently. How can we use this category without it getting completely out of control. Chadlupkes 17:32, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Good point. Maybe it should be a focal point for finding people with only sub-categories. Jfingers88 17:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

You're right, this category probably won't be useful if we place people here directly. I guess they could be ordered by nationality, as Jfingers88 says. Maybe something like Category:People from Chile (to give an example). -- Waldsen 23:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

That will grow organically. Let's just try to keep individual names out of the category. Chadlupkes 00:02, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Mmm... what would go here, if not individual names? Organizations? Candidates? -- Waldsen 00:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Sub-categories, I thought it would be. This would be a useful spot for finding people of any place or time. Speaking of time, are we going to expand backwards in time as well as forwards? Jfingers88 00:31, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh my, that's a lot of people! Haha... -- Waldsen 00:49, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

No kidding. I'm going to slowly fill in the winners of elections that we have listed on the Electoral Calendar, but we need help to fill in the names for future elections. That's where the organic growth comes in. And my opinion is that after an election is done we should be helping to fill in Wikipedia with the results. After an election it becomes an encyclopedia entry. Before the election is where participatory politics kicks in, and that's what this site is for. Chadlupkes 01:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
