==Categories debate==
 
The "Biographies" category will soon get out of control if we divide so much.  How do we categorize poets, priests, poet-priests, artists, craftsmen, peasants, thieves (Ishikawa Goemon)? [[user:Bethetsu|Bethetsu]]
 
 
I think the catch-all of "Cultural Figures" should get the rest - in fact, maybe I'll eliminate the "aristocrats" category in favor of that.
 
--[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 18:25, 13 September 2006 (PDT)
 
 
"Cultural Figures" might work for someone like Saigyô or sword-makers, but what about Mongaku, Nichiren, Sukezaemon of Luzon (a merchant of Hideyoshi's time), or Goemon? No matter how many categories we make there will be people outside them. At least we need an "other." Unless, of course we just make up categories as needed. [[user:Bethetsu|Bethetsu]]  Sept 14
 
 
*I want "Edo Period" and "Bakumatsu" And where should Shinsengumi be?[[user:shikisoku|shikisoku]] Sept 14
 
 
:It is simple to create a category - just write your article, and put this at the bottom: <nowiki>[[Category:Category Name]]</nowiki>. Just replace "Category Name" with the name of the category you create.
 
 
:As for an "other" category, let's just call it "Other Historical Figures" then - it's the same as "other" except that it sounds better.        Goemon could fit in a historical figure category - he's a known historical figure, and is hard to place otherwise. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 10:09, 14 September 2006 (PDT)
 
 
::I think we have complete "biography" subcategories - but shall I remove the "aristocrats" category, and we'll just put them under "other historical figures" category? --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 16:39, 15 September 2006 (PDT)
 
 
*Why is Bakumatsu under Meiji period?[[user:shikisoku|shikisoku]]Sept 16
 
 
::I wasn't paying close attention to what I was doing. It's taken care of now.  --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 12:05, 16 September 2006 (PDT)
 
 
===Removed Aristocrats Category===
 
I've gone ahead and removed the aritstocrats category, and put those designated bios into the other cultural figures category.  --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 22:40, 15 September 2006 (PDT)
 
 
== Mythology Categories ==
 
 
I'm not sure if it is clear, but the difference between "Obake" (Spirits, Ghosts, and Monsters), and "Mythological Creatures" is like the difference between the Kraken or Cerberus versus vampires, werewolves, and zombies...  Or in Japanese terms, the difference between a Tengu or a Kitsune versus Byakko or Suzaku. Does that make sense?  Basically creatures that appear in mythology versus "monsters"..  --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 23:07, 15 September 2006 (PDT)

==New Categories==
 
 
I have added the Yayoi category and the Jomon category. Secondly, for the stub clay pots section, are all the categories appropriate? [[User:Nagaeyari|Nagaeyari]] 18:24, 17 September 2006 (PDT)
