Category:Economical diagrams[edit]

I believe it would be better English to change all the "Economical ..." and "Economics ..." subcategories to "Economic ..."

Since there are so many images to move, it would be nice if a bot could do it.

It should be "Economic diagrams"

It is correctly categorized under "Economics".

Also, the other subcategories should be:

  • Economic block diagrams
  • Economic bar charts
  • Economic graphs
  • Economic pie charts

There may be more subcategories at deeper levels that need to be changed. --Timeshifter (talk) 08:26, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this proposal. I think this needs some considerable consideration.
Now I doesn't matter so much how the categories are named as long as there is one standard.
I based my choice on the existing categories in Category:Diagrams, charts, graphs by theme
  • on categories ending with ...cal: like the category Mathematical diagrams, Medical diagrams and Technical diagrams.
But I admit there are other naming conventions here:
  • on categories ending with ...s: like , Physics diagrams, Sports diagrams
  • and categories without and ending, like: Astronomy diagrams, Biology diagrams, Chemistry diagrams.
So there are three kinds of naming conventions here. I wonder when to use which, or should we make one choice here.

I see from your user page that you are not a native speaker of English. The English language has many inconsistencies. My suggestions in this category-for-discussion page only have to do with correcting English usage, and not about your ideas for categorization. I like your ideas for subcategorization. See further discussion here: Category talk:Economics graphs. By the way that category should be named Category:Economic graphs and not Category:Economics graphs, in my opinion. --Timeshifter (talk) 15:13, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I agree, and I will make the adjustments from the Category:Economical diagrams to the Category:Economic diagrams, -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 18:57, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Great! It looks like everything has been resolved without the need for bot help. Thanks for copying the previously-mentioned talk from Category talk:Economics graphs to Category talk:Diagrams.--Timeshifter (talk) 08:58, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
