Category talk:American bloggers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Is this categor only for USA-people?
I'm guessing this is a category is only for USA-people. I would have thought it was for all Americans, but there's also a Canadians category.
I've added a note to the category page to reflect my guess, but is my guess right?
In this context, using the ambiguous term "American" is very confusing. Counld this category be renamed? (this isn't difficult, since there are bots that do the search&replace work) Gronky 23:15, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- This is one of the most controversial issues on Wikipedia. Many people strongly object to the attempt to prevent the normal English usage of the word American, including me (I'm British) and many Canadians, considering those who oppose it to be making a political point.

- I'm not sure which defintion you are calling normal English usage, but that's not important to me - I'm not on either side of the debate. What's important is that as a reader of Wikipedia I want to know what articles belong in the category - so that that category is useful when I'm searching for information, and so that I can know whether an article I want to categorise belongs in the category. So whatever defintion is in use, please clarify on the article's page, or if this is not possible because no single definition is in use and the category's boundries are disputed, then add a note to that affect.

Not trying to pick nits, but many of these "blogs" have no way to subscribe to them. Are they still blogs? cori(talk) 05:14, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Why does this category exist?
Being a "blogger" does not make one notable. Piperdown 02:11, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
