Talk:Thomas Woore
Shetlopedia - The Shetland Encyclopaedia
Categories
I encountered a problem when categorising this article and I'm not entirely convinced with the solution I adopted. There is an existing category for artists Category:Artists. However, using this would be inappropriate for Woore, as it is a sub-category of Category:Shetland Businesses. I therefore created a new category Category:Historical Artists, as well as similar categories Category:Historical Surveyors and Category:Historical Farmers. For want of a better idea I made these sub-categories of Category:Shetland Heritage. I'm sure this could be improved, or a completely different approach adopted. Any ideas?

- I don't like the idea of artists being "businesses" really. That's art sales, and galleries. Art itself is something a bit different. If it makes money, that's a bonus, but a lot of artists are not good at business... A lot of people are artists as a hobby or because it "fulfils" them. --Pett 08:41, 13 May 2012 (MDT)
