Is there a way I can refer to Category:Scottish folklore as a link in the introductory sentence, without making this a sub-category of Scottish folklore as a side effect? — B.Bryant 23:55, 26 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Cornish Folklore

edit

I think that Cornish Folklore articles shouldn't really be in the English Folklore category for two reasons:

  • Cornwall though 'usually' considered part of England has it's own distinct culture and thus folklore. Cornish folklore is more akin to Welsh and Irish...etc.. folk traditions than to English folk traditions.

Most folklorists consider Cornish traditions separate from English traditions, this is not a British folklore category but an English one.

  • Again though considered to be from a part of England, the Cornish people are of their own ethnic group and thus their folklore should be treated as an appendage of their ethnicity.

Robin Hood category paradox?

edit

Robin Hood→Robin Hood figures→Fictional gentleman theives→Robin Hood? The cycle goes on like that. Should someone fix that? Sikovin (talk) 20:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
