Disadvantages of the multiplication of geographic subcategories for People executed by hanging, drawing and quartering
Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
The addition of what appears to be dozens of geographic subcategories for People executed by hanging, drawing and quartering has the effect of obscuring the scope of this brutal practice. In order to properly categorize a victim, an editor now needs advanced or local knowledge of UK geography down to the shire. I suggest that these numerous subcategories roll up to one page per country. The prevalence of this brutal practice over 500 years deserves proper documentation, and multiplying subcategories into small geographies may well be an intended or unintended way to hide information from the reader on a potentially embarrassing subject for the governments in question.Ajschorschiii (talk) 05:15, 29 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
