By the logic of the first four examples, the main factor is a person's nationality, is where a person was born, but the last example runs contrary to that. We would have expected Percy Erskine Nobbs to be classified as a British architect. Could we have an official ruling on this quandry? Ogg 19:14, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Almost two weeks have gone by, and nobody has stepped in to defend the category "Canadian Architects" so I have changed it to "Scottish Architects". Ogg 18:04, 25 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
