Civil disorder or protest
On 31 May 2013 Piotrus removed this category from Category:Protests by type and included it under Category:Civil disorder instead. While in general I agree that strikes are a form of civil disorder, I do not think that in "drilling down" one would look for "strikes" under "civil disorder". Similarly, I don't think one would look for "civil disobedience‎" under "civil disorder", although technically civil disobedience is a form of civil disorder. I am not sure that civil disorder in general is a type of protest, although riots may be a form of protest as well as for other reasons. I would remove "civil disorder" as a type of protest, and put "riots", "civil disobedience‎‎", and "strikes (protest)" directly under "types of protest". --Bejnar (talk) 18:49, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, so when is civil disorder not a form of protest? Perhaps a good compromise would be to readd the protest by type category to the categories you note, but also leave it with civil disorder. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 01:02, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

As a compromise, I like it, so long as "civil disorder" is not a sub to "type of protest", because then the myopic rule followers would undo the compromise, saying that the three had been improperly promoted. "Civil disorder" and "Type of Protest" should be the same level of generality on the branching tree, with mutual see alsos. (In passing, civil disorder not primarily a form of protest when it is motivated by greed or ambition. Standing in line at the movie theatre, a bully comes and pushes his way to the front, civil disorder yes, protest not really, only the bully's protest that his inherent right to be first was compromised by civility.) If that is acceptable, I will go ahead and make the changes. --Bejnar (talk) 16:17, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, fair enough. It's indeed impossible classify all civil disorder as protest. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:31, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
