Historians of mountaineering
Hi Byrdbite, I wonder whether your new category Chronicler of mountaineering should be moved to the category Historians of mountaineering. Not only are all such profession cats invariably plural (so if it remains as it is it should be moved to the category Chroniclers of mountaineering), but there are no other categories that list "chroniclers". I do appreciate that someone like Elizabeth Hawley is more strictly a chronicler than a historian but I feel that this perhaps subtle distinction might be waived for simplicity and she should be placed simply under the category Historians of mountaineering, a subcat of both Category:Mountaineering and Category:Historians. Of course, the category will then need to be populated with the likes of Noyce, Irving et al. I do also appreciate that many mountaineering writers are in a sense mountaineering historians as well, as expedition accounts are often/invariably accompanied by details of previous expeditions (per Bonington, Scott, etc, etc), so the category will be quite full if a strict definition of historian is not made (perhaps exclude writers where the history is obviously tangential, where a "history" as such is not being written. Another solution would be to have the category Chroniclers of mountaineering as a subset of the category Historians of mountaineering..., but it might simply be populated by Hawley (and perhaps one or two others), so might be pointless. What do you think? Regards, Ericoides (talk) 06:42, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
