- I have created Category:The Arts with a redirect from Category:The arts after discuss under Category_talk:Art#Category:Art — Jonathan Bowen 18:12, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
I have re-added the "Culture" category — The Arts are a very important sub-part of culture in my view! — Jonathan Bowen 21:53, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sub-categorization
It's usually taboo to put something in both a category and its parent category. In this case, Category:Music, Category:Dance, and Category:Theatre are in both Category:Performing arts and Category:Arts. Shouldn't they just go in Performance arts? --Vossanova o< 20:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
