Category:Autonomous regions of the People's Republic of China

Huaiwei added this category to category:Autonomous regions of the People's Republic of China. I deliberately did not do this because there are currently separate articles on Tibet and Tibet Autonomous Region. I am not sure which meaning of "Tibet" is this category referring to. Feel free to comment on whether this category should or should not be categorised to category:Autonomous regions of the People's Republic of China. — Insta ntnood 19:42, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)

Added category:Disputed territories. Just noticed category:Kashmir was categorised under category:Political divisions of India, category:Pakistan and category:People's Republic of China as well.--Huaiwei 19:54, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Still we've got to figure out whether this category is referring to Tibet or Tibet Autonomous Region, or both. — Insta ntnood 19:59, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)

Since I see just about any reference to Tibet in this one category, plus both articles mentioned earlier, we might as well treat it as reference to both as well. Of do you have anything concrete to suggest? List this in Categories of countries?--Huaiwei 23:11, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps we can now treat this category as reference to both, unless there're some other users object it.

By the way, Tibet is at the time being not a sovereign State. — Insta ntnood 06:55, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

But the definition of a country is fluid isnt it? In that sence, Tibet is a country too, especially as far as some Tibetans are concerned. :D --Huaiwei 07:46, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Very true. — Insta ntnood 10:05, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

So why dont you do that now? Meanwhile, perhaps you might want to do the same for ALL other similar cases? Looking though Category:Disputed territories might help. ;) --Huaiwei 10:30, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

What do I have to do, and why do I have to do that? — Insta ntnood 13:12, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

Add them to country lists? Afterall for one, you insisted that the term country can be interpreted differently (which is true), and all these territories probably qualify, and secondly, arent you a stickler for "consistency"? Meanwhile, I still have no idea what you really want to do to this category.--Huaiwei 14:12, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

As I have stated above, I did not categorise this category to category:Autonomous regions of the People's Republic of China, as I was not sure whether this category is dedicated for Tibet or Tibet Autonomous Region.

The articles in this category already tells you what they are supposed to represent. Unless you find a need to break it up that is. If so, just say so, and dont beat around the bush.--Huaiwei 15:21, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

By convention, whatever lists of "countries/regions" cover only sovereign States, and entities that demonstrate certain level of independence (unless for some ad hoc reasons, such as Scotland for football events). Excuse me for my ignorance, I have never seen Tibet being listed on such lists. — Insta ntnood 14:58, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

Scotland has its own parliament, and btw if you did not realise, the United Kingdom is indeed made up of four countries. Go check it out yourself. Perhaps in your quest for "accuracy", you will now go about insisting that they should ditch the name 'united kingdom" and only list the four countries in country lists?--Huaiwei 15:21, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I know. But you'd seldom encounter a list of countries/regions with Scotland or Tibet, but Hong Kong and Bermuda. — Insta ntnood 16:37, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
