Category talk:Characters by date

Just as a point of clarity (and it goes for Category:Cities by date as well, how are we defining 'by date'? Characters who simply appear in said period, characters who were born in said period or characters who died in said period? Dr Death 09:58, 28 September 2007 (EDT)

I was intending that if they lived during that period, they would be put into that category. For instance, Fëanor would be put into the Category for Years of the Trees, as he was born then and died at the end of that age. Elrond would be put into the categories for all four ages of Middle-earth. Círdan would be put into the five later ages of Arda. It's just another way to find and reference people. The same goes for cities, and even objects if we want to go that far. If you have different ideas, I'd be ready to hear them. --Narfil Palùrfalas 11:16, 28 September 2007 (EDT)

I like the idea, I was just thinking "Characters by Age" but on second thought that could mislead people to think how old the characters are, so by date works for me.. --Hyarion 11:21, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
