Category talk:Icons of the Theotokos

I believe that this category should be renamed to Names and icons of the Theotokos (Theotokonymia) - from this category everything else then falls into place ... the 'name' directs you to the first level article which should then have sub-articles of Icon, Churches and Monasteries attributed to that name (sometimes even villages or places are attributed to the name). Eg. Name: Panagia Pantanassa --> Name of icon - Panagia Pantanassa; List of Churches with the name Panagia Pantanassa; List of Monasteries with the name of Panagia Pantanassa ---> click off to new articles specfic to each item on the list! Voila! ... Vasiliki 18:17, January 29, 2008 (PST)

The category can be renamed, but the name should be kept short. I say this because a category tree is displayed on each article page and short names keep the tree readable. I think a short name that best describes what is being grouped together should be used. Also, I think that a description of what articles ought to be included in the category should be at the top of the category page. - Andrew 06:59, January 30, 2008 (PST)
Hi, BTW - thanks for looking over my articles and contributing to them ... I think I have improved, generally, in putting them together ...but still have a long way to go ...I have a lot of knowledge on the Orthodox Church so it would be a crime not to contribute it ... provided I have people to help me with my terrible grammatical faux pas! -- Vasiliki 14:10, January 30, 2008 (PST)
