Category talk:Public Works

Can you explain this category? It has two dams, a quarry, a reservoir and a satellite dish... there doesn't seem to be any logical grouping. If you're simply talking about "big structures" then make a category for that, same as you could for skyscrapers or utilities. It is best practise to put a sentence at the top of a category page explaining what goes in it, even if it is stupidly obvious sometimes. For example, Category:Vehicles explains that individual vehicles go in the category, as opposed to just subcategories and lists. Gboyers ^talk 00:22, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah, yes, point well taken. I've been intending to change or at least explain this category's name for a while; just been trying to figure out how! :-) I'll get on it. Eganio^Talk 06:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

this category descripes industral works such as the Sherman Dam I thaught it easier rather then creating more articles Chip2007 1:58 24 JUne 2008

How is a satellite dish an "industrial work"? Same goes for dams and reservoirs really - that would mainly be factories and refineries etc. But if you want a category about industrial works, why not call it "Industrial Works", instead of Public Works? I'm not saying you're wrong, just saying it still doesn't match up properly. Gboyers ^talk 20:41, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
