Category talk:Japanese

We can use this one, seeing as we don't have categories for Japanese writings, food, cars, trains, planes or what have you. We don't use differentiate between those, so this does no harm. Everyone will understand it is about Japanese individuals. People really are not that stupid. Nesty ^{Contact me!} 11:54, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

It's not a matter of stupidity, it's a matter of whether it's correct or not. We have Category:Englishmen, so for consistency's sake, are we going to change that to Category:English? (Answer: Unlikely.) If we have "Englishmen" we should have "Japanese persons" (since "Japanesemen" is even worse.) --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 11:58, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

Englishmen is the term used to refer to English individuals. As in "What are you?" "I'm an Englishman". A Japanese would not say "I'm a Japanese person." He would just say "I'm (a) Japanese." Also, I'll be traveling home for the next few hours, so not really answering very quickly, if at all, until I'm home. Nesty ^{Contact me!} 12:01, December 18, 2013 (UTC)
