Category talk:Ice
Add topicAs a native English speaker I have no idea what "Ice in technical background" is supposed to mean, and the current contents seem confused and arbitrary. I suggest we delete and upmerge the subcategories to parent Ice. Once there, further sorting can take place, such as moving Ice cores to Ice in science, etc. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:31, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- I certainly support doing something with this, and what you describe sounds reasonable. --Auntof6 (talk) 09:41, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
@Shawn in Montreal and Auntof6: Closed (no objections, upmerge Category:Ice in technical background to Category:Ice.) Josh (talk) 17:37, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
Although there are various solid objects resembling water ice (see Category:Ice in science), the term "ice" generally refers to solid water. So I think Category:Water ice should be merged into Category:Ice and other icy solids (like Category:Dry ice, Category:Solid nitrogen) should be removed from Category:Ice in science, thus restricting the Category:Ice category to solid water.

- But someone (maybe the creator) would use it to duplicate the category tree of Category:Ice, just to broaden the definition of the term. However, the corresponding Wikipedia article of water ice is simply ice, consistent with the common usage. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs • uploads) 07:01, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
