This category is a duplicate of "Category:Sandy Hook pilots" Greg Henderson 23:15, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- It is now that you have rearranged things. Sandy Hook Pilots is an organization and the photo/photos in that category were of the organization. The generic term, Sandy Hook pilot is for people who may or may not belong to that organization, but historically piloted boats at Sandy Hook. Apprentice pilots were putting in hours piloting boats to be able to join the organization and become members of the Pilots. Part of the confusion is that "Sandy Hook pilot", the position, when plural, becomes "Sandy Hook pilots" with a small "p", which is the same words as "Sandy Hook Pilots" with a big "P", the organization. I am restoring some of the changes you made so people can see the distinction. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 01:35, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ), the two Wiki Commons categories actually have the same spelling, but one has an upper 'P'. In your above paragraph, you use the category without the 's', in terms of wikidata, which is not the same as the category. So, there are two categories: Category:Sandy Hook Pilots and Category:Sandy Hook pilots, which appears redundant. I am very interested in this topic because my gg grandfather was a Sandy Hook Pilot and worked for the organization called the "Board of Commissioners of Pilots." In addition, there is a Wikipedia article called, Sandy Hook pilot, which explains this. So, for Wikimedia, I suggest that we have a new category called, "Sandy Hook Pilots Association", to represent the organization, and one for the actual people, "Sandy Hook pilots." Let me know what you think?--Greg Henderson 15:48, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- If Category:Sandy Hook pilots is for pilots from Sandy Hook who may not be members of the organization, it should be renamed Category:Maritime pilots from Sandy Hook to match with Category:Maritime pilots. If you want a category strictly for members of the organization, it could be created at Category:Sandy Hook Pilots members or something similar. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:16, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Themightyquill: The Category:Sandy Hook pilots is for pilots that are part of the Sandy Hook Organization. Category:Maritime pilots is for those that are not part of that organization. A new category was created for Category:Sandy Hook Pilots Association. --Greg Henderson 18:05, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- The current status, using Category:Sandy Hook Pilots Association, looks fine to me. I think this can be closed. – BMacZero (🗩) 01:19, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
- BMacZero Thank You! Tag has been removed. --Greg Henderson 15:32, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
The problem is solved: we have Category:Sandy Hook Pilots Association and its subcategory category:Sandy Hook pilots Estopedist1 (talk) 21:58, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
