Query

What does "Nationality is reflected by the occupation category" mean? Occuli (talk) 20:43, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

1. What does "Nationality is reflected by the occupation category" mean?
2. What does "The place of birth is rarely notable" mean? Does it mean "rarely relevant to nationality" or perhaps "cannot be assumed to confer nationality"? Occuli (talk) 15:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

See Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (categories)#Residence:

• Residential categories should not be used to record people that have never resided in that place. Nationality is reflected by the occupation category (above), not country or county or city of residence.
  • The place of birth is rarely notable.

That is not sufficient reason to revert, because

1. You didn't address the question. You just brought the source. Which we all know. The problem is that that phrase is unclear.
2. You must be well aware of the fact that this phrase is under discussion there, since you have participated in that discussion yourself. Debresser (talk) 12:45, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
