Change to name of the category

[edit]

An obelisk is a type of stele that has four sides and a pyramid-like shape at the top. Many of the Axum objects do not have four sides, and even those that do have four sides, do not have a pyramid-like shape at the top. So technically none of them are obelisks. I suggest replacing the word "obelisks" with "steles" (or possibly "stelae").

Are there any Axumite steles outside of Axum and its environs? If not, perhaps "Axumite" could be replaced with "in" somewhere.

So the category could become something like Category:Axumite steles (or possibly Category:Axumite stelae), or Category:Steles in Aksum or Category:Steles in Axum. Nurg (talk) 09:44, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
