Category talk:Icons of Virgin Mary by type

Table
[edit]Thanks, Shakko, for the very helpful table. That makes things much clearer. This information should probably be added to the sub-categories as well, since it's not available on wikipedia in all cases. I can do that if you don't feel like it. Let me know.
I'm wondering if the sub-categories should be harmonized to some degree. Could Category:Theotokos Panachranta be renamed to just Category:Panachranta (to match the others, and the table), for instance? I myself moved Category:Orante to Category:Orans icons but it could go back if appropriate. Or perhaps a format like Category:Icons of the Virgin Mary (Panachranta) and Category:Icons of the Virgin Mary (Eleusa) could be used for clarity?
I'm also not sure it's appropriate to have this category in Category:Madonna and Child by type since Category:Agiosoritissa specifically features Mary alone. It doesn't seem any more appropriate than putting Category:Icons of Virgin Mary in Category:Madonna and Child by type. I'm not sure how best to solve that issue though. - Themightyquill (talk) 12:35, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- hi, Themightyquill yes, Panachranta - rename. No, I think "Icons of the Virgin Mary (Panachranta)" is too heavy for the eye and mind. In scientific literature it always goes with one word.
- Maybe you know where to add such table in real articles?
- how to translate this one [3]? what you think? it is Orthodox version of en:Sacred conversation, it:Sacra conversazione. "Theotokos with ?VERB? saints". In Russian language the saints are doing something like "stand, worship"... --Shakko (talk) 22:04, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- I've moved Category:Theotokos Panachranta to Category:Panachranta, but we'll have to add a category description since "Panachranta" means little to anyone but experts.
- I don't understand Category:Agiosoritissa if, as you say, Category:Akhtyrskaya icons and Category:Pomozhenie rodam icons are sub-types. Your description of "Agiosoritissa" is "Mary without Child, at three-quarter view" but neither of those sub-types feature Mary without child, or Mary at three-quarter view." Either those aren't sub-types, or you need a new definition for Agiosoritissa. =)
- As for Category:Bogomater_s_predstoyashimi_icons, I really have no idea, but shouldn't Category:Theotokos of Bogolyubovo be a sub-category, rather than a parent category? - Themightyquill (talk) 08:39, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
