Inca categories[edit]

It seems like the Inca categories are a bit of a dog's breakfast at the moment. Apparently, some things (straightforward things such as items of clothing) are in the top-level "Inca" category, some in "Inca Empire", some in "Inca society", and some in an "Inca culture" category within "Inca society" which seems redundant. I'm not sure I know a lot about the Incas, so I'm not sure whether there's any rhyme or reason to this that isn't immediately apparent, so I wasn't sure that it would be useful for me to start throwing things about. But if other people think it's a mess, maybe it would be useful for somebody to re-organise those categories. Wombat140 (talk) 09:39, 23 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Took a quick look and I see Category:Disestablishments in the Inca, which has one sub-category (no pages), Category:Disestablishments in the Inca civilization by century, which in turn has two sub-categories (no pages), Category:15th-century disestablishments in the Inca civilization and Category:16th-century disestablishments in the Inca civilization, each of which in turn has just one page. I'll wait on dealing with that until we've seen what else needs to be fixed. Donald Albury 12:04, 23 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Map update needed[edit]

On Indian reservation the map needs to be updated. Specifically, it needs to include the restored reservations in Oklahoma (unless I'm wrong to call these reservations?) —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 01:43, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
