[[Image:People3.jpg|right|thumb|150px|People on the stairs to the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago ]] In general, the English word ''people'' refers to a specific group of humans, or to persons in a general sense. A people may also be a group of humans which possess a common characteristic such as nationality, skin colour or a common culture. In the case of nationality, the group might be a nation. The Old Testament refers to ''the people of Moses'', who are considered a nation, a religion, and a culture. The individuals were assumed to share values, beliefs and a group identity. In practice, it was often hard to define such a group precisely, due to its static nature. As this type of racial identity is a compelling concept, such notions are often subverted as propaganda an attempts to promote political issues. In the West, a notable example is the Germany Nazi Party's propaganda against the Jews in the 1930s and 1940s. ==See also== * Lists of people * Kinship group People cv:Халăх nah:Tlaca simple:People

Please restrain yourself from vandalising pages on wikipedia. If you have a complaint about a particular subject, post an informative or unbiased opinion on the page. That will stay in place and people will read it. Replacing portraits with hitler and dog feces will be promptly dealth with and few people will be exposed to genuine grievances. This is a final warning. If you continue to vandalise pages, I will block you immediately. Thanks, User:Morwen 10:55, May 17, 2004 (UTC)

Should we order it by family name? Actors and Actresses instead of Actors and Actresses in the Meryl Streep article? I prefer first name ordering, but that doesn't seem like something an encyclopedia would do. - User:Jeandr�, 2004-05-31t20:00z *Yes, by family name. More specifically, in the order discussed in Talk:List of people by name --User:Amillar 05:00, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC) ==Ideas for broader subcategories== How about splitting off :Category:People by profession? Another that comes to mind is :Category:Prizewinners, or something similar, to hold the various prizewinner and honor recipient categories. User:Bryan Derksen 09:02, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC) * I agree about :Category:People by profession, altho we can quibble about the exact category. Since this suggestion has not been followed up, let's discuss the name issue, and do it, once there's agreement. --User:JerzyUser talk:Jerzy 20:36, 2004 Aug 17 (UTC) === Category Title: Professions or its Alternatives === *My misgivings abt :Category:People by profession are two: *# Profession (or whatever) can do double duty, and perhaps might as well, since no one but people have professions. If there were a :Category:Professions, it could be a subcat of :Category:People and of, say, :Category:Fields of knowledge and/or :Category:Useful arts (or an alternative). (Useful arts is a (perhaps poorly named) Dewey Decimal category; i admit to vagueness about its breadth, but i think it excludes Lit and Science and Biog.) *# "Profession" has a several meanings, including those used in labor law and probably liability law. (Is teaching a profession, if you can't be sued for malpractice of it?) So does "occupation" (boondoggle arts-and-crafts is part of occupational therapy; both housemaid's knee and tennis elbow are occupational diseases, tho neither housemaid nor amateur tennis are usually thought of as professions). IMO, "Occupations" or "Human activities" (or something else) could have "Professions" or "Livelihoods" as a subcategory, and also "Sports", "Music", "Arts", and maybe "Sexual behaviors". :--User:JerzyUser talk:Jerzy 20:36, 2004 Aug 17 (UTC) === Category Title: Prizewinners or its Alternatives === :Category:Laureates? :Category:Honorees? These seem to me capable of embracing both prizes and prizeless formal honors.

Should these articles be removed from this category? User:Anthony DiPierro User:Anthony_DiPierro/warning 14:41, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Categorization of people - general discussion == see also: wikipedia:categorization of people and its discussion page - maybe I was too fast in creating that new article, and the discussion should have been out here first (as suggested by user:Beland on CfD page), sorry if having caused inconvenience... --User:Francis Schonken 13:30, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC) :Cool, thanks for lending a hand.

I have erased this comment "surat an-Nas (The People) in the Qur'an." I thinks it's got nothing to do with the subject, it's just a translation of a word, otherwise we would have to put in every article the translation of some soura, (eg: the sun: sourat echams). But some one put it back. - Agurzil Actually, I do intend to add such disambiguations elsewhere; compare revelation, which includes a link at the beginning to the Book of Revelation in the Bible. - 23:19, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
