On the lists of writers by nationality page I noticed something funny, that being three lists for Irish writers (list of Irish short story writers, list of Irish dramatists, and list of Irish novelists). It did not, however, include list of Irish poets, although that may be for some semantic reason I'm not aware of.

Nearly all the rest on that page did. Now, I think all of them have many less people to include, but it seems unnecessary complicated to do it. My solution was the page here.

There are problems of duplication of authors across the various sub-lists and mistakes, almost all of which I think came from the original pages they were copied from, but there may also be some bigger ones like it screwing up a category list or something. I admit I really don't know.

But as a list and page in itself, I do think this helps things quite a bit because ctrl+f is a lot easier to do than searching multiple pages for a writer, especially if you don't know what kind of work he or she did. Help me see if we can make this work.--Insomniac By Choice (talk) 06:14, 16 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

There are a lot of non-dramatists in the dramatist section. Taibhseoir (talk) 07:00, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
