Definition pattern/Nationality
From OmegaWiki
Most, if not all, of the nationalities could be defined in the same manner. At the moment we have at least two different definition patterns for them:
- German
- A person of German nationality.
- Italian
- A person from Italy, or of Italian ancestry.
- Japanese
- A person from Japan, or of Japanese ancestry.
- White Russian
- A person of Belarusian nationality.
Should one of these used for all nationality definitions or should we refine it? Or is there perhaps a reason for the difference? I think that the shorter would be fine and the ancestry side of (some of) the expressions could be defined in another DM. --Mikalaari 13:04, 2 October 2006 (CEST)
- Two or more DMs would probably be good. Words like Italian can refer to nationality, ancestry, citizenship, cultural identity or life history. --Moyogo 17:14, 31 October 2006 (CET)
