Follow-up questions after closing Commons:Categories for discussion/2022/09/Category:Pillars in the Netherlands
(1) @Auntof6: @W like wiki: [and others!] What are columns really? In the discussion we concluded that columns are "tall upright structures that are round and made of stone ..." But here I see subcategories for columns by material, for (among others) metal and wood. And most Category:Advertising columns are not made of stone either. So: 1) Is our definition not correct OR 2) Are these subcategories not correct? JopkeB (talk) 09:23, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(2) And why are Category:Gate piers named Piers and not Pillars? After all, they do not support anything, let alone a bridge or arch. --JopkeB (talk) 14:32, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
