What to categorize here

here is how i've chosen to categorize articles: i find the entry for the original object given the algonquian-derived name. since some words -- say, Mississippi or Moccasin -- may have since been applied to a myriad of other "spin-off" words, this keeps us from getting too cluttered. on the same note, i decided to only categorize disambig pages if the original loan word isn't used as the article's title (as with Caribou or Woodchuck). so: add away, and if anything comes up, feel free to discuss it here! - Μετανοιδ (talk, email) 05:03, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
