Talk:List of people who were executed

message: I have put dates and brief word on reason for execution to most of the people.  I removed Jean Moulin as it doesn't sound like he was actually executed and George Kelly is a disambig page but of the Kellys with bios none seem to have been executed.
I put the murders in a group but avoided murderers with more political stances.  Possible categories I would suggest are: Assassinion (successful or not), Deposed leaders (and families), Espionage (spys, freedom fighters etc.), Political opponents (a better title may be found), Religion/Heresy and War criminals.  I know some may be a bit dubious but so if anyone has any suggestions...  I will move most of these is a few days, if nobody complains deeply, and the rest rapists, pacifists, adulteresses and revoultionries can go in other. MeltBanana 20:22, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dividing into groups 

message: I know he was a lawyer, but doesn't he fit better with religious figures than with treason? Joan of Arc was never in any formal religious order either as far as I recall. She is in religious figures as a Catholic saint and More I believe was canonized much earlier. Any objection to me moving him? (Note I am well aware he had Protestants killed and could be brutally cruel in his polemics. However Thomas Cranmer supported several executions and also supported Lady Jane Grey's claim to the throne according to BBC. This is arguably more "treasonous", but he's in the religion list)--T.

replies: text: Some people certainly do not fit easily within just one particular group.  I tried to group them by what they were accused of at the time, hence Joan heresy and More treason.  But charges of treason are so vague and often misused that that group should probably be as short a possible. I certainly don't mind if you move some peeps around.
