Category

I'm possibly way over thinking this one, but somehow one of the categories for this page is really not sitting well with me. The article is currently categorized, in part, under Category:New York City locations. Daleks in Manhattan doesn't actually say this, and, of course, in real life that's a very contentious issue. (See wikipedia:Liberty Island#Jurisdictional disputes for more.) In a very technical sense, all we see is that they are at the Statue of Liberty, which is actually federal land; only Liberty Island can be argued a part of NYC. Since categories are themselves in-universe assertions, can we actually say it's a NYC location? I mean the Doctor and Martha are looking out across the Harbor towards Manhattan when they speak of "New York City". Neither alleges they are in NYC simply by virtue of being at the Statue of Liberty. I mean, I know that the statue is iconic of NYC and all, but it's not at all clearly in NYC, and the episode doesn't establish a DWU position on the matter. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 00:26, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
