| Here is the list of categories where I see inconsistencies related to their current
definitions. I have indicated solutions when one seemed obvious to me.
---------------------------------------------------------
Flag - For cloths intended for attachment to a pole and molded flag and pole
assemblies.
Issue: These parts are not cloths. Some flags are currently listed in the Antenna
category
Solution: new definition needed
---------------------------------------------------------
Foam - For items made of porous or spongy materials.
Issue: We need to be careful with the word ‘spongy’ as is it used throughout
the site to define knit fabrics.
Solution: new definition: (with a bit of help from Dictionary.com)
Foam - For items made of porous materials created from minute bubbles. (Perhaps
miniature would be a better term than minute which I often read as relating to
time not size. )
---------------------------------------------------------
Food & Drink - For items related to ingesting sustenance. For parts, does not
include utensils.
Issue: this definition is oddly worded. Also, there is no Drink here only Food.
If cups are listed in Minifigure, Utensils, then Drink should be removed from
category name until such a time that LEGO creates a separate part specifically
designed to resemble liquid to be consumed.
Solution: new definition and category name
Food - For items that resemble food and excluding utensils or serving containers.
---------------------------------------------------------
Friends – (Parts category) major issues here which require a larger discussion
pertaining to the definition of Friends vs Mini Doll, etc.
---------------------------------------------------------
Panel -- major issues here which require a larger discussion pertaining to
the difference between Panel, Roof, and Cylinder
---------------------------------------------------------
Slope - For items with one or more sides angled from bottom to top, with or without
top studs.
Issue: definition is vague and need details to distinguish it from Wedge and
Slope, Curved. (Also, ‘with or without top studs’ to me seems unnecessary.)
Solution: new definition:
Slope - For items with a rectangular base and one or more flat sides angled from
bottom to top.
Result: parts 4857, 44571 moved to Hinge. parts 13269, 2876 moved to Wedge.
---------------------------------------------------------
Slope, Curved -- major issues here which require a larger discussion pertaining
to the addition of the current ‘curved’ modified bricks
---------------------------------------------------------
Slope, Inverted - For items with one or more sides angled from top to bottom,
with or without attachments or modifications.
Issue: should be consistent with definition of Slope
Solution: new definition:
Slope - For items with a rectangular base and one or more flat sides angled from
top to bottom, with or without attachments or modifications.
