constraints[edit]

@SashiRolls: why it should be necessary a human? There are some characters which are also slaves. --Infovarius (talk) 23:13, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Are characters persons? I suppose that corporate persons can also be enslaved to their bigger clients, who are themselves characters in a page-turning rebranded legal fiction. :)
What do you think about slavery (Q8463) being an instance of torture while serfdom (Q103350) is an instance of social relation? SashiRolls (talk) 23:40, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
To my mind person can be real or fictional, no relation to legal fiction. Can you propose another common ancestor to human and fictional human?
Classification now is a random relations, honestly :) It should be improved somehow. --Infovarius (talk) 21:37, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My understanding of the current consensus is that the relation between the fictional concept tree and the factual concept tree is that of object and shadow; each fictional concept points to the real equivalent with 'fictional analogue of', but otherwise there is minimal interaction. So probably the best way to phrase a constraint is simply to include both 'human' and 'fictional character' (and also 'human who may be fictional' in this case).

instance of social class AND subclass of human[edit]

I enhanced several items, e.g., John Newton (Q357301) by adding enslaved person (Q12773225) as a subclass of human (Q5) and my edits were reverted, with the statement that:

"enslaved person (Q12773225) is not a subclass of human (Q5). Enslaved persons are fully human, no subclasses."
It may be redundant since to identify an enslaved person (Q12773225) as a human since it is also an instance of social classification (P3716) but clearly, stated on the item, an enslaved person (Q12773225), is Subclass of human.
I hope @User:MassiveEartha and others will join this conversation

You were rightly reverted. Slaves are not a subset of humans, by any stretch of imagination. They are regular humans / persons enduring the temporary condition of slavery.-- Darwin Ahoy! 01:50, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Slaves are people under a condition (slavery), not a subclass of humans![edit]

Please don't add "human" and "person" as subclasses to slaves. Slaves are not any particular subset of humans who were born with that fate (!!), or have a specific personality - they are just regular humans under a temporary condition (slavery). It's the same situation as Prisoner. Darwin Ahoy! 01:39, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
