Topic: Tag Alias: oscar_statuette -> oscar_statue

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

+1. Since the oscar statues are almost ever small (hence are statuettes) and "oscar_statuette" is more popular, I would suggest the inverse alias, but since "award" is implicated to "oscar_statue" instead, I guess it may work this way.

In either case it's up to 41 tagged pictures and since they bothered to create a wiki page, it's unlikely they'll stop.

Odd, I thought I commented about this saying the (minor) difference between statue and statuette, but guess not.

-1, reverse the alias, statuette literally means "small statue", whereas statue is just something made of inorganic material formed to look like living beings.

"Oscar statue" is correct, but "oscar statuette" is more correct.

Wood, plastic, wax etc. are organic materials.

... forgive me for paraphrasing. Should I request pardon for my French? Or should I be more specific?

I) "statuette" is original from french language, but was accepted by english.

II) No apologies are needed, that was my OCD talking.
