Category talk:American colonial people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • This category needs clarification. Is it supposed to include everyone associated with the 13 colonies from the first explorer and settler until the American revolution?

If they played a role in the colonies prior to the revolution should be both in this category and the American Revolution people category? What about people who played multiple roles prior to the Revolution? Should they be placed in each subcategory of American colonial people in which they played a roll? Should they also be placed in this category when they did more than what the sub-categories cover? Ideas? Thanks Hmains 19:24, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

    • I created it because there was no category for American people who lived before the Revolutionary War. My guideline has been that if they qualify for the Revolutionary War people category, not to add them here. As for subcategories, the general categorization rules apply. --Jake 17:34, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
