Talk:List of Jamestown colonists

Permanent Settlement::

I would like to point out that since Jamestown no français exists as an inhabited place it should not be called "permanent."

heavy revamp work

I've been doing heavy research on Jamestown, and I've cleaned up a lot of the lists of colonists and non-colonists. I started a navbox, too: {{Jamestown Colony}}. For the List of Jamestown colonists article, what remains to be done is:

• General
  • look for missing names in references
  • look for more notable names that have existing wiki articles
• Third Supply
  • split out the Sea Venture passengers/castaways from the rest (some are mariners, too... not Jamestown colonists)
  • possibly identify those who died on Bermuda and on the Catch
• Fourth Supply
  • using Third Supply lists, show a colonist/mariner list that arrived from Bermuda to Jamestown on the Patience and Deliverance
    • determine if those people are technically fourth supply or something else
• Fifth Supply
  • determine if notable enough to include at all
  • fill out colonists/mariners list
• post-Fifth Supplies
  • determine if notable enough to include other ships/supplies. Perhaps make a cutoff date for "first colonists" versus everyone else (such as Tobacco brides and 1619's The White Lion).
• Reference cleanup!
  • consolidate references manually
  • cleanup pass with https://refill.toolforge.org/

...Any expert help would be appreciated! StevePrutz (talk) 13:07, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
