Talk:Algonquin

Relationship of Native American articles
My attempt to disambiguate the various terms as applied to Native American peoples and languages is based on comments made on Talk:Algonquian and on User talk:QuartierLatin1968. I'm not sure that I got it right. JamesMLane 13:12, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Another possibility that might help readers understand these relationships would be to make Algonquin the disambiguation page, and move the current contents of Algonquin to a new Algonquin (tribe). That way, someone who enters just "Algonquin" would come immediately to the disambiguation page, for help in picking the article(s) he or she really wants to read.

 * Looks right to me, as far as I know. - Mustafaa 14:22, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * JML, your arrangement's technically perfect, I'd say. I'm just going to switch around Algonquian languages and Algonquian peoples -- it's not whether a people is Algonquian that determines their language; it's the language that defines whether a people is Algonquian. Otherwise, this looks great. QuartierLatin1968 21:25, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Earth Age
Wasn't the "Algonkian" a geological period on the scale of the Earth's ages? --BjKa (talk) 12:01, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
