Talk:List of people from Wisconsin

[Untitled]
Please help by moving people into the appropriate section or create a new section if necessary. These titles are (clearly) based on List of people from Texas. -Acjelen 21:10, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Unless there is an objection, I removed the "Founders and pioneers" section because it only had one name (Laura Ingalls Wilder) and she is already listed in another section as a writer further down. If anyone can think of any actual founders/pioneers, please put the section back in and list. HollyAm 20:29, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I removed the section called "Famous Wisconsin Bands" because bands aren't people, and this is a list of people. -Freekee 04:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Inclusion criterion
I think the inclusion criterion should not be only whether someone was born in Wisconsin, but anyone who lived in Wisconsin for a significant amount of time. Under the current rule of this article, a person was born in Wisconsin but moved away as an infant, is qualified for inclusion. But a non-native who lived 70 years in Wisconsin would not be included in this article. That's not right. — Walloon 05:54, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Seems reasonable, but the heading should be altered to indicate this. John Muir is listed even though he was born in Dunbar, Scotland. Finavon 13:51, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Fictional characters
This section does not seem to belong here; it really qualifies as trivia (even more so than the rest of the list). I've checked other states' articles and haven't found another state with such a section. If a compelling reason isn't provided for keeping the section, I'll delete it. -- Sift &amp;  Winnow  00:39, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Duplicate
i noticed that one person was listed under 2 different headings (there are possibly more--i didn't read the page word-for-word). and i noticed that in one of the sections, the person listed just after her could ALSO have been listed in both sections, but wasn't. so i was just going to come here and point it out and ask what others thought should be done.

but i see this isn't the most active page, and that the very first comment on the Talk page is asking others to "help out" by moving people into the correct section. so i guess i'll just....delete her from one section. alternately, i could duplicate the other person in both sections, but as this page is quite long already, starting to duplicate names seems....like a bad idea. now....which section should she go in..... the one with the other person already there, i guess. i'd chose that one for her anyway.
