 * a makeover tackling the sentence structure addressed the pacification of Algeria and the Colons. The colonists in Algeria were called that, colons. From the French invasion on 18 June 1830 until its independence, Algeria was administratively part of France, and its European population were simply called Algerians or colons (colonists), whereas the Muslim people of Algeria were called Arabs, Muslims or Indigenous. The Pied-Noir (literally 'Black-Feet') were called that, so I kept the wording even though it can be confused with the grammatic colon. Changing it to colonists may be correct as a translation, but it disguises the use of colons as it was originally used in describing the French Pied-Noir, a distinct people. I would like to change it back, just need some help in clarifying the term as applied. I'm thinking of changing colonists back to colons like this Colons..CaptJayRuffins (talk) 12:09, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
