message: the picture here is interesting, since the russian family appears to be from russia...and i dont think russia militarily controlled pennsylvania in 1910 !!  the point here is that these are truly settlers, but i think the modern definition in the opening sentence cannot be correct....please let others add their thoughtsAnlace 06:09, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: True. Perhaps just "migrant" is a sufficient definition. The article may need additional clean-up/pruning, maybe even transfer of sections over to Human migration. Any thoughts on this? "Settler" seems to carry the meaning of permanent settlement of sedentary populations in an area that was previously mostly home to (semi-)nomads, e.g. Lapland, Patagonia or Newfoundland. //Big Adamsky 12:49, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I support the suggestion to structure the article with sections along the lines described above by Anlace. Please also leave open the possibility of future settlers, e.g. a space colony or settlments in places on Earth that are currently uninhabited. Sdsds 20:16, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I added section breaks throughout the article. I am concerned that there are no citations used throughout the article, particularly when citing specific examples. Please add inline citations where possible. – Freechild (BoomCha) 05:02, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

message: This is an unusual redirect that seems to be out of context.  Perhaps someone picked up "settled comfortably" in wikt:ensconced and made a leap. Cellmaker (talk) 13:30, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Surely a colonist is not the same as a settler?  As Colonist redirects here, should the article not define the difference?  Mbwa mwitu (talk) 21:21, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Parts of this article were written by someone displaying obvious emotional and ideological investment in the topic while writing it, and by that I mean that some parts of the article remind me of what a random teenager on an online crusade against white people would post on TikTok. There should be a warning telling people that the neutrality of this article is disputed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2804:14C:658C:4E84:3C40:A720:28D3:3EEC (talk) 00:51, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
