US-centric

[edit]

It is surely US-centric to treat this article as the primary meaning fo the term "pilgrims" on Wikipedia, it should be a redirect to pilgrim. Would "pilgrim fathers" be better? PatGallacher (talk) 02:25, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. "Pilgrims" are folks who go on pilgrimages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.216.188.208 (talk) 21:19, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. Pilgrims should be a {{R from plural}} to pilgrim. This article can reside at Pilgrim Fathers, or, if people insist that the title needs to reflect US usage, the title needs a qualifier, such as Pilgrims (Plymouth Colony). --dab (𒁳) 07:53, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As an American I respectfully disagree. The Pilgrims, capital "P", were the settlers of the Plymouth Colony. "The pilgrims" may redirect to pilgrim. "The Pilgrims" should redirect to Pilgrims (Plymouth Colony). The title "Pilgrims" is ambiguous due to ambiguity of the first letter (p or P). It surely is anti-US-centric to treat 'Pilgrims" as a generic term. See how Wiktionary defines "Pilgrim", capital "P". – wbm1058 (talk) 21:28, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
