The result of the move request was: moved. Moved as an uncontested request with minimal participation. If there is any objection within a reasonable time frame, please ask me to reopen the discussion; if I am not available, please ask at the technical requests page. Per the 2 comments; the current page's scope would be changed if the title were changed. I've removed the Pre-Columbian era to 1500 and Age of European Exploration and Settlement and removed some other (now irrelevant) details.

Timeline of Colonial America → Timeline of the Thirteen Colonies – "America" is vague and the list focuses largely on the Thirteen Colonies. Possibly split the list in two.

Comment, Colonial America does redirect to Colonial history of the United States, while other "Colonial American" articles do exist. Plus America still redirects to United States. So seems this fits the common meaning for it. May be better for a wider discussion among all articles. Dank Jae 22:22, 16 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Comment, Most of the events before 1553 took place outside of the territory of the thirteen colonies. Clarinetguy097 (talk) 02:35, 31 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Note to page movers/administrators I am in the progress of cleaning up this article to fit the scope following the move; thus, I am "calling dibs" on the close. m s k 18:04, 31 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
