Talk:List of regional nicknames

message: A Bluenose is a derogatory term for a supporter of Glasgow Rangers Football Club.  At Least according to Supporters of City Rivals - Glasgow Celtic Football Club.  And also a surporter of Birmingham City Football Club in England.
- Let's not forget Everton fans, according to supporters of Liverpool FC.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Testflacon (talk • contribs) 15:46, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Who's the "thought police" out here?  This is ridiculous.
I added some constructive language to "cheesehead" and further added to the context in which people from Wisconsin actually wear the "cheesehead" slur with pride by wearing cheese on their head, especially during sporting events.  How in the world is that not constructive?
Furthermore, I added "FIB" - "fucking illinois bastard."  To anyone who has ever been at sporting event for a Wisconsin/Illinois rivalry (esp. baseball or football), this term is heard in the stands all the time.  And it's heard beyond sports as well, in everyday language as well.
To the "thought police" - put these back in or I'll add them back in myself.  They were CONSTRUCTIVE, were written with proper grammar and syntax, and were brief and to the point.
Comments anyone?

Any entries I remove I will move to the talk page for further attempts at finding citations. Lets see if we can make this article accurate and verifiable. Hopefully we can get this article as well sourced as List of companies of India or List of Romanian actors. Chillum 14:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

message: "Lower 48" is a term used heavily by Alaskans to refer to the contiguous United States. Since Alaskans don't have a regional nickname, this could serve as some representation. The addition could be added in context with the other nicknames listed, or in the "See Also" section. There is already a Wiki article about the term that can be linked to and cited from the list item, which I will include below.

thread_title:  Addition of "Lower 48" into list 

message: This page overlaps heavily with various other pages collating demonyms, particularly List of adjectival and demonymic forms of place names. Considering the degree of overlap between the demonyms listed here and those listed in the above-mentioned page and related pages, I suggest the (verifiable) demonyms listed here be merged into that page, perhaps with footnotes qualifiying those that are insulting or limited in usage to a particular region or dialect, as indicated by the information in this article.

replies: text: Oppose, as the scope of the lists are different, in the same way demonyms differ from nicknames and :Category:Lists of demonyms differs from :Category:Lists of nicknames. Klbrain (talk) 13:14, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
