[edit] Wehatetech

In general, most podcasts are not notable as they reach few listeners. Plus anything with only ten or so Google hits hardly qualify as notable under our notability standards. User:Zoe|^(talk) 00:03, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

And yet twit has a wiki? And there are way more than 10 google hits. By having a wiki page, We Hate Tech can reach more listeners and have more NOTABILITY. right?

That's not the purpose of Wikipedia. We are here to document, not to promote. User:Zoe|^(talk) 16:26, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Fine, then we wish to document the history of We Hate Tech, and we have as much right to as TWIT, Diggnation, or any other podcast.

Excuse me? Id like a complete listing of what is innapropriate about my username.

Hi, thanks for the note. Here is the point:

- . Anti is a prefix which means "the opposite of". Citizenship is membership in a political community. Your username means that you are an opponent regarding a membership in a political community. You are making a statement of being an Anti-citizen. Nothing wrong about that in real life; it's considered a political choice. However, in Wikipedia, according to the official policy The user name is not a forum to be offensive or make a statement. -- Szvest 04:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC) ^{Wiki me up™}

Well thank you! Now id like to explain that this has no bearing on my political stance, its just a cool name i got from Half Life 2! really, if its all the same, id very much like to keep it, i dont intend to be offensive to people, its just my username. Can a username even be changed without starting a whole new account?

I don't think his nickname is at all offensive to anyone. The only problem I had with his nickname is that while looking up the term anticitizen one I came across it instead of the page on something relating to half-life 2. The Nickname really isn't meant to be a political statement and anyone who feels so is probably just reading a little too much into it. (And with this logic, anyone who has the term "Demon" or "Daemon" in their name should change it because it might be innapropriate to people whose religious principles distain Demonic entities.) Keep it. - Xvall
