Portlanders

That is absolutely not your call to make. The distinction is for people who are well-known with their association with a city. Bill Gates is a prominent Seattleite, but he wasn't born there. You shouldn't be unilaterally altering a category without opening the change for discussion. -- ChrisB 04:29, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Again, NOT YOUR CALL TO MAKE. Check the other resident categories, for God's sake. These as well: List of Seattleites, List of Portlanders. It is popular vernacular to refer to someone as a New Yorker if they live in New York or an Atlantan if they live in Atlanta. Torquing an entire category because YOU FEEL DIFFERENTLY is absolutely unacceptable. -- ChrisB 04:41, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
