Need help with Colorado city demonyms

I built a new List of adjectivals and demonyms for Colorado cities, but I still need a number of demonyms for Colorado cities and towns. Please look over the table and add any demonyms with which you are familiar. Thanks,  Buaidh  21:46, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

First, I strongly suggest you not use obscure and confusing words such as "adjectivals." I've been a writer for more than 30 years and score in the 99% percentile on various large-scale tests involving the English Language, yet I've never once heard of or read this term, and I seriously doubt 1 in 1,000 other English-speakers have, either. The proper term is "adjectives." Second, I've been visiting Colorado Springs for 45 years, multiple relatives have lived here at least that long, and I've lived here for nearly 12 years. None of us have ever heard the term "Springsteens." Sounds like you've been played by a Bruce Springsteen fan. Most people in Colorado Springs are conservative, with many of military affiliation, and would strongly object to being referred to as having anything to do with a decidedly liberal, anti-military fanatic as old, Brucey-Boy. That's slander, at best, if not defamation. Common demonyms include, "people of the Springs," "those who live in the Springs," "people of Colorado Springs," and "Colorado Springers." Please do NOT use "Springers," as that's not correct, either. Clepsydrae (talk) 03:04, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Status report from the Portals WikiProject

Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018.

Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, and design the portals of the future.

As of April 29th, membership is at 56 editors, and growing.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for each component of portals.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject.    — The Transhumanist   03:36, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
