::::: After another thought I really think instead of "from country x", it should be "based in country x". I am Dutch, and from the Netherlands but really, if I would define it myself, I am based in the Netherlands. It might be a minor thing to others but for me this is quite important as being "from a country" really associates you with the country you were born, and not were you are based. Like that we can also add the cat. "no permanent base". This would give a lot more justice to how most of us travel. --[[User:Robino|Robino]] 11:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::: Well, I see very little use of changing everything to "Based in..." - that would exclude places where a hitchhiker comes from if he or she does not live there anymore. "Hitchhikers from..." is more universal and at the same time unquestionably more precise when compared to category "Hitchhikers" since it depicts certain country(ies) (of residence and/or birth). In addition, I didn't really get why "Based in..." is so different from "Hitchhikers from" in terms of national belonging from your point of view... huh? ;)
::::::: Ok, let me be clear. I like the categorisation, it is nice to have an overview of the people who live close to me. But, I feel pretty insulted with this category and I think there might be some more contributors and hitchhikers. Hitchwiki is quite a special '''community''' with specific ideas about stuff. For istance, I almost never tell people I am from the Netherlands, but I am based here. I don't want to repeat my arguments really, but the from country x is confusing since we try to do two things here, one describe the nationality of people (Fuck nationality!!!) and two to describe where people currently live. The from category is therefore very confusing. Also I disagree with how you moved so quickly with this without waiting and consulting for other people to respond. Please rethink you action and think what others might think of it, also for future things you might do. Please remember we are no wikipedia and also, just like with hitchhiking, patience is a good gift, even more so when you start changing people's profiles.

:::::: About "no permanent base" hitchhikers category: yeah, maybe. In such a case we could introduce '''Nomads''' category... hm?--[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 01:26, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
::::::: Almost all of us define ourselves as nomads so that woudln't work either, although it is a nice suggestion. I still prefer hitchhikers without a permanent basem, or something similar [[User:Robino|Robino]] 14:03, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
