Is this capitalization with "Z" and no hyphen attested? --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:25, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
Failed. — Keφr 14:51, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Is this capitalization with "C" and no hyphen attested? --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:26, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
- The entry currently has one quotation, from this source, but as can be seen from the Google Books preview, the source also uses the spelling "anti-Chinese", which suggests that their use of "antiChinese" may be a typo. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 18:22, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
Failed, sole citation placed at Citations:antiChinese. — Keφr 14:51, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

- Cited, Are you happy now? Zeggazo (talk) 06:35, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
Three Usenet citations were given by Pass a Method. Google Groups does not seem to have those in its index, while NNSeek can find only the last one: [1]. There are no identifiers and I have no means of verifying whether those citations are authentic. Therefore I declare the term has failed attestation. — Keφr 15:12, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

- There is no entry for anti-British, so I suggest this entry be replaced with the correct form. Donnanz (talk) 08:54, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

- Try to search "antiRussian" (with quotation marks) --88.251.197.246 13:12, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- When you search for "antiRussian" (with quotation marks), you get hits that appear to be antiRussian, but when you click on them and examine them, they are actually anti-Russian (all of the ones that I checked on). In American English, the rule for the prefix anti- is that it normally connects without a hyphen (antitank), but if the word is capitalized, it must be hyphenated: anti-Russian. In British English, as far as I know, all cases are hyphenated (anti-tank). It is possible that some of the Google Book hits are truly antiRussian, but I did not find one, and if I did, I would consider it misspelled. —Stephen (Talk) 13:23, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- The other time American English uses a hyphen after anti- is when the following word starts with an i, e.g. anti-intellectual. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 13:27, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

- What about this one? It looks really weird - antieverything - anti-everything is more palatable! Donnanz (talk) 14:08, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- I think antieverything looks fine, but in British English, it would be anti-everything. BrE always keeps the hyphen after anti-. —Stephen (Talk) 16:00, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- OK, so be it. Returning to the matter in hand, anti-Russian is correct as well as preferable, and the same applies to the the other anti entries listed here for rfv. Donnanz (talk) 17:14, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- BrE doesn't always keep the hyphen, though it usually does. "Preferable" is of course subjective. Equinox ◑ 20:17, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, we usually prefer to retain the hyphen for clarity, especially in AuntieVeryThing. Dbfirs 20:36, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

- I have cited it but without the capitalisation, so it should be moved to antizionistic Zeggazo (talk) 06:45, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
