Coinage

I've heard people use that term (or "Birminghamhenge") before, but not commonly. Is there any documentation for it being widely recognized and also first coined by User:Mark Taylor? --Dystopos (talk) 08:48, 19 December 2023 (CST)

  • I had not heard it before, and a thorough web/wiki/newspaper search turned up absolutely nothing, but I can't prove a negative, so I'm fine with leaving that out. --Mark Taylor (talk) 09:50, 19 December 2023 (CST)
    • Sounds good. If you do end up popularizing it elsewhere and you're given credit by some other publication, we can put your name back up with that citation. --Dystopos (talk) 10:00, 19 December 2023 (CST)
      • I remembered talking to Glenny Brock about this back in summer of 2022. She was passing along a question from her dad about Birmingham having its own version of Manhattanhenge. None of us named it in that email conversation. --11:32, 19 December 2023 (CST)
        • Not sure if it's relevant to us, but apparently Neil deGrasse Tyson is the coiner of "Manhattanhenge" in 2002. --Dystopos (talk) 11:36, 19 December 2023 (CST)
