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)
