Petrosomatoglyph coining
Did you coin the term Petrosomatoglyph? I can't seem to find it published anywhere before you started the Wikipedia article in 2006. Pharos (talk) 15:48, 22 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello Pharos, Thanks for the enquiry. Yes, I did coin the term. Rosser Gruffydd 18:00, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I know it's a long time ago, and I'm honestly impressed by how the term has caught on a bit in other publications, but I guess at some point you've run across the policy for WP:NOTNEO? You may have even spawned an example for List of citogenesis incidents :) Pharos (talk) 19:21, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I was faced with a research interest that no collective name. As you say the name found a place in the culture of folk with an interest in such things. I came across a policy when I was faced with a similar situation in connection with Leys and 'Ley Tunnels' was deleted even though I felt that I had encountered the term in my reading.
