Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. OhNo itsJamie Talk 16:40, 11 June 2023 (UTC)


 * There is a place called Kangaroo Point. It is only 50 miles upstream from Concordia, where the article in the Concordia Intelligencer is cited as being the first known use of the term. The article contains the phrase "Some sources suggest..." to propose alternative etymologies, therefore I think it is not unreasonable to suggest that a settlement called Kangaroo Point might have been the origin of the phrase. My source is a map of the district. I don't think that is an unreasonable or factually incorrect supposition. It is far more probable than saying it was coined because it is a silly name like Kalamazoo. Why would a Concordia newspaper use that term if it meant nothing to its readership?

 * I don't think you've read WP:NOR. What you are proposing is a clear violation of that. OhNo itsJamie Talk 16:55, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, so Wikipedia will only accept material which has been published elsewhere. I get that. If I get my suggestion published in the letters page of a British newspaper, will that be an acceptable source? SageGreenWoman (talk) 17:01, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
 * A letter to the editor does not qualify as a reliable source, so no. OhNo itsJamie Talk 17:12, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
