[edit] Palaeoxylology
This term doesn't seem to exist. "Palaeoxylology" only gets wiki mirrors and what I believe to be the correct spelling ("paleoxylology") gets none. It's therefore inappropriate to put it in either wikitonary or wikipedia unless an offline source is found. (I tagged it on Wiktionary as well) Mgm|(talk) 11:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: google for "palaeoxylological" for a change, to keep the mirrors out. It's certainly a valid, existing term, being used in titles of a few academic papers, though not terribly frequent. That it means what the article says it means seems clear (Greek "palaeo" and "xylon" 'wood'). Whether we can get enough material about it for a Wikipedia (as opposed to Wiktionary) stub, I can't say.

- The article was a decent stub before Brya moved the content to wiktionary (thereby removing its edit history from normal view on wikipedia) and replaced it with a wiktionary hyperlink. I suggest we reinstate the original version. Aecis Mr. Mojo risin' 12:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the idea, Lukas. I hereby withdraw my request to delete it, but like to ask you all to decide whether we need the old stub here or move the entry on Wiktionary. - Mgm|(talk) 12:18, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
