Why are we making a list of missplellings? If it is to help us tell if making pages for these misspellings is justified, then how many search results warrants a page creation? Are there generally accepted standards for this? —TeragR disc./con. 00:43, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Coinage in etymology?[edit]

Would it be correct if I add the origin of the phrase, as of when it was coined?

I have the source, as found in the book "The Evolution Of Management Thought", and was wondering if it would be correct to put it here, or rather on the main Wikipedia page.
