Appears to be a verbatim copy of wikipedia:en:Escalator#Etymology. The wikitext should be hosted in one place, not several. I.e. the home for the text should be either Wiktionary or Wikipedia, not both. Opinions? --Hydrox 12:07, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

WT:BP#Huge etymologies indicates that the text from Appendix:Etymology/escalator should be in the entry escalator, rather than on a separate page.

Such a move would, however, introduce a few nonstandard headers, such as "Name development and original intentions". --Daniel 16:56, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

I see no reason why "wikitext should be hosted in one place, not several". Not all transwikied entries are deleted from the original location. If the information is correct and relevant, keep it wherever it is found. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:58, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Just keep, in the absence of convincing reasons to do otherwise. I already explained to Hydrox months ago that hosting wikitext in multiple places is not a bad thing, but (s)he created this RFDO anyway, so apparently (s)he just needed some second opinions. --Daniel 10:36, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Kept for lack of consensus and discussion. --Chicken is fun (talk) 15:57, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
