Etymology of Sequoia reversions

Thanks, Kevmin - I guess I am making repeated mistakes. I would like to merely introduce the fact that the name Sequoyah was available in German in Endlicher's time in a major published reference source, spelled in a way (Sequojah) that sounds to a German exactly like "Sequoia". This removes one of the key objections raised to Muleady-Meacham's hypothesis ("However there are debilitating limitations to the arguments presented in the 2017 article. The alleged positive link is based on a similarity in pronunciation of the words "Sequoyah" and "Sequoia": valid to persons that think in English, but not those that think in German or Latin"). Perhaps you can instruct me on how to frame a single sentence or two that is acceptable. There is no original research as far as I can make out,, but merely a cite to the document that shows this spelling. Johninberkeley (talk) 01:41, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

The issue we are running into is that what you are presenting is Original Research Synthesis and NOT permissible per WP rules. Wikipedia can never be the place that new data, ideas, or combinations them is presented, Wikipedia only ever repeats what other sources explicitly say. your current sources are not linked and wp is being asked to make the wink-nudge connection that has not been made before. If you had an already published Reliable Source source that specifically made the evidence presentation of a name at the right time in the right place with a connection to Endlicher, THAT would be acceptable to add.--Kevmin § 02:20, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, will work on that, appreciate your comments. Johninberkeley (talk) 18:12, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
