PRATT
To answer your question: nowhere at all. RationalWiki is acceptable neither for citing that the term is in use (it does not meet the "durably archived" criterion), nor for language-related information on the term (because it contains none). — Keφr 19:26, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * "'durably archived'" and "language-related information". What are they?Civic Cat (talk) 19:43, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * For "durably archived", see WT:ATTEST: we require citations of usage to be in permanently recorded media, preferably archived in multiple places (e.g. libraries), so that the sources we use have very little chance of disappearing. Web sources do not meet this requirement. The only on-line source allowed at this point is Usenet (because the newsgroups are carried around by a distributed computing network).
 * As for the latter: the information on that wiki page, while otherwise relevant, hardly pertains to linguistics, which makes its appropriateness doubtful (see WT:EL#Content). — Keφr 20:04, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

A side note, and welcome
On an unrelated note, please be careful when editing. We have a somewhat lower tolerance for than some other wikis. But otherwise... — Keφr 20:08, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
