A fact from Ellen Swallow Richards appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 9 September 2004. The text of the entry was as follows: "Did you know A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2004/September.

Untitled[edit]

I've always heard that Ernst Haeckel first coined the word, "ecology", as the Wikipedia entry for ecology indicates. Did Ellen Swallow Richards actually coin the first anglicized version of this word?

Hmm - OED mentions Haeckel's 1873 reference to "Oecology", doesn't cite Richards. More research needed. Stan 05:20, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Revert[edit]

I reverted the page back to an earlier version to remove edits by user 209.244.187.213 that appeared over a 2-minute periond on 11 March 2007. The edits of that user may have been good (I didn't read them), but they resulted in the loss of the page's organization and even one section. Maybe someone can look at this? -- Astrochemist 13:19, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Photo Caption[edit]

Somehow the caption on the photo implied that Hunt's book was published in 1879. I corrected that to 1912 per the bibliographic citation at the end of the article. Don't know where the 1879 date came from--it's almost certainly not the date of the photo itself, since Richards was just 37 years old at that time and the photo appears to show a much older woman. 206.208.105.129 (talk) 15:08, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
