Origin of the term - Seems to be?

Why does the origin of the term section state: "It seems to have been coined by science fiction author K. W. Jeter," Why "SEEMS to have been" rather than just "was coined by"? As far as I know, nobody else claims to have coined the term and we have a referenced quote. Why do we need to inject uncertainty and doubt when we have the earliest known reference for the term, and the context within which it was created? Centerone (talk) 14:20, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't recall why I used that phrasing. Feel free to update it. Holzman-Tweed (talk) 14:24, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it encyclopedic

This article is not the place for standalone statements of the form "The thing happened on this date and is steampunk. Such statements should be listed in List of steampunk works. If you're going to mention it here, please explain how the thing is linked to the rest of Steampunk such that it makes sense to talk about it in the encyclopedic narrative.Holzman-Tweed (talk) 16:25, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
