Talk:Case sensitivity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] November
For information/discussion on case sensitivity, check out wikimedia (the backbone of wikipedia): http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Case_sensitivity. rs2 22:30, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
This is wrong: "...in German there is no uppercase form for the sharp s ("ß")." The uppercase form for the sharp s is "SS". Can't find the edit button for the upper part of the article, so i can't correct it myself.
I see Wikipedia itself neglects to volunteer to smash case, for instance the articles Case sensitivity and Case Sensitivity are NOT NOT NOT the same article.
Is there an example in Wikipedia where this neglect to smash case actually helps people, apart from the significant example of perhaps measurably reducing the work of the servers that host Wikipedia?
Brion you might think I'm some kind of anti-american nazi :-)
- Why so? Case-sensitivity is probably common to all languages that use the tiny fraction of writing systems which exhibit case. --Brion
I have noticed, that the Page Titles are case sensitive (except the first letter). But didn't find any explanation about that. While it might be completely offtopic here, does that make sense? Is there any discussion or explanation about that topic, and I only didn't find it?
Thanks, User:NilsB
[edit] hyphen-sensitive
I would think "case sensitivity" is correct, but as an adjective or adverb, wouldn't it be "case-sensitive" and "case-sensitively" etc.? — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 04:59, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed. When two words are used as a single adjective, a hyphen is necessary. dachshund2k3 (talk) 02:04, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Case sensitive web search engines?
This may be not be the correct place to ask for this, but I needed to do a case sensitive web search and came up with.. nothing.
As good as Google otherwise is, it lacks this feature. Alta Vista supposedly had this, but doesn't anymore. Any suggestions? Anything on this on Wikipedia?
[edit] Vandalism
Can anyone hazard a guess at why this article has been the target of so much vandalism over the last day or 2? -- Smjg (talk) 22:17, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- It's linked in MediaWiki:Noarticletext, MediaWiki:Noexactmatch (through the redirect case sensitive), and MediaWiki:Noexactmatch-nocreate (through case sensitive) which was created on 25, October 2008. So the visibility of this system message may explain the important rise in traffic of case sensitive, [1], whilst the traffic of case sensitivity alone relatively diminished. This explains the cumulated traffic and so the level of vandalism here. Cenarium Talk 01:39, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
