Talk:Case sensitivity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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)
[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?
