Hi, a couple of your students managed to create duplicate articles by typing the article name in from scratch, anddoing things like using different cap letters, etc (one I think used a plural).

I hope it's OK that I went ahead and did that without checking for you, but I didn't know how soon you'd be able to get to it if I merely suggested that change here. Hope I didn't offend....

Student confusion

Hi, a couple of your students managed to create duplicate articles by typing the article name in from scratch, anddoing things like using different cap letters, etc (one I think used a plural). I made a minor change to the course page to tell them to click through from the names you had, in an attempt to head these problems off at the pass. I hope it's OK that I went ahead and did that without checking for you, but I didn't know how soon you'd be able to get to it if I merely suggested that change here. Hope I didn't offend.... J.

Duplicate article?

We already have an opportunity cost article; Opportunity Cost is a duplicate. Which is the usual capitalization of the term in the literature? I see both in what look like knowledgable sites in economic/business issues. Whichever one is the standard, we should move all the material there, and turn the other one into a Redirect. J. Noel Chiappa 00:44, 2 April 2008 (CDT)

PS: Here's another one: Generally accepted accounting principles and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. J. Noel Chiappa 00:47, 2 April 2008 (CDT)

Sure. Don't worry about the redirects, I can take care of that, along with any other mechanical cleanup/fixup stuff. Just let me know when they are done with the content merge (which I can't do). J. Noel Chiappa 23:34, 2 April 2008 (CDT)
