→Is Extreme Programming a proper name?: how is extreme programming a proper noun? |

Line 96:
::I see your point. I am trying to understand this issue as it applies to names for engineering ideas in general. Do you think this argument is applicable to names for methodologies in general or just XP? For example do you think "rapid application development" should be capitalized according to the same principle as "extreme programming"? What is it about names for engineering ideas (or XP at least) that calls for special treatment when we do not need them for concepts and theorems in math or science (e.g. "open mapping theorem", "nearest neighbor algorithm", "beam search")? <font color="#500000">[[User:Jojalozzo|Joja]]</font><font color="#005000">[[User talk:Jojalozzo|lozzo]]</font> 17:16, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
:::I see what you mean. I realize that using "extreme programming" would probably not be confused by the audience for anything else than "Extreme Programming" as coined by its creators. I still think that WP policy is wrong in its understanding of "proper names". It feels just wrong to see another spelling enforced in WP that is out of sync with literally the rest of the world, but I'm not here to fight it. For the sake of at least internal consistency, I'd settle on the spelling "extreme programming".--[[User:Demonkoryu|Demonkoryu]] ([[User talk:Demonkoryu|talk]]) 09:02, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
::::What sense of proper noun is WP policy missing when it does not include "Extreme Programming"? <font color="#500000">[[User:Jojalozzo|Joja]]</font><font color="#005000">[[User talk:Jojalozzo|lozzo]]</font> 03:45, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
