Move?

That is not true; in the external references of the article on extended access control only the German government sources use uppercase, and that language's habit of uppercasing all nouns influences German writers' spelling habits in English and should definitely have no weight at all in this discussion. The "real English" sources in the article's external references (IBM, Columbia University, and the reputable German publisher Springer) capitalize neither "extended access control" nor "basic access control" at all or only inconsistently, so we should definitely stick to Wikipedia's MOS and not follow the habit seen in many technical texts of capitalizing almost every technical thing (device, concept, software, whatever), especially when it's also called by its abbreviation. This habit is not followed in most carefully edited technical texts and even less in books published by major publishers.--

Tony, please take the time to get your facts straight. Dpmuk reverted the page move - not me. And further, what objection was there in the previous discussion? No one in that discussion objected. Anthony Appleyard asked if it were a proper noun - but he never said he thought it wasn't, and he didn't object to the move, as far as I can tell. All I did was clean up a bit after someone else reverted your undiscussed page move which went against an apparent consensus from less than ten months ago.

Sorry, you removed the the parenthetical bit that gave the title a contextual sense; you didn't change the case. I think Anthony was expressing misgivings, wasn't he? Tony(talk)03:22, 6 January 2012 (UTC)reply
Oppose –
this book and
this book and
this book and
this book and others show that caps are not needed for either term. Plenty of scholarly papers say the same. These are all in the context of biometric info on passports, accessed via these access standards. But the same terms are used (sometimes capitalized and sometimes not) for access to other sorts of data and devices, so some disambiguation would be useful. See
these books for other uses.

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Basic access control. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

The link to the first reference is dead, and non-recoverable, as it was prohibited to archive it from what I can tell. Does anyone know of a good replacement reference?
