Spacing and capitalization

The proper spacing and capitalization is "MathOverflow", not "Math Overflow". See, for example, the MO FAQ. anton (talk) 23:06, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I started this article some time ago, following Stack Overflow example. With all due respect, FAQ just keeps repeating "MathOverflow" but never actually says something to the effect "In contrast with SO we do not use the extra space between the words". As a founder you can perhaps clarify this on that FAQ. I will be happy to make a change on WP then, and move the whole MO article to "MathOverflow" title. As it stands, given the ambiguity, I'd rather let it stand as is. Mhym (talk) 11:08, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, here's a clarification at the end of the FAQ. anton (talk) 20:58, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Mhym (talk) 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You've done a cut-and-paste move, so we now require admin intervention to fix the mess. I'll request some help. --Zundark (talk) 07:31, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fastily has done the histmerge, and I've recreated the redirect from the old article name. We also need to go through What link here and correct the name in articles that link here. --Zundark (talk) 08:13, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed the spacing and capitalization in the pages that linked here. anton (talk) 17:23, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
