975730127 2020-08-30T03:05:50Z ItsPugle Added {{[[Template:Update|Update]]}} tag: General consensus outside of Wikipedia is to use lowercase internet, which needs to be reflected in the [[WP:BALANCE|balance]] and [[WP:UNDUE|weight]] given to sources. Relatively low-exposure technical publications such as ICANN directives should not be weighted as heavy against high-exposure sources like news articles. ([[WP:TW|Twinkle]])

920839359 2019-10-12T06:27:06Z RDXL the sentence is specifically referring to what the OED entry says, so changed to reflect
920528746 2019-10-10T10:41:08Z Dbfirs /* top */ The entry in the OED is lower case. (Entry 248411) There is no capitalised entry.
920525274 2019-10-10T09:54:34Z Dbfirs /* top */ We seem to disagree on the interpretation of the entry. British cites use lowe case.
