Why are article names case sensitive? There doesn't seem a good reason for it - multiple articles that differ in case would be unnecessarily confusing.
Changing it to be case insensitive would make it simpler to get links right, reduce the need for redirects, and just generally (as far as I can see) be a Good Thing.
I'm sure there's arguments against that I can't see - what are they?
I think I agree with you.
By the way, I was just editing and adding about 20 articles on the Dutch Wikipedia (mostly about vegetables and computer languages) and I would like to draw the attention to the fact that one should generally not use a plural as the name of an article. If it's about 'herbs' call it 'herb'.
