[edit] Ars Technica

Well, I figured there was no chance for confusion between this and Ars Technica, seeing as the first word isn't alike at all. No one confuses, say, Acer Computer with Apple Computer, right? But other people seem to not agree with me. Thoughts? --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (talk) 23:40, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Disclosure: I reverted your change and noted "titles share enough similarity to cause confusion especially w/ use of 'Technica'" in the edit summary. In this case, 'Technica' is a less ubiquitous term than your example of computer. Anecdotally, in the past I have confused the names Ars Technica with Audio Technica, which lead me note that at the beginning of the article. Encyclopedia users may only have a vague idea of what they are looking for, I believe it would better help readers to note if a non-common, fairly unique term such as 'Technica' may refer to Ars Technica or Audio Technica.
