| Feb 27, 2022 at 18:09 | comment | added | YCor | The current number of occurrences of "Cauchy-Schwartz" is 50, plus some more (Schwartzian derivative, etc). This is a bit large but still doable by hand with some patience (and hopefully done by several users). I once replaced all "Chebychev" with "Chebyshev" (this is worse as it entails a pronunciation issue), but there were a bit less, maybe 25. But also once replaced systematically, when applicable, the tag "semigroups" with "semigroups-of-operators" and there were about 100 occurrences, while only changing 4-5 per day to avoid excessive bumping... | |

rewrote title, added remark (this is some Schwarz who existed, not a "Cauchy-Schwarz") and other occurrences

I have included (support) - the question basically asks "is something like this possible", so I guess this could fit this tag

| Feb 25, 2022 at 20:11 | comment | added | LSpice | For what it's worth, I appreciate your work for two reasons: (1) it's always good to correct these misspellings, even if they're old (and now you know to do them in small batches rather than all at once!); and (2) every time an old post is bumped, it gives me an excuse to go in and fix some bêtes noires of my own (for example, good old "see here" as a reference, especially when subject to link rot). I've been trailing along behind you and editing after you do, since they're bumped anyway. | |
| Feb 25, 2022 at 15:55 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | And here is a similar post from 2018: Misspelling of Cauchy-Schwarz. (Asaf Karagila made a suggestion to collect some common misspellings and then correct them in this way.) | |
| Feb 25, 2022 at 15:52 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Something similar was recently discussed also on this meta: Is it time to replace links to the UCDavis arXiv frontend?. You can find some information about this tool also here: How to find and/or change a set of hyperlinks on a site? and Can the mass-replacement tool also replace and remove? | |
| Feb 25, 2022 at 15:51 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | The instances of mass-replacement which I have seen were done to fix links. For example: Is it possible to mass-update broken URLs to IndianScriptures.com with HinduScriptures.in?, Chakoteya.net links are broken, chabadlibrary.org link structure has changed, and there are now many broken links, Mass-fix broken links from old usages of autocard functionality. | |

| Feb 25, 2022 at 15:43 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Somewhat recurrent topic: Minor edits, subject to review and Allow non-bumping minor edits, but review them on /review. | |
