The Wikisource link to the the original text doesn't seem to work, at least for me, although the article is there, as I found by accident after deleting the 'bad' link. I undeleted the link after discovering the article exists, but the link still doesn't work. I don't know what the problem is, so I can't fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.228.99.251 (talk) 22:41, 20 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Casing

   I suppose it may be poor form to carp about whether the author of an article on an obviously discredited alternative to Einstein understands that the origin of "perihelion" reflects classical linguistics (Gk., i'd guess) re "close to" and "the sun", and not a proper name entitled to capitalization
   Yes, any English-speaking fool can infer some meanings of many German words, but fools deserve the impression they make when they presume that German casing rules are just like English ones, and translate, e.g. the German noun Land as "Land" when it just means "land" as in "on dry land". (I highly doubt anyone is named Hans Perihelion.)
