Line 22:

I have added three points to focus the task without causing too much pain to the authors of existing examples (I hope), and following the discussion above. Comments/corrections welcome :-)

I'm not sure I completely understand your wording (or perhaps, word choice):

'' ... must provide an example that uses a change in the case of successive alphabetical characters instead. ''

Now, to me, successive alphabetical characters could be   '''AB''',   '''RS''',   or   '''KL'''   ...   for instance).

<br>Now, in     ''changing the case''     of those successive characters   ...   to what?   '''Ab''',   '''rS''',   ... ?

As I understand the Bacon cipher, only two characters (usually Latin letters for this audience) are used.   Once two successive letters (characters) are chosen, I don't see how changing the case could be done;   it only makes sense to me if one changes the case of a single letter, and that the upper and lower case versions (of a single letter) are the characters chosen for the Bacon cipher.

(I assume the Latin alphabet is being referred to, but could Greek or Cyrillic be used?)

By the way, did you mean to say,   ''successive alphabetical letters''   (instead of   ''characters'')?   -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 08:26, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
