Odd duplicate page notification (I think)...

[peterdbaron]

Hi! In looking at my site's crawl diagnostics, I came across 2 pages that were flagged as duplicate content. I can't quite figure out why.

The only difference in the URLS is an uppercase '"B" vs a lowercase "b" following the "~".

Here are the URLS:

lowercase b example:
http://www.admissionsquest.com/~boardingSchoolNotes/ShowArticle.cfm/ArticleID/142/ArticleTypeID/12/Topic/What-Makes-a-Progressive-Boarding-School

uppercase B example:
http://www.admissionsquest.com/~BoardingSchoolNotes/ShowArticle.cfm/ArticleID/142/ArticleTypeID/12/Topic/What-Makes-a-Progressive-Boarding-School

Is that the problem?

Any advice is very much appreciated. Thanks!

Peter

I actually think that's the problem. Since lower and upper case is recognized as two different directories, this could actually be an issue. Fix it - that's my recommendation!

Thanks for the feedback. Any advice on how to correct the issue? It displays as /~BoardingSchoolNotes/ on the root level. Do I need to 301 the first URL above to the 2nd? Seems odd.
