relevance

 * rfc-sense: Alternative form of relevancy.

Are "relevance" and "relevancy" just alternative forms of each other, or is there also a difference in meaning? If they have the same senses, they should better be merged. In any case, "Alternative form of relevancy" does not strike me as a sense that could be listed along other senses.

Century 1911 has "relevancy" as the main entry, while having "relevance" link to it.

 * And here comes the homework that I have forgotten to do:
 * Judging from Google rates, "relevance" should be the main entry, as it is in Wikipedia.

 * I have removed "Alternative form of relevancy" from the entry. Still, I am confused about how the following two senses are different:
 * 1. The property or state of being relevant.
 * 2. Pertinency.
