problem with "References" section

There is something wrong with the "References" section of the article. The first 31 entries, have just an author's name (or is it a "cite" name?) which does not seem very helpful. Sorry my knowledge of what is wrong, is limited. (However, if you just look at the "References" section of the article, it should be obvious what the problem is.) I just do not know how to fix it. Actually, there may be a "{{tag}}" of some kind, that I could have put in to the article itself, like the one saying "this is a stub, please help expand / improve it". However, if there is such a "{{tag}}", I am not familiar with it. Mike Schwartz (talk) 00:42, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong

I'd never heard of this before today, so I can't claim to know anything about this, but the article certainly looks dodgy. So I had a brief read of the first web-accessible reference in the list, which is here, and it looks like this article doesn't correctly describe the concept at all. Specifically:

Interruptibility seems to be a necessary condition. The Construction section is utterly wrong (cut-off point is not specified in advance).
Interruptibility seems not to be a sufficient condition. The Introduction makes it seem like it is.
Limit turing machines seem to have nothing to do with it.

Generally, the article is incoherent and self-contradictory. Possibly this is due to conflicting definitions of the term, but my guess is Wikipedia simply got it wrong. --Unzerlegbarkeit (talk) 15:06, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
