Copyediting 2009-3-14

I did some copyediting today, after someone wisely pointed out that the article was very difficult to read.

At present, I am pretty happy with the neutrality of the lede section. The next few sections are just OK, and the section "Schmidhuber's generalized Turing machines" is pretty rough. — Carl (CBM · talk) 00:13, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This page is still here?

Amazing.

The page is misleading on (at least) two points. The first is the content, but it is not sufficient to be "neutral" with respect to that. Because the second is the term itself. There's room on Wikipedia for notable dissent with the Church-Turing thesis, but "Super-recursive algorithm" is still an idiosyncratic term, and most of the dissenters cited by Burgin do not use it.

I still advocate very heavily trimming this page and stuffing whatever's left into hypercomputation or other target. --Unzerlegbarkeit (talk) 05:33, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have started. Is there someone who can explain the difference between "inductive turing machine" and Schmidhuber's scheme? --Unzerlegbarkeit (talk) 00:43, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can sympathize. I tried to get this article thrown out on the grounds that there is no single, independent, peer-reviewed article specifically about "super-recursive algorithms". I doubt that Multipundit could produce one. Yakushima (talk) 01:51, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since there is an article hypercomputation, which discusses the topic and mentions its different incarnations, I agree that there is no room for a separate article. It should be merged. Is it possible to restart a merge discussion (instead of deletion)? I do not know Wikipedia procedures well enough. AmirOnWiki (talk) 14:02, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
