Removed Deletion Tag edit

Based on the work done on the article thus far, I don't think the original deletion tag applies anymore. The article still probably needs work, but shouldn't be subject to speedy deletion. --Bfigura (talk) 20:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Computers and Computors edit

Gandy and Sieg etc. are actually using this "computor" to make a distinction, although I find it very confusing, myself. I can't remember whether a "computor" is a human-as-computer or is it a "computer"? -- i.e. the old use of the word from Turing's time ("computer" was a person who cranked numbers at a desk calculator). wvbaileyWvbailey 14:37, 6 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Kalmár's argument edit

Shouldn't László Kalmár's argument be mentioned? Kalmar, L. 1959. 'An Argument Against the Plausibility of Church's Thesis'. In Heyting, A. (ed.) 1959. Constructivity in Mathematics. Amsterdam: North-Holland, pp.72-80.Kope (talk) 13:22, 20 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm not familiar with it. It would be an interesting addition; if you are familiar with it, go ahead and add it. BillWvbailey (talk) 15:02, 20 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
