[edit] Welcome from Redwolf24
Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
- Merging, redirecting, and renaming pages
- If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.
Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.
Remember to place any articles you create into a category so we don't get orphans.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome.

P.S. I like messages :-P
- Hi Redwolf24, and thanks for the welcome! The links are proving useful, and the phtml on your page is interesting too ;o)

[edit] Help with "Turing's Proof" page
Hi, I could use some edit help with the "Turing's Proof" page, especially "proof #3". (This page is meant to be interpretive, synoptic, i.e. I don't consider it "original work"). wvbaileyWvbailey 17:17, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Turing completeness
You reverted my copyediting of Turing completeness but did not stated why in the edit summary. So.. why? Cheers, —Ruud 21:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- P.S. you might be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science. —Ruud 21:52, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

- P.P.S. I guess it was the misspelling of abstract machine. —Ruud 21:54, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] wvbailey here: I have a cc of Wang (1957) in pdf format, etc.
I have a cc of Wang (1957) A Variant to Turing's Theory of Computing Machines in pdf format. If you send me your e-mail address I will try to forward it to you. Also, I have an exerpted part of the first Davis paper. I was slightly in error -- it refers to Post-Turing programs on Turing machines. Oh well, what he calls a Post-Turing program is exactly what we think it is, excepting no STOP/HALT (!) He uses the same stop method I proposed to CMummert -- an instruction looping back to itself. I am going to try to use my copier to scan this, we'll see how that goes. If successful I could e-mail you that too. You can e-mail me at pierab@aol.com. wvbaileyWvbailey 18:56, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] new article: Wang B-machine
Hi, wvbailey here. I created a new article called Wang B-machine and a rediret-page called Wang machine B. Since you are the one who found this Wang-dude's reference, I say: edit to your heart's content! We could call it the Wang B model or Wang model B or whatever. If you want to move things around so Wang B-machine redirects to "Wang machine B" do whatever you want. I just picked B-machine because I liked the sound.
I did find a spiffy quote from Minsky (1967) page 200 that emphatically verifies your assertion that Wang was the first to model the Turing machine as a computer-like machine.
I've convinced myself that only one "conditional transfer" is necessary. That no "erase" is necessary is more remarkable. wvbaileyWvbailey 19:09, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Large numbers
Hi; I moved your comment to Talk:Large numbers. Tom Harrison Talk 13:33, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
-- Thanks for moving it where it belongs. Sorry for the mix-up. --r.e.s. 19:30, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
