[edit] emphasis

Shouldn't the articles for Logical NAND and Logical NOR both be treated equally? Now the NOR article emphasizes the actual operation while the NAND article emphasizes the denotational symbol (Sheffer stroke).

[edit] Proposed project

I have been working on all of the logical operators recently. I would like to see a consistent format for them. There is a wikiproject proposal for this at: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Logical_Operators. Also see Talk:Logical connective.

I would like to see the logical, grammatical, mathematical, and computer science applications of all of the operators on the single page for each of those concepts.

[edit] Ampheck

"Ampheck" is listed under "see also" at the bottom of this "Logical NOR" page, but that link merely redirects back to the "Logical NOR" page. Perhaps some mention of the term "Ampheck" should be included in the text. I'd add it myself except I don't know what it means (which is why I clicked on it).

I agree this is confusing. --68.0.124.33 (talk) 07:40, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

"Ampheck" once had its own article, started by a somewhat problematic editor. Apparently this is a term coined by Charles Peirce that can refer to NAND as well as to NOR. I don't think we have to cover all of Peirce's idiosyncracies here, so I just removed the word from the "see also" section. See also Jon Awbrey's ampheck article on PlanetMath. --Hans Adler (talk) 18:06, 19 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Er, what?

Why on Earth does a search for "pierce arrow" redirect to this page? -- 64.223.230.30 01:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I suppose you mean Peirce arrow. The redirect seems to be due to an obsolete(?) notation of NOR as an arrow pointing downwards. This should probably be added to the article, as a minor detail of notation. --Hans Adler (talk) 11:40, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

No, I mean exactly what I said. The Pierce Arrow was an automobile from the early 20th century (later, with a hyphen added, it became the name of the marque), and a search for "pierce arrow", spelled with the I before the E but without the hyphen, redirects to the Logical NOR page instead, which is... mildly baffling. -- 64.223.230.30 16:00, 29 May 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.223.230.30 (talk)
