Open problems in tetration
Doesn't contain anything except notice that author wants this to be a placeholder/discussion forum for open problems, however, we have No original research. Talk page contains something, so I listed it here. Samohyl Jan 16:11, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I agree with the previous entry. My point is that the tetration entry is full of people&#8217;s personal research. Because I am new to Wikipedia I wanted to move the material elsewhere instead of just deleting it. The following is from a page I added last night that was immediately deleted explaining my issue. I have no problem with the deletion of that page either but the following problem remains.

Text from former page The initial motivation of this article is the practical need of researchers in the field of tetration and Ackermann function to grapple in a dignified manner with the fact that this phenomena persists, despite the fact that Internet search engines now make it easy to locate prior work. Particularly confusing is the continual introduction on the Internet of redundant nomenclature and notation. This is likely due to the intractability of extending tetration and the Ackermann function from the positive integers to the real and complex numbers. The chaotic nature of these problems has resulted in their suspension within the domain of protoscience for decades, if not hundreds of years. Daniel Geisler 3:08, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Please delete the entry Open problems in tetration. I added the page but I can't delete it. Daniel Geisler 3:19, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
