I would like to edit and contribute to this page, could some one with the ability to allow this help me to grant me editing access to this page please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hexiode (talk • contribs) 05:13, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
Is this really a useful addition to this article? I think Turing's association with this place was somewhat fleeting, and was rather more by necessity then by design. I'm not sure it tells us very much about Turing the computer scientist, mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, and theoretical biologist. Thanks.

The template links a URL at loebner.net, which at least someone thinks may be compromised. See https://www.chatbots.org/ai_zone/viewthread/3302/ and scroll down to the Feb 16, 2018 comment. If it is, of course, we should remove it from the template, not just the template from the article. --Trovatore (talk) 19:40, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
I went ahead and removed the URL from the template. --Trovatore (talk) 19:42, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
Yeah, makes sense. Why not just replace the contents of the template with the correct link you put into here? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 20:28, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you mean. The link I put here is a link to a discussion about the web domain. It does have an archive link in there somewhere, I think; that could potentially be fished out and used. --Trovatore (talk) 21:47, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
Was suggesting that that template just needs to be exactly what you put into Alan Turing, no? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 22:18, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
I still don't follow. I have not recently edited Alan Turing. --Trovatore (talk) 22:34, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
I'm abit puzzled by the question of how come the ENTIRE discussion on the Alan Turing Talk page (ie this page) prior to 22 December 2017 has been removed? - I do not believe this is standard practice for Wikipedia talk pages. - Can I have an explanation for this?
RP Nielsen (talk) 16:33, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
See the archives, for example Talk:Alan_Turing/Archive_4. These have links at the top of this talk page. Archiving old discussions is standard practice. — Carl (CBM · talk) 16:49, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
Ok I see.. It's just that I haven't seen this on other talk pages before, and the couple of talk pages I checked at random had comments dating years back. - But checking again now, on more talk pages, I did find some that have links to archives of older entries.
Tho I have to say the link to the archives at the top of the page isn't exactly very eye-catching.
Maybe it would be an idea to make it more visible that older entries exist. One of the talk pages I checked have the archives link as a graphic icon in the right side of the screen, visually distinct from the other text boxes in the page top, so that it's noticable. - 'Just a suggestion. — RP Nielsen (talk) 20:44, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
