Talk:Knights of the Lambda Calculus

(untitled)

More information anyone? I'd like to see sources here.

Source: anyone who has ever attended the last lecture of 6.001

I was given one of those buttons when I took 6.001140.247.241.89 15:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, so was I [given a button at the end of 6.001, I mean]. Is there any reason why the fact that this whole concept is intimately related to 6.001 isn't mentioned? Novinha 21:13, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Firefox bug?

The SVG does not display in the thumbnail (it is just blank) until the larger image is loaded by clicking on it. This may be just me, though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.207.90.3 (talk) 12:02, August 20, 2007 (UTC)

It's not just Firefox -- I switched over to Konqueror real quick, and it didn't work there either. I'll try to try IE sometime soon, but I really don't think it's a browser thing. Golwengaud 16:24, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Sometimes the renderer screws up. This screw-up is then cached. I have no idea how long it takes before it disappears from the cache. this one has been like that for over a year. Note that if you re-render it, the background shows up transparent, like it should. Perhaps if a trivial edit to the file is made the cached images are invalidated? Or perhaps there is some MediaWiki function that does this? I've enquired around before, but I got nothing but hostility and "it's your browser"-like crap. To summarize: it isn't your browser; a broken image file has been cached. It happens. Shinobu 04:55, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Lambda.png

Image:Lambda.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Notability?

Is this subject in compliance with notability guidelines? I mean, Does an inside joke from an university deserve to be an article from a big encyclopedia?

189.62.195.228 (talk) 18:25, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes. (But perhaps not in a small encyclopædia.) PJTraill (talk) 17:07, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Dunno, but the article currently does little to indicate why this topic satisfies the General notability guidelines. — Matt Crypto 10:45, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

When the Boston Globe published a big list of the most important MIT inventions, they asked me for a comment on why SICP belongs in the list. This is what I told them. In principle the discussion of KLC could be in the SICP article, but since Abelson and Sussman started using the name, other Schemers unrelated to SICP have used it, too, so if anything it has to be its own article.

Hello Professor Harvey. Fancy seeing you here. I took CS61A in Fall '09. I wonder, is that good enough for induction into the KLC? 69.62.134.146 (talk) 01:57, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

questionable origin info?

I don't think the association was originally with MIT, although it may be (or have been) one of the most public expressions of it. I have instances of the original KLC pins (white lambda on black at top level, and a founder's edition white lambda on red at top level) and KLC logo personalized rubber stamp, along with the original pin artwork bequeathed to me (in 1993) by one of the founders.
