Talk:Collatz conjecture

These programs were copied here from the Wikipedia article on the Collatz conjecture, where they were less on-topic and some felt they should be removed. See wp:Talk:Collatz conjecture#Removal of program languages. —Kevin Reid 19:16, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

I had intended to do a task on this soon but you beat me to it. I have still gone ahead with Hailstone sequence though as it is more of a 'proper' task. What do you think. --Paddy3118 00:09, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Please go ahead with whatever you think is best, even including replacing this with a redirect and merging the programs. I don't have the time/enthusiasm to review this myself now. —Kevin Reid 14:40, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Retire this task?

Should this task be removed in favour of Hailstone sequence which I have tried to make a better Rosetta Code task,(and which might still serve as a useful link from the wikipedia article)? --Paddy3118 13:44, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

What is the official way to retire this page? Is it possible to:

Post a big, dated, notice at the head of the page stating that the page will disappear or something.
Stop the page from being further edited. (Except maybe the talk page)?
