Question: Does anyone other than the authors A.C. Kakas, (probably the principle editor) and M. Denecker use this? Also, Why Are The Words Capitalized? — [[User:Arthur Rubin|Arthur Rubin]] | [[User_talk:Arthur_Rubin|(talk)]] 00:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

}}

One of the earliest uses of abductive logic programming was that by Eshgi, referrenced in the event calculus article. It has been used in the European Community SOCS project to develop an intelligent agent model. There is no reason why the letters should be capitalised.[[User:Logperson|Logperson]] 11:48, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

:Capitalization fixed. Notability tag removed. I don't know enough about it to improve the article, though. — [[User:Arthur Rubin|Arthur Rubin]] | [[User_talk:Arthur_Rubin|(talk)]] 14:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

== {{tl|Tone}} ==

The article makes extensive use of first-person pronouns ''us'' and ''we'', which is decidely discouraged in the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Avoid first-person pronouns|Wikipedia:Manual of Style]] and at [[Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#Tone]].

:Almost all of those uses are essentially in mathematical contexts, though, which is specifically allowed by the MoS. That is, "we" refers to the reader and the author together considering something, rather than to the original author or authors of the article.

::The relevant section is [[WP:MSM#Writing style in mathematics]]. I would argue that the article can and should be improved even according to the more relaxed stance on personal pronouns usually employed in mathematics articles.
