    at associative operad I have made explict the links to symmetric operad and planar operad, as need be.

    The idea sentence needs some structural reworking - perhaps just some additional words.
  1. I added to the idea section a terminological-warning remark in regard to the associativity axiom. This article calls symmetric operads ”ordinary” - I know that the symmetric case was studied before the planar one, but shall we maintain this nomenclature?

    I added a further reference to ∞-algebra over an (∞,1)-operad.

    Hi,

    thanks for the comments. You may have to tell me which specific entry a comment refers to.

    Concerning “ordinary operads”: let’s change all remaining occurences of this into pointers to symmetric operad (if that is meant) or indeed to planar operad, if that is meant. That’s what I created these entries for!

    But you have have caught more places where the links could be inserted than I have. Don’t hesitate to edit the entry accordingly.

  2. You may have to tell me which specific entry a comment refers to.

    I referred to associative operad.

  3. Added a section on terminology for the associative operad, and a note saying that the nLab discourages the use of “Ass” for the associative operad due to confusion with the English language obscenity.

  4. Let’s wait until Urs Schreiber makes an official pronouncement on whether “Ass” should be discouraged on the nLab before adding the note to the page.

    There is a lot of collective memory of how the nLab has functioned in the past, and it’s not concentrated in a single person: see here and the comment afterwards. I don’t think Urs should have to be the sole arbiter – and with all due respect to him, I don’t think such a structure is generally healthy.
