• curprev 10:2110:21, 7 May 2025 ExplodingCabbage talk contribs 9,835 bytes −44 Remove claim Burrows created BWT; Burrows and Wheeler explicitly contradict this on page 1 of their paper: "The algorithm described here was discovered by one of the authors (Wheeler) in 1983". Also remove claim that Burrows currently works at Google; our sources for this are old and if we have his DOB right he is quite possibly retired by now. Add fact that he founded AltaVista to the lead - that seems to me like by far the most important fact about him, yet was previously buried! undo
