Who is Bob Jenkins?

I'm glad he decided to contribute so much, but honestly it seems like he is just plugging his website. Unless his work has been published in a peer-reviewed journal, I don't think it should be continuously cited throughout this article. A simple mention of his site in the external links section would suffice. --Kibblesnbits 17:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bob has produced some very good research articles in hash functions. We who do hash function research are often in the industry, and do not have easy access to academic publications. MegaHasher 06:31, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the article is pretty weak, however I see it being used in HBase (HDFS/Hadoop) and people have ported versions to python, java, and ruby. I think it's important enough to keep, BUT the article needs clarification and expansion. Cgthayer (talk) 16:17, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
