Algorithm

I feel that this article as it stands should not be a featured articles. It lacks references, is incoherently written and the history section is almost completely missing. —Ruud 23:03, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Remove - not well-written (incoherent structure, needless repetition of basic facts); not comprehensive (history section is a stub); completely unreferenced; appears to be factually inaccurate in places (although I can't verify that, since there are no references); lacks focus (several irrelevant digressions into programming topics). --Allan McInnes (talk) 23:46, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Have this issues been taken in the article talk page before nominating it for FARC? If not, remove/close this nomination. Joelito (talk) 00:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The todo-list has been there for a long time... these are not problems which are going to be fixed on short notice. —Ruud 01:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - The to-do list does not mention any of the problems/issues you are concerned about. Joelito (talk) 01:12, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - It does. —Ruud 01:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      - Algorith's to do
        Rewrite the history section
        
        Ancient algorithms (Babylonians, Euclid, Sieve)
        
        Formalization (Turing machines, Lambda calculus, Church-Turing thesis
      - Where does it say anything about references or writing cohesion? The only thing that it mentions is the history section. It must also be noted that the to-do was created on February 1, 2006. Joelito (talk) 02:15, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        You said "any of the problems" (emphasis added). —Ruud 02:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        I never said "any" on my original comment but that's not the point. Please remove the nomination and follow the procedure for FARC. Joelito (talk) 03:07, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
