Removed references and sections

A large amount of content and references describing variations and applications were removed with this edit. Diego (talk) 20:11, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

I have removed the boilerplate criticism section that appeared in the lede of this article (and in many others), which appears in more or less the same form at List of metaphor-based metaheuristics. Since I have made similar removals or replacements on other pages, if anyone has an issue with this one, it's best to start an omnibus discussion at Talk:List of metaphor-based metaheuristics. —Psychonaut (talk) 19:18, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of explanation

And this is a hard problem to solve, as the explanation in the cited main source (the 2010 arxiv preprint) is absolutely horrible. Just try to read it! Even the pseudocode is useless.
