Differences of this algorithm with Moore's algorithm (1957)

Hi, I have a book ((in Italian) "Algoritmi e Strutture Dati" by A. Bertossi and A. Montresor, which is the textbook for the course of "Algorithms and Data Structures" at the university of Trento, Italy) that presents (pagg. 211-216) pseudocode which is identical to the one described in this algorithm as a standard implementation for the Bellman-Ford algorithm. After a little bit of research, I have found that this form of Bellman-Ford was proposed by Moore in 1957 (see [1] and [2]) and later found equivalent to Bellman-Ford. Moore's algorithm is so well known, that the Bellman-Ford algorithm is also known as Bellman-Ford-Moore algorithm (this is also mentioned in the incipit of the Wikipedia article about Bellman-Ford). So, I am a little confused by this article. Is there something in this algorithm that I am missing, or is it one of the many variants of Bellman-Ford and should the article be moved in a section of Bellman-Ford? --CristianCantoro (talk) 16:07, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Valid point, this is in origin an optimization of the Bellman-Ford algorithm, and this is almost never called by this name (SPFA) outside China, where it was popularized by Fanding Duan. As for merge, I am currently undecided; the Bellman-Ford page itself could use some work. The size is not the issue, since there aren't that great of differences in the code.

Tone

Hi, I'm relatively new and Algorithms aren't really my strong suit, however I do agree with whoever flagged this article for tone. The section with examples use the term "We" multiple times, and although I don't know the exact policy on it, I assume it's not proper. I would edit it but I don't know if there's any specific things that need to be kept so I figured I'd let someone else do it. Is there a policy against the use of "We", and where would I find it?
