I am disputing the article's claim that FF is 'clearly superior' to PSO. The claim is based on the Chatterjee et al. reference (10). That paper only states that FF is superior to PSO for their proposed problem. It is '''fallacious''' to imply that FF is clearly superior to PSO for other problems based solely on the evidence of that application paper.

How does this compare too [[Glowworm swarm optimization]] and are these articles not describing the same algorithm (if not, what is the difference, and there should be a link to each other).

Link added, comparison welcomed indeed.

== Neutrality ==

The article is biased. Comparisons to other Metaheuristics imply that the Firefly algorithm was a universal super-algorithm, which is [[No free lunch in search and optimization|not possible]]. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Schwatzwutz|Schwatzwutz]] ([[User talk:Schwatzwutz|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Schwatzwutz|contribs]]) 11:38, 17 August 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I do not think the article is biased, though some of the papers may indicate the algorithm can be superior

in their applications. So it's all up to the interpretation of the results. I have working in this area for many years, and I have rewrote that sentence to weaken the claims by that article. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Ουδέτερος|Ουδέτερος]] ([[User talk:Ουδέτερος|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ουδέτερος|contribs]]) 11:29, 7 December 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Deleted content ==

A large amount of content and references was removed with

[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Firefly_algorithm&type=revision&diff=730193175&oldid=730106228 this series of edits]. [[User:Diego Moya|Diego]] ([[User talk:Diego Moya|talk]]) 20:21, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

== Criticism ==

I have removed the boilerplate criticism section that appeared in the lede of this article (and in many others). I have replaced it with a section that covers only the criticism specific to this algorithm, and refers the reader to the more general criticism of nature-inspired metaheuristics 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]]. —[[User:Psychonaut|Psychonaut]] ([[User talk:Psychonaut|talk]]) 19:02, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
