== Should this entry exist? ==

:::: Frankly I'm a bit surprised that this entry is so sparse considering how many pages about algorithms in Wikipedia either paraphrase the text or the pseudo code in the book and list this book as a reference. Pretty much every topic the book covers that is also a page in Wikipedia currently lists this book as a reference. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/128.226.227.65|128.226.227.65]] ([[User talk:128.226.227.65|talk]]) 04:18, 13 November 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:::: I also agree with that statement. I think this is already enough people to constitute "many". PUT THAT STATEMENT BACK IN! If nothing else, put "At least 4 people insist that this book is an essential text for any programmer's bookshelf." And while we're at it, here is an example of a University that uses the Algorithms book as its textbook: UVa (https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~shelat/4102/). So in hindsight, let us take the statement that "it is used as a textbook at many Universities" out as well-- until we get four or more Universities on that list. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/71.85.97.118|71.85.97.118]] ([[User talk:71.85.97.118#top|talk]]) 12:09, 6 January 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
This is misleading - pointing an "Introduction to Algorithms" topic to a book is like conning the readers into seeing a book ad. The article should be renamed to "Book:Introduction to Algorithms" or something similar... perhaps there ought to be a Wikiproject that specializes in books.

I have created a citation template, {{tl|Introduction to Algorithms}}. It is supposed to be "smart", i.e. one has to specify the edition (1st or 2nd), and all depending parameters are determined accordingly. (I've read the book, so I guess anything less would be an embarrassment. :) ) I don't know how useful it is, but it's there...

:Thank you for that. I updated it for the 4th edition. --[[User:ElLutzo|ElLutzo]] ([[User talk:ElLutzo|talk]]) 15:23, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
