See also is for irrelevant resources (?) OK, can be. But for relevant as well? (Primarily for relevant) --[[User:Premil|Premil]] 14:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
:Definitely. I missed an extra 'also' in my edit comment. [[User:Markhurd|Mark Hurd]] 15:38, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

:Nothing, but some who type ''Banker's algorithm'' to the search box may want to read about Banker's rounding instead of deadlock avoidance. [[User:Torzsmokus|Torzsmokus]] ([[User talk:Torzsmokus|talk]]) 17:28, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
== This article
This entire article looks suspiciously similar to the explaination of Banker's algorithm in "Operating System Concepts" by Silberschatz, Galvin, and Gagne (pages 259-261 of the 7th edition). Everything from the structure of the article to most of the wording, with a few changes, is no different from this copyrighted work. I'm assuming this shouldn't be?

:# That said, not linking math symbols here is probably a better decision. The majority of readers can understand the symbols, while people who don't can search the Internet and hopefully figure it out in a few minutes.
:Your comment does have a very good point, though: Maybe Wikipedia should have a Prerequisites section for each page, in addition to See also, Notes, References, External links and topic templates. None of the existing conventional sections address your problem and I think it does make Wikipedia a bit unfriendly. A Prerequisites section means more work maintaining the articles, but it will help people at different level from different background have a easier time reading Wikipedia.
