These issues should relatively easy to resolve. I look forward to reading the entire article. [[User:Awadewit|Awadewit]] ([[User talk:Awadewit|talk]]) 21:13, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
* '''Strong Oppose''' - lack of citations for over 50% of the page means that it fails the citation requirements. [[User:Ottava Rima|Ottava Rima]] ([[User talk:Ottava Rima|talk]]) 13:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
* Problem - many of the paragraphs are lacking citations or, if having them, there are no citations covering many sentences. See the end of the section "Greatest common divisor" for just one example. This needs to be fixed before it can pass FAC. [[User:Ottava Rima|Ottava Rima]] ([[User talk:Ottava Rima|talk]]) 23:45, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

******Yes it's true that FA has a verifiability criterion. But it does not automatically follow that all information is needed to be cited. This is a logical jump not supported by any listed policy, guideline, or FA criterion. In addition, SCG has been found to be satisfactory in prior FA nominations by Raul and Sandy. So I'm afraid your opinion is just your opinion, without consensus, and will probably be ignored as far as this nomination goes. --[[User:C S|C S]] ([[User talk:C S|talk]]) 03:51, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
******I agree with CS. Please re-read [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]] to gain a better understanding of the policy. My only quibble with respect to verifiability was the "oldest algorithm" bit. The discussion above has laid that objection to rest. [[User:Lwnf360|Lwnf360]] ([[User talk:Lwnf360|talk]]) 06:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
*******Sorry, you two, but I've been here for a long time, I've worked on many FACs, FARs, and the rest. I know what the verifiability criterion is. Your arguments have shown that this wont be corrected, so I have no choice but to oppose. 13:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
