:::Simply applying various root-finding algorithms in the case of the square-root does not (to my way of thinking) add anything not already in those articles. At most, we could mention that they can be so applied. [[User:JRSpriggs|JRSpriggs]] ([[User talk:JRSpriggs|talk]]) 14:58, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

:::: It's hard to know what's OR and what isn't as the article is so lacking in references. The [[Methods of computing square roots#Digit -by -digit calculation|digit-by-digit method]] given is perhaps a fairly well-known one (taught to me long before WP existed), so clearly isn't OR, but there's no indication of its name and no references have been given for the method. I would imagine that whoever added it to WP was recalling it from memory. I'll see what I can find for this one when I've a bit more time. — [[User:Smjg|Smjg]] ([[User talk:Smjg|talk]]) 11:22, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
