The following is a list of the algorithms described in Wikipedia.

Perhaps I am mistaken about the purpose of this page, but I think algorithms that are not (yet) described in Wikipedia should not be in this list. I removed the following articles:

Sorry if I'm mistaken.

I totally disagree. One of the key concepts of a wiki is that page authors can mention articles that do not yet exist. This prompts other authors who know about topic to create it. IE: It lets the reader (and thus potential author) know that there is a desire for that article. Also, I think the items should be in the list. Its a list. Its information in-and-of itself. By removing them, you imply that the algorithms themselves don't exist. Rlee0001 01:15 Oct 18, 2002 (UTC)
