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:
- Breadth first search
- Depth first search
- Random search: actually exists
- Predictive search: binary like search which factors in magnititude of search term versus the high and low values in the search. Sometimes called a dictionary search.
- Sequential search
- Select sort for loop with a nested for loop
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)
- It seems from a quick inspection that quite a few of these articles talk about the algorithm without actually specifying it (eg Bresenham's line algorithm). I was under the impression that the latter was the intent of this page: am I wrong? Phil 16:00, Nov 4, 2003 (UTC)
