Agreed - I just created this article on a whim. I didn't really think about the long-range impact of how it should be sorted and categorized into the encyclopedia. Where's the best place to create an article on standard problems / algorithms? I can see quite a few topics sprouting from an entry page as described above. --[[User:William H.

Standard CS problems for teaching
One suggestion. Maybe this should be converted into an article on standard problems and programs used for teaching computer science. Off the top of my head I could think of the "8 queens problem" (recursion and backtracking) and the "Dining Philosophers Problem" (deadlocks). This could avoid having rather short article on topics like "Hello World" (just redirect Hello World to the new article). --Markus Baumeister 18:56, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
We'd probably have to break up an article such as that. The WP article for the Dining Philosophers is enormous in and of itself. Perhaps if we had an article that contained examples of such standard problems but did not describe them to their fullest but referred them to full articles then we could come up with some reasonable method of organizing articles such as these. --Paul Derry 23:49, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
