 * The backtracking algorithm will act as a generator when run on an empty board. The Perl code is still available somewhere in the history of the page. -Zahlentheorie (talk) 21:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * The article is about solving, not generating Sudoku's. That would be off-topic. &mdash; MFH:Talk 13:18, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

@MrOllie My revision is valid and cites reliable sources
The wiki is created by Andrew Stuart, a published author in Sudokus. And the video by Simon Anthony, former UK team member World Sudoku championships. They are very reliable and verifiable sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PedroContipelli (talk • contribs) 20:16, 3 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Outside of very limited exceptions which do not apply here, we don't use self published sources on Wikipedia. See WP:RS for details. MrOllie (talk) 20:26, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
