L-BFGS-B page
Hi Professor Morales, I saw that you were actively working on the L-BFGS-B page, which is great. However, it is currently just linking to other webpages and not describing the algorithm. Especially since you are involved in the L-BFGS-B implementation, I think it is important to try to conform to wikipedia's guidelines (e.g. Wikipedia is not a collection of links). A similar issue happened at the L-BFGS page, where you can see on that "talk" page Talk:Limited-memory_BFGS that people were unanimously upset by Professor Nocedal's edits on the page.

I've edited the L-BFGS-B page slightly to improve the formatting and references, but I haven't yet restructured it to conform to what I think is the wikipedia style (that is, I think the page should be devoted to describing a brief summary of the algorithm, then provide references for those who want to know more, and at the bottom, has a list of good implementations). I thought that I would write to you and let you know my opinion, so that we can come to an agreement before any major editing happens. --Stephen (aka Lavaka (talk) 16:08, 1 December 2011 (UTC) )
