Howto tag[edit]

This doesn't seem like a how-to article at all to me. What I do see is it using an example as a means to help convey the purpose of the tool -- nothing wrong that that either IMO. However, I think the article does need a better explanation of what Sparse is in terms that are more understandable for the average person with perhaps only a moderate technical knowledge. This can then be followed by a more detailed explanation of how it works (which is what the Example section appears to do). I'm not sure which tag you use for that, but I vote remove the HowTo tag and replace it with another that states this need. Daniel Santos (talk) 23:48, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
