to do.....[edit]

I found this article beginning by saying:

Baker's technique was created in 1994 by Brenda Baker.

That is clearly an inappropriate way to start a Wikipedia article, since it doesn't even attempt to tell the reader whether this is about chemistry, theatrics, methods of teaching foreign languages, global positioning systems, psychoanalysis, diplomacy, library science, theology, card shuffling, gymnastics, journalism, printing, sailing, money laundering, stock market analysis, paving roads, etc. After reading that, one is left with all of those as possibilities.

I fixed that, at least partially.

Problems remain. One of those is that no other articles link to this article. Michael Hardy (talk) 05:54, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unhelpful example[edit]

The example seem to be badly copy-pasted from https://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~glencora/wiki/index.php?n=Main.BakersTechniqueDesigningApproximationSchemesForPlanarGraphs . However, unlike the original page, the notation is not introduced, and no explanation is given. There is also no indentation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agravier (talk • contribs) 14:44, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
