Suggest inline/block quoting the problem and algebraic solutions. (With citations, of course) --Michael Mol 17:34, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Meta error propagation

Here's the danger of everyone copying everyone else's code: how many of the examples can handle the following three circles? x=0, y=2, r=1; x=0, y=-2, r=1; x=4, y=0, r=1 --Ledrug 23:38, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

OK great. What do we do to fix it? --Mwn3d 01:46, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
Problems which are simple translations are usually indications that the translator is unfamiliar with the algorithm and/or the target language. Perhaps rewrites (or audits) should be preferred. Perhaps translations should show up on the unimpl pages as ENAs? --Michael Mol 02:20, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
