Talk:Sieve of Eratosthenes: Difference between revisions
→Trial division sieves should be moved from here
Line 203:
::::WillNess: First of all, I haven't read the Scala entries in depth, mostly looked at the decriptions -- and there is still one left behind that starts with "As per the "unfaithful sieve" article linked above", and another that talks about being much better than the unfaithful version which is no longer there. So at least these descriptions should be fixed.
::::Second, IMO moving those things into some subsections of "Primality by trial division" is a huge mistake, since it has way more in common with the SoE than the latter. Like I said in my talk page when this was discussed, I think that if these things are moved, then they should all move consistently (which looks like you're trying to do) and they should move to their own page. Making these things be such subsections demotes them to look like side-comments, which is a disservice to something that is somewhat popular in programming courses as a demonstration of infinite list implementations, (I know of at least three other place in addition to my own course), and like you say, it is *a* sieve. --[[User:Elibarzilay|Elibarzilay]] ([[User talk:Elibarzilay|talk]]) 18:19, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
