[edit] Merge

Game tree seems to be about extensive form games, except it primarily deals with computer science problems. I think it would be best to merge that content here. Barring that, I think that Game tree should be moved to a different name, and cross links should be included here. What do folks think? --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 00:00, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Pete.Hurd 00:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Now leaning towards not merging, but making game tree more explicitly CompSsi rather than Game theory. The backwards induction solution section in game tree seems to indicate that empty threats and information sets just aren't an issue in solving game trees. If that's the case then I don't think merging is in order. Pete.Hurd 14:42, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Uhh, how long has this merge request been pending? I ask because this article has been sitting on hold on the GA nom page for a long, long time.... Homestarmy 19:36, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I think there is no consensus for merging the two articles. I have removed the tag. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 19:40, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] failed GA - reasons

The article itself is interesting, my reasons for failing this article are purely formating and referencing.

• • The lead needs to edited to WP:Lead format with the list moved into the article suggest an introduction section to cover the basic theory.
  • References need to follow WP:Cite, include ISBN numbers for books
  • The formula had originating Author(s) this need to be Cited
