Article Need Quality Comments Updated  ?
Discrete mathematics Top Start Needs better overview of major areas, plus history/motivation Tompw Y
Graph theory Top B Detail on "Data structures" section doesn't really belong in article; "Problems in graph theory" needs more prose to accompany list items. Also needs more diagrams Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Combinatorics High
Cryptography High
Edge coloring High Start Needs less technical introduction; plus material on motivation and applications. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Hypergraph High Start Needs material on history, motivation, applications, current state of research, and relations with graphs and graph theory. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Algebraic graph theory High Start Little more than a stub - needs material on history, motivation, applications, major theorems, major contributors, current state of research. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Graph coloring High B references, plus more on history / applications. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Petersen graph High B Lists need more prose to accompany them. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Pigeonhole principle High B Introduction needs a gentler introduction before formal statement. Section on infinite sets neds expansion. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Ramsey's theorem High B+ Consider nominating for Good Article status Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Graph (mathematics) High B Needs more on motivation and applications Tompw (talk) 17:20, 3 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Game theory High Featured article FA . Tompw 14:51, 20 November 2006 (UTC) Y
Theory of computation Mid
Information theory Mid
Null graph Mid Stub . Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Minor (graph theory) Mid Start A diagram showing the process of edge conraction that leads from eth first graph to the second would be useful. General expansion needed, especially applications. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Triangle-free graph Mid Start Needs diagrams, history, motivation, applications. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Turán's theorem Mid Start Needs diagram of Turán graph, plus material on motivation and applications. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Complete graph Mid B Needs references and applications. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Five color theorem Mid B Really needs diagrams; needs a less technical overview Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Matching Mid B Needs material on motivation and applications; really needs diagrams; a lot of the prose feels like a list without the bullet points Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Robertson–Seymour theorem Mid B Intro really needs to be less technical. Needs material on motivation and applications Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Turán graph Mid B Some explanation of technical terms (e.g. cograph) needed. Potential Good Artocle material. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Erdős–Szekeres theorem Mid B+ May need more reference. Also consider nominatin for Good Article status Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Discrete geometry Low
Theoretical computer science Low
Computability theory Low
Complexity theory Low
Discharging Method (discrete mathematics) Low B Needs diagrams Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Grötzsch graph Low B Generally sound. Prose needs some copyediting to improve readability, references need formatting using <ref> tags. Then consider nominating for Good Article status. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Heawood graph Low B would benefit from more explantion to accompany technical language. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Szekeres snark Low B Barely more than a stub. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Happy Ending problem Low B+ Format references using <ref> tags, then consider nominating for Good Article status Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Helly family Low Start Needs more on motivation and applications. Real line example would benefit from diagram Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
Tutte–Coxeter graph Low Start References need to be formatted using <ref> tags; needs material on motivation and applications. Tompw (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Y
