Comment in the article history accompanying an edit from [[patricia tree]] to [[radix tree]]

(Terminology: "patricia trie" redirects to "radix tree". Therefore I consider the last term to be the preferred one.)

The edit might be appropriate, but the stated logic is dubious. The most appropriate textual display term should be chosen before interlinking is considered; redirects do not reliably indicate normative usage, rarely distinguish precise usage, and frequently derive from incumbency effects.

This edit should be reviewed for semantic validity. MaxEnt 00:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Important History

This is considered to be an important historical development in the field of algorithms, so I felt it was important to give a fuller account of the historical developments and major contributions. People coming to the article might know of this construction in association with any of the principle innovations, so mentioning each of them helps to contextualize the developments in terms of their prior reference point.
