Review

Well-written:

Criteria	Notes	Result
(a) (prose)	This article does not appear to be plagiarized. However, this article does appear to be a duplicate of it.	Pass

Verifiable with no original research:

Criteria	Notes	Result
(a) (references)	References are in compliance with the MoS. However, up to 3 of them are dead links and should be removed or fixed. Therefore, this is being put on hold. Many are also missing an access date which should be added. As these issues have not been fixed failing.	Fail
(b) (citations to reliable sources)	Some of the sources in this article seem questionable including Digital Marketing Ramblings Google (due to the fact that he works there) americarichest.com (due to the fact that it is now just an advertisement) News From Google (due to the fact that it is run by Google) Official Google Blog (due to the fact that it is run by Google) softpedia cawarchitects.com (possibly primary source) insidephilanthropy.squarespace.com. Therefore, I am putting this article on hold. As these issues have not been fixed failing. \|\| Fail

Additional notes

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.

"To convert the backlink data gathered by BackRub's web crawler into a measure of importance for a given web page, Brin and Page developed the PageRank algorithm, and realized that it could be used to build a search engine far superior to existing ones"

google was famous for (first) allowing companies to UNDO data hit algorithms and appear in searches where THEY SHOULD NOT be

search algorithms were taught at stanford and have been around a long time - and (ie, AltaVista) did high speed web searching before Google began, and database search algorithms have been in use before google even went to high school — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.209.223.190 (talk) 14:38, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
