  • @Yellow Dingo: I added sources to the first three of these paragraphs. The fourth (the one at the start of "Applications") is purely the lead to its section, and contains no claims that are not expanded in more detail with sources within the section. It doesn't need sources, any more than the lead to a whole article does. See DYK supplementary rule D2, and in particular the exception there for "paragraphs which summarize other cited content". —David Eppstein (talk) 04:26, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
  • with the additional sources, this is now GTG. — Yellow Dingo (talk) 04:28, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
