What's missing?

I think this article is fairly complete. I'd like to flesh out the history section a bit and perhaps add one or two more examples of usage. Obviously, there is a lot more that *could* be said, notably about the complex branch structure; but that topic might be overkill for an "introductory" article. What do the rest of you think?

I was not previously familiar with the W function, but I read and enjoyed the article and didn't find a single error of grammar or anything else I could change. Looks excellent to me. Better than the Wikipedia article, at least in some ways: yours is easier to read and understand and has more text, and flows more smoothly, as good Citizendium articles are supposed to. Your graphs (here and at logarithm) are better than the Wikipedia ones. --Catherine Woodgold 21:05, 28 April 2007 (CDT)
Too few people are familiar with it. Consider this article a propaganda piece ;-) You say "at least in some ways"; in which ways is the Wikipedia article better? It mentions a few other formulas; is there anything else? (And thanks again for the praise.) Fredrik Johansson 21:10, 28 April 2007 (CDT)
