Please remove "greedy algorithm" from the keywords and put it to the "Defines" box.

A greedy algorithm is a one which make a locally optimal choice at each step. It may not find the global optimum. The article does not define what a greedy algorithm is, but rather defines an algorithm which happens to be a greedy algorithm. So i therefore agree with the original author that it belongs in the keywords section and not the definitions section.
