3 corrections applied: Facebook's News Feed ranking algorithm was called EdgeRank, not NewsRank. | Microsoft Research defect-prediction work is by Nachiappan Nagappan; Meiyappan ('Mei') Nagappan was not at Microsoft Research. | Eich built the original JavaScript (Mocha) prototype in about ten days in May 1995, not September 1995.
Before(1) NewsRank algorithm development (2) Mei Nagappan at Microsoft Research (2013) (3) September 1995, Brendan Eich created JavaScript in ten days.
After(1) EdgeRank algorithm development (2) Nachiappan Nagappan at Microsoft Research (2013) (3) In May 1995, Brendan Eich created JavaScript in ten days.
Why: Verified live: body text already reads 'Facebook's EdgeRank algorithm development', 'Nachiappan Nagappan at Microsoft Research (2013)', and 'In May 1995, Brendan Eich created JavaScript in ten days'. FAQ field decoded and checked, no reference to any of the three fabrications. No further action needed.
