In the section "Bounded Burnside problem" there is the following claim: "In the case of the odd exponent, all finite subgroups of the free Burnside groups were shown to be cyclic groups." Could someone provide a reference for that claim? In the book "The Burnside Problem and Identities in Groups" by
212:
A recent addition claims that the free Burnside group of rank 2 and exponent 5 has been proven infinite. The only reference is to an arxiv paper, 1105.0847v2, by Heikki Koivupalo and Kazuma Morita. Even setting aside whether such a reference would suffice, I find no paper in the arxiv with Koivupalo

I think we should move the "Brief history" section farther down the page, after the "Restricted Burnside problem" section. Right now the history section contains terminology that the reader may not know yet – for example, the exponent of a group is mentioned many times, but not defined until the

In 1964, Golod and Shafarevich constructed an infinite group of Burnside type without assuming that all elements have uniformly bounded order. In 1968, Pyotr Novikov and Sergei Adian's supplied a negative solution to the bounded exponent problem for all odd exponents larger than
716:) seems to be best available for even exponent (I could not find recent references with a better result). Unless somebody finds a reference with a better result the article should be changed to reflect this 204:
Defining M to be the intersection of all NORMAL subgroups of finite Index of B(m,n), makes things much easier. See "The Restricted Burnside Problem" by Michael Vaughan-Lee (available at google books)

Should the fact that this question has been solved go in the lead of the article? Currently the opening paragraph makes it seem like an open problem.

Adjan I could only find Theorem 3.3 (on page 261), which states that this is only true if we assume that the finite subgroup is also abelian.

Is there some compelling reason to obfuscate this encyclopedia entry by using the word "order" in one sentence and "exponent" in the next?

In either case, I hope someone knowledgeable on the subject will make this clearer. It certainly needs to be.
