Line 89: I replaced "Ada was named after Ada, Lady Lovelace, the first computer programmer" with "Ada was named after Ada, Lady Lovelace", because the statement that she was a computer programmer directly contradicts the linked Wikipedia article (as well as other sources). My edit was reverted by UtherSRG with no explanation. I'm not trying to denigrate Ada Lovelace or the Ada language; I'm just trying to correct a factual error in a Wikipedia article. There is no historical evidence to support the common belief that she wrote programs for the Analytical Engine. -- [[User:BenRG\|BenRG]] 00:23, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC) :Sorry Ben. I get a bit overzealous guarding some articles from anonymous editors. You are right, the article on [[Ada Lovelace]] indeed points out that she probably didn't do any programming. Take a look again at the sentence in quesiton. - [[User:UtherSRG\|UtherSRG]] 14:00, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
