The last sentence of the opening section is incorrect. edit

Latest comment: 17 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

It should simply be "The programming language Ada is named after her." and should be linked to this article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_(programming_language)

The 'Ada Lovelace' currently linked to in that sentence is actually a piece of hardware, a particular graphics procesing unit built by nVidia, which is completely different from a programming language.

You could split the current last sentence into two sentences, one linking to the programming language, and a second that links to the hardware. 74.76.179.46 (talk) 14:59, 18 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done Thanks for pointing that out! The GPU is covered in Commemoration. Schazjmd (talk) 15:11, 18 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Section merge edit

The sections I have added under 'Computing and STEMM' and 'Other' should be merged with Commemoration. I may do this in due course, but will not be offended if someone else does it (or starts it) first. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 19:28, 25 May 2024 (UTC).Reply
