thread_title:  Greenie 

message: The explanation for why the ENIAC operators worked off of blueprints in this article is that the ENIAC project is classified. The explanation in Betty Holberton was that "they were viewed too incompetent to work with physical materials."
Both seem suspect to me -- obviously, they were competent to operate the ENIAC for years under production circumstances, and were demonstrably competent throughout their preceding careers, so I have to ask "viewed incompetent by whom?" But as for the other claim, I find it highly suspect that the ENIAC would be classified, but not its "blueprints". Were they at different classification levels? What classification? 
I changed the Holberton statement to match the Antonelli article, since this one is better developed and higher rated, but I think the blueprint story needs a reference in either case.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by NoDepositNoReturn (talk • contribs) 2008-06-15T23:45:19
:From memory, my understanding was that it was simply a matter of access to the room where the ENIAC was being built, which required security clearances.  I can imagine the "too incompetent" remark might also have some degree of validity, inasmuch as the programmers were not electrical engineers and may not have been qualified to work with the hardware prematurely if the machine was still in its shakedown phase. I'll put in some e-mails to see if anyone can clarify the matter. Robert K S (talk) 13:22, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not trying to change the article name, but it seem to me that we should be using McNultly for 90% of this.
* She was McNultly when she did all of her relevant work
* Yes, she was Mauchly for ~30 years after that 
* Then Antonelli for the 15 years until her death
I would expect and hope that there's some general policy/guidelines for this but haven't the energy currently to chase it up. Thoughts? - Snori (talk) 00:21, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment: I fully agree with this comment.  I note that the very first sentence of the article identifies her as "Kathleen "Kay" McNulty Mauchly Antonelli" As noted all her work was done under McNulty, she was 64 and long retired when she took the name Antonelli.  I don't know of any tradition/convention where the name of an intermediate spouse (Mauchly) is retained. Sadly, this seems another (inadvertent) example of hiding McNulty's accomplishments in the shadow of men.  Either the article should identify her as Kathleen McNulty or Kathleen McNulty Antonelli  173.3.10.180 (talk) 14:09, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

text: I fully agree. Especially when you consider that the article makes an explicit point that her own pioneering work was lost in the shadow of Mauchly. At a minimum her name should be hyphenated. To be honest the name Antonelli has the least bearing on her work. 69.112.184.37 (talk) 20:26, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: The article details how recognition of McNulty's work has suffered by being pushed into her husbands shadow.  Sadly this article continues the practice.  Her accomplishment were all done under the name McNulty, and to file her under her second husbands name, whom she married very late in life and was no longer active in the field is highly misleading. 69.112.184.37 (talk) 13:38, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
