Shouldn't that be "dystopian" and not "dystopic"? Somehow "dystopic" doesn't sound right. Revolución 00:41, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: The card used for the 1887 punched card patent illustration is incorrect. The patent itself doesn't seem to specify the number of columns, but the cards first in use based upon that patent had 22 columns, and used round holes, rather than the 80 column rectangular hole cards shown in the illustration. The card illustrated is one which was common from the mid 1920's onward. It seems that people might well infer that the particular card illustrated was the one in use in 1887, which is incorrect. No illustration would probably be better. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.62.103.226 (talk • contribs) 05:42, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia's English  Main page has the wrong date for the Falklands War battle known as Bluff Cove.  The year is completely wrong. In the "On this day..." section, it states that the battle took place in 1959.  The Falklands War took place 23 years later, in 1982.  Please correct it.

message: Hi , For tomorrow we have 1887 – German-American statistician... There seems to be an error in the Punched card target article. The only mention of June 8 is for 1889 (not 1887). Then, also "The card shown in U.S. Patent 395,781 of June 8 was printed" but that has the wrong month. The ref says patent date was January (not June) 8, 1889. The other blue link Herman Hollerith article and its different ref have the correct date ie January 8, 1889 and no mention of anything in a June. The relevant patent refs are 395781, 395781, 395781 and 395782. All are dated January 8, 1889. I see the note on the staging page about Hollerith also appearing on January 8 - I think it's actually the same punch card patent? I hope I haven't got wrong end of stick. Thanks for taking a look.
