Question regarding your revert of my edit

What exactly did you mean by "The artist link gets you there. The Ohio link does not provide access to either the artist or works" here? I reverted the edit (assuming good faith) since WikiLinking to Ohio University is a good idea as they are not linked to/mentioned previously within the article. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 07:00, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Melograph

Hi, I've added back and expanded the Melograph entry to punched cards. If you read the thesis it clearly describes using punched cards inspired by Jacquard looms, and mentions that later developments changed to paper rolls. Assuming that "graph" only imples wrinting in the sense of marks on paper is a modernism that you can't apply to C19 terminology. Consider the telegraph which does not necessarily may any marks for example. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 12:24, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Jacquard loom

Hi,

Thanks for your edits, but the last one you made I've had to revert. Paper tape may look superficially similar to Jacquard cards, but differs in two important respects: 1) Paper tape is made of paper, Jacquard cards are made of stiff card. 2) Paper tape presents one character at a time in a continuous stream. Each Jacquard card is a complete setting for a single row and is read in its entirety. Put another way, each record on a paper tape is one dimensional, whereas for cards it is a two dimensional array.

Your recent editing history at Punched card shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
