Talk:Chevrolet Volt

message: This statement relating to the concept vehicle is incorrect:
"The Chevrolet Volt concept car debuted at the January 2007 North American International Auto Show, becoming the first-ever series plug-in hybrid concept car shown by a major car manufacturer."
it should read
"The Chevrolet Volt concept car debuted at the January 2007 North American International Auto Show, becoming the first-ever series plug-in hybrid concept car shown by a major American car manufacturer 7 years after the first ever series plug-in hybrid (the aXcessAustralia) concept was shown in Melbourne by Holden, a subsidiary of GM.""
CSIRO (the national lab that helped develop the car), Holden and the 102 domestic automotive suppliers who came together to build aXcessAustralia are all now facing a very uncertain future as every major automaker ceases production of cars in Australia. Kicking these organizations when they are down is really not a good look for Wikipedia.

message: "limiting the state of charge (SOC) up to 80% of capacity and never depleting the battery below 30%." is incorrect for the 1st generation Volt. The systems definitely allow the traction battery State Of Charge to go down to around 20% (335V) before the generator turns on. The absolute bottom is 16% before propulsion shuts down. The top is slightly higher than 80% (385V). I don't know how the sources got it wrong, but they have.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.193.254.87 (talk) 00:41, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: GM materials indicate the fully charged state of the Gen1 pack was to represent 85% SOC and after charge depletion mode (CD) the switch to charge sustaining mode (CS) initially occurs at 22% SCO. I know this article reflected those values at one time. Will take some digging to find when it was changed. WopOnTour (talk) 01:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

message: Newt Gingrich accused the car of being unable to have a gun rack. In case anyone wants to cite Newt Gingrich, note that author Mark Binelli wrote "Newt Gingrich being Newt Gingrich, this claim proved false, though the Venn diagram of Volt and gun rack owners probably offers up a slim overlap."

Talk:Célestin Lainé

message: "The neutrality of this article is disputed" but here appears to be no discussion.
On reading the article, my first reaction was surprise that the issue of "collaboration" was described as though it was a mere political difference of opinion, when in fact the Bezen Perrot, as a unit of the SS Sicherheitsdienst, participated directly in arrest, interrogation and summary execution of suspects. These were war crimes as serious as any committed by the SS in occupied countries.
I refer interested parties to the historical books of the Breton academic Kristian Hamon for further detail, for example: Le Bezen Perrot : 1944, des nationalistes bretons sous l'uniforme allemand, Yoran Embanner, 2004, ()

thread_title: Descriptions

message: The first felt skirt was made in 1950 by Roy Maples who worked in the Hollywood motion picture studios in special effects.  His wife, Babette, had been making felt appliques for sewing on hand knitted two piece outfits. The first skirt was designed for Betty Grable and had cartoon-like race horses appliquéd around it.  After making several hand made skirts for the movie stars, they sold skirts through Sacs Fifth Avenue in New York and for Neiman Marcus in Dallas. All were hand made and the appliques were embellished with rhinestones and sequins which were hand sewn on quilting frames by Swiss seamstresses in the Maple's living room.  The skirts were a full circle and 2 colored, with the second color forming a scalloped hem.  Appliques were around the entire circle. The waist bands were finished inside with heavy weight grosgrain ribbon.  Within two years, simpler versions were made by garment manufacturers that used machines to stamp out the felt and the market was flooded with lighter weight felt versions usually with single appliques such a poodle.PamelaGale (talk) 16:07, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Richard Lander

message: I've again reverted Lemon Lander's nationality back to Cornish.  Just because Cornwall is now within England does not automatically mean that every historical Cornish figure can be rebranded English - nationality is far more complicated that the location in which a person was born and more about a persons identity (The Duke of Wellington was born in Dublin, but is on record as regarding himself as English).  Cornwall is not simple just another county and even today Cornish is a government recognised minority nationality within the UK, so it is perfectly reasonable to describe Lemon Lander as Cornish.  It is also reasonable to change this to British, which would provide more information, but I feel that, especially considering the nature of these persistent anonomous single use edits, that this relabelling as English is an effort to undermine the Cornish nationality, rather than clarification and thus pov    (Oh and by the way, rotating your IP address every time you make one of these pov motivated edits is not fooling anyone into thinking that this is a group of many editors with the same opinions - anyone with an ounce of computer knowledge can trace these edits back to the same server box line).  If a reference can be found where Lemon Lander refers to himself as English rather than British or Cornish then I would be happy to change it, but I somehow doubt that he ever thought of himself that way.
