Support The use of an implicit branch to the Orbea page from page:Asclepiadaceae should be fixed by renaming the page:orbea for clarity. Halcyon 18:02, 10 January 2006 (UTC)Willy Wonka[reply]

Oppose. The company name is simply Orbea, so naming the article Orbea Bicycles would be incorrect. Why not just create an article about the plant at Orbea (plant) or similar (are there any naming conventions for plants?). Then point the appropriate links there, and add an otheruses link to the top of this article. --Vclaw 14:36, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IMO a non chauvinistic approach would be beneficial, sort of neutral. But it's not my say. --Halcyon 03:30, 12 January 2006 (UTC)Willy Wonka[reply]

Orbea (Asclepiadaceae) Semi Resolution

The Asclepiadaceae page link has been changed to Orbea (Asclepiadaceae). Stylisticly it would still be better to have Orbea (bicycles), as it would be un-ambiguous to begin with, or encourage the shift/select through another screen. --Halcyon

Moved to Orbea (company) for neutrality's sake, I think a minor Basque company and a minor plant would deserve equal attention. Nightstallion 09:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The time line doesn't make sense

The Spanish Civil War started after 1930 about 1935.

So the company divesrsified before the War. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.116.122 (talk) 22:49, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Spanish Civil War started in July 1936 to be exact- I changed the line to say in the 1930sand remove the SCW reference until someone can get a more accurate date as to when it diversified.Rednotdead (talk) 20:48, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Frames made in Taiwan

The text is somewhat misleading (possibly dated) as some Orbea frames are not made in Spain. The 2009 Onix, for example, is manufactured in Taiwan and then (to my understanding) shipped as a bare carbon frame to Spain where it is finished, painted and assembled before being shipped to retailers. --Tweezak, 8/15/09 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tweezak (talk • contribs) 20:09, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
