Bamileke people

The Bamiléké are a group of 90 closely related peoples who inhabit the Western High Plateau of Cameroon. According to Dr John Feyou de Hapy, Bamiléké means people of faith.

Languages
The Bamileke languages are Grassfields languages that belong to the Southern Bantoid branch of the Niger-Congo language family.

History

Most Bamiléké historical narratives detail an origin along the Nile River in what is now Sudan. A survey examining the methods and instruments of communication among the Bamileke show a common origin with populations along the Nile.

Oral tradition collected by Alexis Maxime Feyou de Happy and his son, Joseph, suggested that the arrival of the Bamiléké in Western Cameroon occurred in multiple waves with two primary routes. The first route originated in the North between the Lake Tchad area and the Nile Valley. The second route originated in Nigeria around the Cross River area. Anthropologists G. Spedini and C. Bailly theorized that the Bamileke descend from the Ndobo, "Sudanic savanna dwellers who migrated into Western Cameroon from the north."

According to some Bamiléké oral traditions, they are descendants of a Mbum princess named Wouten (also called Betaka) who helped establish the Tikar fondom sometime in the 13th century after being expelled from Ngan Ha, the capital of Mbum following a succession dispute. The Mbum who migrated to their current location from Northern Cameroon are the ancestors of all Grassfields people and now reside in the Adamawa province of Cameroon.

In the 17th century, the Bamiléké migrated further south and west under the pressure of the Chamba and Fulani people. When Cameroon was colonized, the British granted status and a certain amount of control to traditional authorities, such as the Fon. This was due to a colonial policy known as indirect rule. On the other hand, the Germans and French looked at Fons with contempt and were often suspicious of them.

According to research compiled in The Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon, the "Bamiléké have a reputation of being excellent farmers and businessmen and -women. While they have become a significant factor in the national economy, their success has also generated some jealousy and resentment, especially among the original inhabitants of areas to which Bamiléké migration has occurred."

A number of Black people across the Americas, such as Erykah Badu and Jessica Williams, have traced their lineage back to the Bamiléké people through genetic testing.

Genetics
In one genetic study, Bamileke-related genetic variations were found throughout Central, Southern and East Africa. The researchers caution the assumption that the Bamileke are the source of the Bantu migration because the genetic variations in the region could have been very different 4000 years ago.

The study found that the genetic structure of populations in Cameroon are not completely defined by language groups. The Yemba who are Grassfields people clustered closely to Northern Bantoid speakers. The Mbo who speak a Narrow Bantu language clustered closely with Grassfields speakers. Some of the Bamileke who speak Grassfields languages clustered closely with Narrow Bantu speakers. Within Northern and Grassfields groups, fine structured analysis distinguished populations living less than 20 km from each other. The study also found that the Shum Laka population cluster closer to Central African rainforest hunter gatherers than they do to Grassfields populations, and components from Northeast, Northwest, Eastern, Western and Central Africa that contributed to the genomes of Grassfields groups.

Political structure and agriculture
Bamiléké settlements follow a well-organized and structured pattern. Houses of family members are often grouped together and surrounded by small fields. Men typically clear the fields, but it is largely women who work them. Most work is done with tools such as machetes and hoes. Staple crops include cocoyams, groundnuts and maize.

Bamiléké settlements are organized as chiefdoms. The chief, or fon or fong is considered as the spiritual, political, judicial and military leader. The chief is also considered as the 'father' of the chiefdom. He thus has great respect from the population. The successor of the 'father' is chosen among his children. The successor's identity is typically kept secret until the fon's death.

The fon typically has 9 ministers and several other advisers and councils. The ministers are in charge of the crowning of the new fon. The council of ministers, also known as the Council of Notables, is called Kamveu. In addition, a "queen mother" or mafo was an important figure for some fons in the past. Below the fon and his advisers lie a number of ward heads, each responsible for a particular portion of the village. Some Bamileke groups also recognize sub-chiefs, or fonte.

Economic activities
Traditional homes are constructed by first erecting a raffia-pole frame into four square walls. Builders then stuff the resulting holes with grass and cover the whole building with mud. The thatched roof is typically shaped into a tall cone. In the present day, however, this type of construction is mostly reserved for barns, storage buildings, and gathering places for various traditional secret societies. Instead, modern Bamileke homes are made of bricks of either sun-dried mud or of concrete. Roofs are usually made of metal sheeting.

Religious beliefs
During the colonial period, parts of the Bamileke region adopted Christianity, though some of them practice Islam. Today, the dominant form of worship is still ancestral with most Bamileke practicing Veneration of the dead. Death is always met with mystery, and the family is required to turn the body over to an examiner to determine the cause of death. After this is completed, the family must gather at the home. Each member must step up to the totem and swear that they were not involved in the death of the loved one. It is believed that if someone in the room really is the murderer, the totem will trap their spirit forever. To satisfy the Ancestors, the person believed to be a murderer must perform a special ritual that consists of the pouring out of libation during the burial ceremony. The family will then gather the wet earth and shape it into a circle. This is seen as a metaphorical skull of the deceased, blessed by libation.

The Bamileke also believe that the Ancestor's spirit still remains within the actual skulls of the Ancestors as well, so they keep possession of them. The oldest male in the family keeps the skulls of both male and female ancestors in a dwelling that the family built and a diviner has blessed. In the event that a skull is not well preserved, a special ritual must be performed that consists of the pouring out of libation.

The Bamileke are known for elaborate elephant masks used in dance ceremonies or funerals to show the importance of the deceased person. During the homegoing celebration of King Njoya's mother in 1913, elephant masks were worn by those in attendance.

Royal tradition and the arts
Masquerades are an integral part of Bamileke culture and expression. Colorful, beaded masks are donned at special events such as funerals, important palace festivals and other royal ceremonies. The masks are performed by men and aim to support and enforce royal authority.

The power of a Bamileke king, called a Fon, is often represented by the elephant, buffalo, and leopard. Oral traditions proclaim that the Fon may transform into either an elephant or leopard whenever he chooses. An elephant mask, called a mbap mteng, has protruding circular ears, a human-like face, and decorative panels on the front and back that hang down to the knees and are covered overall in beautiful geometric beadwork, including triangular imagery. Isosceles triangles are prevalent, as they are the known symbol of the leopard. Beadwork, shells, bronze, and other precious embellishments on masks elevate the mask's status. On occasion, a Fon may permit members of the community to perform in an elephant mask along with a leopard skin, indicating a statement of wealth, status, and power being associated with this masquerade.

Buffalo masks are also very popular and present at most functions throughout Grassland societies, including the Bamileke. They represent power, strength and bravery, and may also be associated with the Fon.

Beadwork
Beadwork is an essential element of Bamileke art and distinguishes it from other regions of Africa. It is an art form that is highly personal in that no two pieces are alike and are often used in dazzling colors that catch the eye. They may be an indication of status based on what kinds of beads are used. Beadwork utilized all over on wooden sculptures is a technique that is unique only to the Cameroon grasslands.

Before they were colonized, popular beads were obtained from Sub-Saharan countries like Nigeria and were made of shells, nuts, wood, seeds, ceramic, ivory, animal bone, and metal. Colonization and trade routes with other countries in Europe and the Middle East introduced brightly colored glass beads as well as pearls, coral and rare stones like emeralds. These came at a price, however. There were often agreements with these other countries to exchange these precious luxury commodities for slaves, gold, oil, ivory and some types of fine woods.

Sculpture & Pottery
An analysis of Bamileke sculpture found that artists do not produce but create. For the Bamileke statues reliefs and paintings represent life forces that safeguard intangible attributes of death that allow them to live eternally. For the Bamileke sculptors are intermediaries who are charged with realizing God's vision through the depiction of symbols and signs. Another study performed by Djoukwo and Wang found that pottery creation among the Bamiléké is used as a form of art therapy.

Succession and kinship patterns
The Bamileke trace their ancestry, inheritance and succession through the male line, and children belong to the fondom of their father. After a man's death, all of his possessions typically go to a single, male heir. Polygamy (more specifically, polygyny) is practiced, and some important individuals may have literally hundreds of wives. Marriages typically involve a bride price to be paid to the bride's family.

It is argued that the Bamileke inheritance customs contributed to their success in the modern world:

"Succession and inheritance rules are determined by the principle of patrilineal descent. According to custom, the eldest son is the probable heir, but a father may choose any one of his sons to succeed him. An heir takes his dead father's name and inherits any titles held by the latter, including the right to membership in any societies to which he belonged. And, until the mid-1960s, when the law governing polygamy was changed, the heir also inherited his father's wives--a considerable economic responsibility. The rights in land held by the deceased were conferred upon the heir subject to the approval of the chief, and, in the event of financial inheritance, the heir was not obliged to share this with other family members. The ramifications of this are significant. First, dispossessed family members were not automatically entitled to live off the wealth of the heir. Siblings who did not share in the inheritance were, therefore, strongly encouraged to make it on their own through individual initiative and by assuming responsibility for earning their livelihood. Second, this practice of individual responsibility in contrast to a system of strong family obligations prevented a drain on individual financial resources. Rather than spend all of the inheritance maintaining unproductive family members, the heir could, in the contemporary period, utilize his resources in more financially productive ways such as for savings and investment. [...] Finally, the system of inheritance, along with the large-scale migration resulting from population density and land pressures, is one of the internal incentives that accounts for Bamileke success in the nontraditional world".

Donald L. Horowitz also attributes the economic success of the Bamileke to their inheritance customs, arguing that it encouraged younger sons to seek their own living abroad. He wrote in Ethnic groups in conflict: "Primogeniture among the Bamileke and matrilineal inheritance among the Minangkabau of Indonesia have contributed powerfully to the propensity of males from both groups to migrate out of their home region in search of opportunity".

Talk:Chevrolet Aveo (T200)

Daewoo Kalos
On the WikiProject Automobiles page, there appears to be a consensus that the country of origin's convention be adopted. I vote to have this entry moved to -Daewoo Kalos, which is the vehicle's name in Korea, and the facts aligned to that of the Korean market. This convention is adopted for all other automotive entries to date at Wikipedia, apart from a few exceptions that editors have not got to yet. Stombs 12:30, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

 * Unless there are sufficient differences between the Kalos and the Aveo to warrant two pages, I second the motion. --SFoskett 13:09, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

 * If you think this page should be moved, first list it at WP:RM to start a proper voting procedure, then provide a correct voting and discussion template on this talk page, as suggested by Requested moves. --DmitryKo 14:54, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Note: This naming convention/move discussion has been centralized at the Automobile WikiProject. Dragons flight 02:30, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * Shouldn't the article name be changed to 'Daewoo Gentra' if we are going by the name in the country of origin? This vehicle is no longer called the Daewoo Kalos in Korea, see . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mortonar (talk • contribs) 22:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

pronounciation?
Anyone have any information on the pronounciation of the word "aveo"? I've heard both "ah - vee - oh" and "ah - vay - oh". Hosterweis (talk) (contribs) 21:12, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Moved
Page moved to the Daewoo version and double redirects fixed as per requested move. Ryan Norton T 07:36, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Chevrolet Aveo is now a disambig
How great is this? :mad: --DmitryKo 23:48, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Because the Aveo doesn't have its own page, it is mentioned on the pages of the Daewoos its based on. Since they are two different vehicles, they are on seperate pages.  The disambig exists to direct people to the page they are looking for.  Bok269 20:33, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I think Aveo should have its own page. -Paul- 21:41, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree - at this point, the article jumps back and forth, describing markets and models in a way that would be confusing to a reader interested in a particular model/country. Granted, all these models vary from each other by a few cc's and millimeters :) but for a reader researching their model of interest, I think they'd prefer to have distinct model pages. --Bikeduckquack (talk) 02:06, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Pontiac Version in Mexico
I remember there being a version of the Kalos sold in Mexico, possibly called the G2. When I went to the Pontiac of Mexico website, it showed a Matiz-based (not Kalos based) car under that name. Can anyone confirm that there was a model as I describe sold there, and I'll add it? Bok269 21:09, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Pontiac G3 -> http://www.g3.com.mx/ Bravada, talk - 21:14, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Poor performance in crash tests
I've noticed recently on the EuroNCAP website that the Aveo received 2 stars for the Adult Occupant Rating, with one of the stars "flagged" to note a particular danger in some aspect - this is quite alarmingly bad for such a modern car. I think this should be noted in the article somewhere, but I'm not sure where to put it and I have to go for lunch now! --Zilog Jones 12:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that was a massive blow to its image, it completely massacred TK Barina sales in Australia... When the story surfaced, I didn't have time to put it there, and then I forgot - if you could please, I would be grateful! Bravada, talk - 13:38, 10 July 2006

 * It has done very well on the US government crash tests, getting 4 or5 out of 5 in all categories. Lack Thereof 17:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Which model is this in Europe http://www.euroncap.com/carsearch.aspx?make=260db6d4-0b9e-49e4-aeb9-ddaceac2fb5a kalos or aveo...or both, then we need add the other results also to the page--— Typ932T  09:36, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

 * The article now lists three test results for the Kalos: Europe, North America and Austalasia, and address the difference in crash test results: it's clear the tests are different and the vehicles are differently equipped (e.g., the Barina was tested with out side airbags). There may be other differences. 842U (talk) 12:05, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

 * The US test was full frontal, whereas the EU test was offset, hence the obviously large difference in results Joescotchman (talk) 20:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Care to cite a source for this? 842U (talk) 17:46, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Just added the abysmal 2 stars EuroNCAP rating for the T250. I can not understand why no one added this basic piece of information before. Any thoughts???. Randroide (talk) 12:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Merge request
The Aveo, Gentra, and Kalos are all the same vehicle, and there is no unique information in any of the articles, and Kalos is the home-market name. IFCAR 03:02, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * But the Aveo name is much more widely known in the English speaking world, and that takes priority on the English Wikipedia. - 66.93.200.116 01:41, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia policy is to use the home-market name. Aveo would be a redirect. IFCAR 13:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Seeing as the Aveo is a re badged Kalos it would be much more prudent to merge Aveo in to Kalos

 * One question: how similar are the T200 and T250? If they are different enough, there could be one article for each generation. Now, if the T250 is only a major facelift, the three pages should be mergerd into one. -- NaBUru38 19:15, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

 * They were one page and were doing pretty fine before Bull-Doser administered his self-appointed split to stuff in more of his pics. The Gentra is nothing more but the name for a facelifted sedan version, it isn't any more "different" than the pre- and post-facelift second-gen Seat Ibiza/Cordoba. PrinceGloria 11:10, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The merge makes sense to me. 2 articles on the same car isn't necessary, Aveo should redirect.  Lack Thereof 17:48, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Respectfully disagree - for current or prospective owners researching a particular model, available in a particular country, the merged article presents challenges. As an article on the platform it works well, but as a reference for the make/models, the wealth of information here can be quite confusing. --Bikeduckquack (talk) 02:11, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

EDIT by Wave owner
Would be nice of you to put back the picture of the Wave (and perhaps add a picture of a Gentra, which you can easily find online). If you can't find it, I happen to own a Wave that is equipped just as the one shown in the Gentra entry.

new engines
Aveo 09 brings:

- Kalos disappears, will now be called Aveo as it is in numerous countries. - Updated platform (Not T250, I think the whole controversy relating the T250's crash test is responsible for that). - New, Opel derived engine selection, North America will receive the 98 hp (1.4L) variant, which is way more efficient than the current dated Daewoo E-TEC II line (103 hp : 1.6L). - Better sound dampening (something they do every year, I swear the T400 series is a test platform :V). - Sedan interior ported to the updated hatch. - Hatch receives a new face and rear, completely different from the sedan's. However, it keeps the side panels the current iteration (08) has.

Model goes on sale this winter... In January, I believe.

I'm hoping they'll be giving it a 5-speed GM transmission as soon as possible, they're currently making the transition from 4 to 6 on several models, see Malibu 08 for details.

It has yet to be confirmed whether it will be rebadged as a Pontiac (Canada and Mexico) or Daewoo (South Korea), but I can hardly imagine what it would look like with either brand's facia-style (butterfly grille is somewhat doable, but would have to borrow several cues from the Vibe 09... But the Daewoo grille, man... That would look awful.) The old engine used in North America was also an 'Opel derived' engine, not a daewoo engine. It was a GM family II engine. The Ecotec engine (Family I) is an updated version of the family II engines. The new engine is still a 1.6 as well. It produces 106hp and 105lb/ft of torque, it is more fuel efficient than the out going engine.--Mortonar (talk) 03:26, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Tata Indica
Tata Indica - Iv noticed the Tata Indica is mentioned in the "also called" section. The Tata Indica isnt a rebadged Chevrolet Aveo

Failed "good article" nomination
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of January 27, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

 * 1. Well written?: Fail
 * 2. Factually accurate?: Pass
 * 3. Broad in coverage?: Fail
 * 4. Neutral point of view?: Fail
 * 5. Article stability? Fail
 * 6. Images?: Pass

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far. — OSX (talk • contributions) 06:43, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I understand someone who's contributed to the article nominating it, but OSX, by contributing heavily to the article, doesn't that disqualify you from assessing the article? I'll see if I can get someone else to also review the article.

 * Please cite instances where the writing could be better, the coverage broader, the point of view more neutral. The article definitely isn't stable.

 * On: NPOV:
 * The article cites the "stop delivery order."
 * The article lists under awards that the Aveo placed 8th and 12th in their Least Satisfied survey.
 * The article discusses the poor safety performance of the vehicle and links to the Holden Barina article where there is a more robust discussion.
 * There are from what I can tell no peacock terms in the entire article.

 * Help me understand how the article could better reflect an NPOV.

 * I look forward to your collaboration in improving the article. Thanks

 * 842U (talk) 14:27, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

 * To be honest I haven't actually heavily contributed to the article, I made one substantial edit here and another minor here. The rest were to do with repairing these edits which were later reverted. For the writing quality there are several instances. A fair amount of the content under "History of Development" is presented as bullet points when it should be in prose, a complete list of features under "US model year changes" should be reconsidered. For broader coverage, the article has extensive information of the T200 model, but little on the T250. I would also like to see more information of the powertrains. Like what are the transmissions used? I know that they are a four-speed automatic and a five-speed manual respectively, but which transmissions exactly. Likewise there is no mention of the engine output figures, which should be presented in a table under the "Engines" section. I also have a few concerns with NPOV, but they are nothing major. There seems to be no mention of the car's mixed fuel consumption figures in comparison to its performance, which is reportedly average . A few concerns have also arrisen over reliability.

 * Also, may I add do we really need information about U.S. marketing? If so, we better get a marking section for every region that the car is sold in. My other objections have to do with the numerous MoS issues which would be tedious to list, and the references. All but three citations only include the URL and title, but the author, publication date, publisher and accessdate also should be included if available.

 * I will be happy to help progress this article further, but cannot do so if my edits are going to be undermined. After all, I have already progressed four car-related articles to GA status, along with another to FA status. I hope that my initial failing is not perceived to be an attack against the other editors of this article, but rather as a good faith decision. OSX (talk • contributions) 22:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

 * OSX, great. Thanks for taking the time to open a discussion. This is very helpful.

 * I'm relatively new here, but as you can see, I've contributed a lot to the article, and just recently learned the articles could be reviewed. I've since checked out your pages and some of your contributions -- I see you've made a lot of very positive contributions.  I look forward to further collaborating on the Kalos article.

 * For someone who seems concerned with being undermined, your "nice try" comment, unnecessarily rudely calling an edit "poorly reverted" and the "do it properly" comment seem distinctly undermining and snarky. Who's to say you're edits weren't undermining mine? Are you the unbiased editor you think you are?  Why not let someone else review the article next time?

 * When I saw that the auto articles could be "graded," I reviewed the Ford Taurus article -- because I saw that it had received the highest grade. I was astonished at how much actual editorializing the article presents -- much unreferenced.  Either way, when a subject is more technical, a list or table can more clearly communicate the information -- I can't imagine that having prose would always be considered an improvement -- see your Captiva article.

 * There is info on fuel consumption, but it varies -- and whose information is worth reporting? I certainly don't mind reporting the deficiencies, but fuel consumption and reliabiltiy are areas where verifiable, impartial information is tough to come by. The problem with the Kalos fuel mileage seems from what I can tell to do with the disparity between EPA or "testing" figures and real-world figure -- and ostensibly the difference between the Kalos' mileage and the mileage of other cars in its class -- both these areas aren't measured by an independent, neutral party -- hence they're "indeterminate."  I notice the Holden Commodore article is considered "good" though it mentions neither neither fuel econmy or reliability.

 * The article has cited for some time reference to the Indian advertising campaign -- did you have a problem with that? Seems not.  The advertising campaigns have been notable in the US -- crafted by a globably prominent director with highly specific reference to the subject car, the Aveo, mimicking scenes from a prominent film.  It remains to be seen if there are notable campaigns elsewhere -- and I'm not certain a paucity of information in one area of the world would dictate removing information from an area where there is information.  Interestingly, the A rated Ford Taurus article waxes poetically about that car's promotional campaign:

 * "Dear Ford premiered the Taurus in a resounding way. In mid-1985, Ford gathered executives and the press for the unveiling of the Taurus and Mercury Sable. The event took place at the MGM Studios Soundstage 85, where Gone with the Wind had been filmed. The studio was decorated in a space theme, with stars on the walls, flying saucer decorations, and refreshments served in flying saucer shaped coolers.[8] For the unveiling, "space" music started playing, as projected stars floated around the room in dance floor fashion. The outlines of the cars glowed green through the curtain; as the curtain flew up, strobe lights flashed, highlighting the cars."

 * By burying the Aveo and its info fairly deeply into the article, it doesn't dominate. There will be much more info to come on the other markets.

 * Your suggestions are largely constructive, and the article will only improve with your input and our collaboration. I look forward to working with you on the article, I appreciate your contribution, and I especially appreciate your experience with Wikipedia and with car articles. Thanks again for taking the time to point out directions where the article can improve.

Two generations? Or one generation + one facelift?
I would like to get clear on whether the differences between the T200 and T250 constitute a generation or a facelift.

Compare the Kalos to say the VW Golf, and it's clear that nothing significant changed between the T200 and the T250 -- no dimensional changes, no significant content changes.

I wonder if the generation change wasn't from T100 Lanos to T200 Kalos and that the T250 is only a facelift. In retrospect, five years from now, I'm thinking it will be clear what we have with the T250 is a restyle.

Also, the article makes a great deal of the two internal codes at GM and GMDAT, but doesn't cite a source for the info.

Thoughts? 842U (talk) 11:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I basically agree - the T250 is a "mid-life update", although one of the more substantial in scope, but still I don't think it constitutes a new "generation" - which is a purely subjective term anyway, which is why I believe manufacturers' codes are a more tangible subject for an encyclopedia. I know no source was given, but this is a widely known bit of info in GM enthusiast circles. I guess I need to dig out something on that, never occurred to me we actually should :/ PrinceGloria (talk) 21:35, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I'd like to get a bit more input on this as we go along.  I like articles that are structured clearly -- and something tells me the structure of the article is getting off track if it emphasizes this generation thing vs. facelift thing.  I'm curious also if the restyled (USA 2008.5 or 2009) Five-door (with the "I want to eat you" grill) is now a T250?  I'm thinking it is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 842U (talk 842U (talk) 22:10, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I've made a change here that I feel is correct. If not please revert. OSX (talk • contributions) 22:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * OSX, I believe we could do away with this "First generation" altogether, until GM DAT releases the second one (kinda like Queen Elizabeth wasn't Elizabeth I until, well, quite recently ;) ) - FWIK now, there might as well be no second-gen Kalos, perhaps they will replace it with an all-new car and nameplate?
 * As concerns the new hatch, I've been told it is NOT a T250, but I didn't get to learn the exact code now... PrinceGloria (talk) 13:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm thinking PrinceGloria might be on to something with Queen Elizabeth -- getting the correct internal code will be interesting.

I wonder about prioritizing the internal code as the nomenclature around which the article is structured, but the jury is out on that til we have that other code.

I'm not liking now that the subheadings on T200 don't "seem" to apply to the facelift... and I'm thinking they should.

Good discussion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 842U (talk • contribs) 14:12, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

US model year changes
This section is a confusing mess. It looks like someone took a list of changes and copied it into a single paragraph without any formatting. In addition to better formatting, it can stand to be cleaned up, as not every single little change in each model year needs to be listed here (see WP:IINFO). Really, this section would be best converted to one or two summarized paragraphs with complete sentences. --Vossanova o< 20:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

correction of completly inaccurate info
i made a few corrections. the whole article had completely inaccurate info. furthermore i suggest that the article gets renamed to "Chevrolet Aveo". Daewoo doesn't exist any longer since it was bought by Chevrolet.

And the "Kalos" is a complete different car. So i suggest someone makes a cleanup here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.233.73.87 (talk) 12:14, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Of note for editors not familiar with the issue: the above is partly untrue and partly imprecise. GM Daewoo, the manufacturer of this vehicle, is reporting record results and production numbers as we speak, while the Daewoo Kalos and Chevrolet Aveo are identical but for minor decorative details (and the usual stuff varying by per market specs).

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: both pages moved per discussion below. There seems to be a general agreement to go ahead with the move. If they decide not to phase out the Daewoo brand as scheduled, then we can move them back, but that seems rather unlikely. - GTBacchus(talk) 03:33, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Daewoo Kalos → Chevrolet Aveo — As reported by Chosunilbo and IHS Global, the Daewoo brand is being phased out from March 2011 in South Korea and being replaced by Chevrolet (as used internationally). Thus, the Daewoo Kalos replacement will be named "Chevrolet Aveo" in South Korea, and the facelifted Daewoo Winstorm will become the "Chevrolet Captiva". Daewoo's other models will be renamed when they are updated or replaced.

Per, WP:CARS/Conventions, the original market name should be used for automobiles. As "Chevrolet" will be the new name in South Korea (the original market), this is the correct title per the convention. The "Chevrolet Aveo" name is also used to market the Daewoo Kalos in all international markets (100+) except China and Australasia. Likewise, the "Chevrolet Captiva" name is used to market the Daewoo Winstorm in all markets except for Australasia. These new Chevrolet names will also better satisfy WP:Common name, as all English-speaking markets (except for Australasia) use the currently proposed Chevrolet names.

Splitting of first generation (T200 and T250) contents into a dedicated article
I cannot get the layout of this article to flow properly without splitting the first generation (T200 and T250) contents into a dedicated article. This would be titled, "Chevrolet Aveo (T200)". The alternative is to add another level to the table of contents, so "first generation" and "second generation" section headings can separate the two generations. This is partially how the article was organised before, but it was an unorganised mess that was very cumbersome to navigate through.

The level of T200/T250 content is enough to justify a separate article. With the T300 second generation model to be progressively released within the next few months, T300 contents will also inevitably grow much larger as well. OSX (talk • contributions) 06:07, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Imanol Harinordoquy

Imanol Harinordoquy (born 20 February 1980) is a French former rugby union player. He typically played as a number 8 for Stade Toulousain at club level in the Top 14 and for France internationally. Before signing with Biarritz ahead of the 2004–05 season, he played club rugby at Pau.

Harinordoquy won two Top 14 titles (2005, 2006), five Six Nations victories (2002, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2010), which included three Grand Slams (2002, 2004, 2010) and the 2012 Amlin Cup. He has also lost 2 Heineken Cup finals, in 2006 and 2010.

Early life
A Basque-speaking native of Bayonne, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Harinordoquy grew up in St-Jean-Pied-de-Port (Donibane Garazi). He grew up playing many sports, among them pelota, swimming, football and judo. Harinordoquy began concentrating on the sport of rugby following a knee injury at the age of 14, which limited his football development. He began his career playing for US Nafarroa and quickly advanced in the sport. While excelling at Nafarroa and later Pau, Harinordoquy represented France at under-19 and under-21 levels. He was also brought up in the family's cattle-trading business; when it came time for him to choose between the business and rugby, he opted for the latter. Harinordoquy did, however, earn a BTS in agricultural management.

Rugby career
Harinordoquy joined Pau in 1999 and was a part of the team that reached the semi-finals in his inaugural season with the club, which resulted in qualification to the European Cup in the next season. After consistently appearing with the team the next two seasons, in 2002, Harinordoquy made his international debut just before his 22nd birthday in the Six Nations match against Wales. He contributed to the team and helped France win the Grand Slam that year. In the 2003 Rugby World Cup, Harinordoquy was again in form, grounding tries in wins over Ireland, Scotland and Fiji. Harinordoquy was a fixture in the French side subsequently, helping France to a second Six Nations Grand Slam in 2004. He was joint top try scorer with four in the 2004 edition of the Six Nations competition.

Harinordoquy entered the 2005 Six Nations with 30 caps for France. However, he missed the competition's first fixture against Scotland due to a separated shoulder suffered in his last game for Biarritz before the competition. Harinordoquy, subsequently, had difficulty regaining his form immediately after the injury; he was dropped from the squad by the end of the 2005 tournament. He returned to the team ahead of the 2007 Rugby World Cup and quickly cemented his place within the team. Harinordoquy started in France's opening match against Argentina.

At the end of 2010, Harinordoquy made the short-list for IRB Player of the Year and was the only player from the Northern Hemisphere to do so. He ultimately lost out on the award to All Blacks captain Richie McCaw.

Harinordoquy was a member of the French team that finished as the runner-up to hosts New Zealand in the 2011 Rugby World Cup final.

After Biarritz finished bottom in the 2013/2014 season and was subsequently relegated, Harinordoquy decided to move on to Stade Toulousain for the 2014/2015 Top 14 season. He finished his career at the end of the 2015/16 season.
