Monica (automobile)

Monica is the name of a French luxury automobile produced in the commune of Balbigny in the department of Loire between 1972 and 1974 of which just 40 cars were reported to have been made. The Monica 560 V8 is considered part of the French luxury GT lineage in the tradition of the earlier Facel Vega HK500 V8 GT.

The beginning
The Monica car was a project of Jean Tastevin, a graduate engineer of the École centrale de Paris. His father Arnaud bought the Atelier et Chantiers de Balbigny in 1930. That company was a manufacturer of mining and railway equipment. In 1955 Jean succeeded his father, becoming Chairman and Managing Director. He renamed the company Compagnie française de produits métallurgiques, or CFPM, and began to specialize in the manufacture and rental of railroad tank cars. The factory where the rolling stock was manufactured operated under a different name, being Compagnie Française de Matériels Ferroviaires (CFMF). The company prospered, eventually coming to have 400 employees.

Tastevin was an automobile enthusiast who personally owned cars from Aston Martin and Facel Vega. After Facel Vega shut down in 1964 he bought a Jaguar, but regretted not being able to buy a French-made car of that class.

In pursuit of both his interest in cars and a way to diversify his railway business, Tastevin began making plans to launch his own brand of automobile in 1966. He made his long-time assistant, Henri Szykowksi, the project manager. He would also set aside a portion of his factory in Balgigny so that the cars could truly be said to be made in France.

The car was named in honour of Tastevin's wife, Monique Tastevin.

Development history and prototypes
Automotive engineer and racing driver Chris Lawrence's company LawrenceTune Engines had developed a 2.6-litre version of the Standard engine used in the Triumph TR4. Lawrence's version used a crossflow cylinder head of his own design and Tecalemit-Jackson fuel injection to make a claimed 182 bhp bhp. Automotive journalist Gérard "Jabby" Crombac had seen the engine at the 1966 Racing Show at Olympia West Hall in London. The article he wrote about it had caught Tastevin's eye. Tastevin wrote to Lawrence asking about having LawrenceTune supply 250 engines per year for his new car. Upon learning that the car was not yet developed, Lawrence offered the services of his own company. Crombac, who was familiar with Lawrence's racing exploits, vouched for Lawrence and Tastevin entrusted the development of the Monica to LawrenceTune.

The first chassis and the jig to produce it were built together. Lawrence laid out a chassis with a central tunnel made of four square-section 18 gauge steel tubes with extensive cross-bracing. Two long steel boxes with triangular cross-sections were made of 16 gauge steel and attached to the chassis in the door sill area. These stiffened the chassis and were also to serve as the car's fuel tanks. 16 gauge aluminum formed the front and rear bulkheads and floors and was used on both sides of the central tunnel to stiffen the car further. Voids in the tunnel were filled with expanded polyurethane foam to add even more stiffness and deaden sound.

The front suspension used very tall uprights with the wheel spindles on one side and a short stub axle extending inwards on the other. Springing was by vertically mounted coil-over-damper units mounted inboard and operated through rocker-style upper arms. The lower arms were conventional wide-based wishbones made of a one-piece wishbone and a long radius arm running back towards the bulkhead. Steering was rack-and-pinion mounted high, at the same level as the upper wishbone.

The rear suspension was a De Dion system with coil springs, two parallel leading links on each side and a Panhard rod. The differential was from the Rover P6B (also known as the Rover 3500) with a crown-and-pinion made by Hewland, but with an additional nose-piece that gave the option of two rear-axle ratios; a high-numeric ratio for in town and a low-numeric ratio for high-speed cruising. A lever in the cockpit allowed the ratio to be changed while in motion.

Braking was provided by a dual-circuit power assisted Lockheed and Girling system with 12-inch vented disks in front and 10-inch solid disk brakes in the rear. The rear brakes were mounted inboard and the front brakes were mounted to the stub-axle on the front upright, which brought them out of the wheels and into the air-stream for cooling.

As the prototype chassis was nearing completion Lawrence began to have second thoughts about using the LawrenceTune/Standard-Triumph engine. Lawrence knew that the Triumph engine was to be phased out of production by 1967. He also felt that this relatively heavy, rough, and noisy engine was not appropriate for a new luxury car.

Lawrence put Tastevin in touch with Edward C. "Ted" Martin, who had designed an engine that Lawrence thought would work well in the Monica. After evaluating the engine Tastevin bought the design, rights and existing tooling for Ted Martin's engine. The agreement included four complete 3.0 litre engines.

The Martin engine was an all-alloy V8 with a single overhead camshaft (SOHC) per bank driven by a toothed-belt (originally Gilmer belt - see also Timing belt). Designed for the new 3-litre limit announced for the 1966 Formula One season, it weighed just 230 lbs with ancillaries and produced 270 bhp at 7000 rpm. An unusual feature of the Martin V8 was that four of the connecting rods were forked at the big end, much like those on the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. The connecting rod for the opposing cylinder bore fit into the gap of the forked rod. This meant that the cylinder banks were not offset on the crank-line, reducing overall engine length. The engine was used in the Pearce-Martin F1 car as well as the Lucas-Martin, a modified Lotus 35 Formula 2 frame that was run briefly in Formula One. It also appeared in 2.8-litre form in some specials, including some of Lawrence's own Deep Sanderson sports and racing cars.

This initial prototype first ran at Silverstone in 1968 without bodywork. The drivetrain for the car was a 3-litre Martin V8 driving through a Triumph TR4 gearbox with overdrive. The car weighed 1070 kg. Overall performance was good but the testing uncovered problems with the engine and its lack of road-car ancillaries.

Bodywork for the first prototype was fabricated by Maurice Gomm. This car was very different in appearance from the subsequent prototypes and the production models and has been compared to an oversized Panhard CD. Neither Tastevin nor his wife were happy with the appearance of the first prototype.

A second prototype chassis was built and sent to Williams & Pritchard, who produced a body for it in aluminum. The style of this body was much more angular than the first. Tastevin personally requested some last-minute changes to the shape which would be undone in later prototypes, but in general prototype #2 set the general direction for subsequent bodies. This second car was registered as a Deep Sanderson and given registration number 2 ARX. After its use as a development mule prototype #2 was used as a personal car by team member Colin James, after which it was acquired by Peter Dodds, another member of the Monica team.

In 1969 prototype chassis #3, the first to receive a ZF 5-speed manual transmission, was built. At this time the Tastevins introduced Tudor (Tony) Rascanu, a Romanian exile and former shop manager for Vignale in Italy, to the project. Rascanu was entrusted with the job of completely restyling the bodywork for the third prototype, but was not allowed to make any modifications to Lawrence's chassis, which was to be sent to French coach-builder Henri Chapron in Paris. Chapron was to build a full-sized maquette, or body-form, of the revised car under Rascanu's oversight. Rascanu and Capron's work met with Tastevin's approval. With hidden headlamps in a sloping aerodynamic nose and wide horizontal taillights it was much more appealing than the previous two attempts. The maquette was then sent to Carrozzeria Alfredo Vignale in Turin to be used as a base for Vignale to produce a body in steel.

Before delivering the maquette to Vignale, Tastevin asked Lawrence to first deliver prototype #2 to the workshops of Virgilio Conrero, also in Turin. The famous Alfa mechanic was to do a detailed assessment of the Martin engine and evaluation of the car's performance. Conrero was critical of almost every aspect of the Martin engine and was skeptical of the power curves provided by Lawrence. He told the factory “this engine is a trap that will never work under normal traffic conditions”. Conrero insisted on a flying-kilometre test of the prototype, after which he would run his 2-litre Giulietta on the same course for comparison. Lawrence suspected that Conrero was trying to discredit both the Martin engine and LawrenceTune in an attempt to take Lawrence's place on the Monica project. He examined the times recorded for the Monica's run and discovered an irregularity in the numbers. When Tastevin confronted Conrero with this information the testing was halted and Conrero's involvement in the project ended.

Lawrence delivered chassis #3 to Vignale's carrozzeria, and they completed the body in steel. While prototype #3 was a significant improvement the Tastevins were not yet entirely satisfied with its appearance. Performance of this car was also disappointing due to it being between 200 kg and 250 kg overweight. By way of explanation Lawrence drilled a hole into the scuttle. The drill penetrated 0.5 in of lead. Vignale, in the meantime, sold his company to DeTomaso in December 1969 and died three days later in an automobile accident while driving a Maserati.

During the May 1968 events in France, Tastevin decamped the entire staff of CFPM to Geneva and tasked Lawrence to keep the Monica project going. Tastevin provided Lawrence with funding to find sub-contractors to build cars in England. Lawrence approached Jensen, who he knew were already building cars for Sunbeam, Volvo and Austin-Healey as well as their own C-V8s and Interceptors. Jensen was not set up to produce the body panels though. Panels for their other assembly contracts came from outside of the company. Lawrence took prototype #3 and went looking for someone to provide the panels. He found a company named Airflow Streamline in Luton that specialized in producing aluminum cabs for trucks. Airflow only asked for a complete set of engineering drawings, a chassis and the number of body panels that Lawrence would require. Chassis #4 and #6 were delivered to Airflow Streamline and Rascanu was installed there to supervise the production of the necessary drawings.

Another sub-contractor would be needed to supply the engines. Two possibilities presented themselves. One was Coventry Victor, and the other was Rolls-Royce. Lawrence had heard that Rolls-Royce had recently idled one of their production facilities due to the loss of a contract and might be interested in taking on the Martin V8 project. Lawrence met with representatives from Rolls-Royce, who were fascinated by the small size of the Martin V8 and intrigued by the forked connecting rods so reminiscent of those in Rolls-Royce's own Merlin. Rolls-Royce subsequently won another defense contract which would reactivate the previously idled plant and bowed out of negotiations. Lawrence went back to Coventry Victor.

In the intervening time things had settled down in Paris, and Tastevin wanted to move the project along quickly. Chassis #5 was sent to the factory in Balbigny while Lawrence set about establishing a machine shop at LawrenceTune Engines able to produce the engines as well. Problems with castings coming from a company called Birmingham Alloys prompted Lawrence to have Tastevin search his contacts in the French aluminum industry for an alternative supplier, settling on a company called Montupet.

Airflow Steamline was still without their technical drawings and was not getting any information out of Paris. It turned out that Rascenu, sadly, had died in 1970 before being able to complete the drawings. Lawrence met with Airflow Streamline to discuss the changes they wanted in the maquette and Lawrence convinced Airflow to build two bodies on the two chassis they had using prototype #3, which would be left there, as a structural guide. The car they would produce, prototype #4, would be Lawrence's favourite Monica of all.

David Coward was hired from Autocar magazine where he was working as an illustrator. Prior to that he had worked at coachbuilder James Young. Coward refined Rascanu's design by lowering the side window line and deepening the windscreen to give the car a more contemporary appearance. The body was also lowered three inches between the floor pan and the roof and four inches were added to the width.

After sorting out some issues with prototype #4 attention turned to tooling. Tooling to produce the bodywork in aluminum turned out to be prohibitively expensive, but a company named Abbate was found in Turin that would make tooling out of resin that would be able to produce up to 100 body sets in steel. The price for the set would be £100,000.

When the unrest in Paris had subsided the idea of contracting out production of the car had ended, but Tastevin had kept Coventry Victor under contract to produce the engines. They had been asked to produce 25 copies of the engine in a 2.8 litre displacement. Coventry Victor was only able to produce 18 engines before declaring bankruptcy.

At the same time Lawrence had pressed ahead with producing the engines at LawrenceTune headquarters in England. Tests of the 2.8 litre engine led him to believe that this version was under-powered for the car, and so he enlarged his. With displacement increased to 3423 cc fed by four 2-barrel Weber 40 DCLN down-draught carburetors and the Monica name in script cast into its valve-covers, the revised engine produced 240 bhp at 6000 rpm. While maximum torque wasn't produced until 4000 rpm the torque curve was relatively flat from 2500 to 4000 rpm.

Eventually the technical drawings were completed and approved by Tastevin, which Lawrence delivered to Turin along with prototype #4 so that production of the body panels using the resin/steel hybrid tooling could begin. Comparisons have been drawn between the final shape of the Monica and many of its contemporaries, with the front view having been compared to the Maserati Indy and Lotus Elan +2, the rear to the Ferrari 365 GT 2+2, and the side elevation to the Aston Martin DBS.

Problems continued with the engine however. Blown head-gaskets were common and difficulties with deliveries of both block and cylinder head castings held back development.

In an exclusive article in l'Auto-Journal, writers Jean Mistral and Gilles Guérithaut published a preview of the Monica's debut at the upcoming Salon de l'Auto in October along with an interview with Tastevin. Among the things the founder revealed were his plans to build 400 cars per year.

Tastevin decided that the car would debut at the Salon de l'Auto show in Paris in October 1971. The car on display was powered by a Martin V8 and was called the Monica 350. Tastevin arranged to have a car raised to the tenth floor of a Paris hotel the day before the show, and then have it moved over to the Salon, where the car was received enthusiastically. The morning after the day of the show Lawrence was approached by Zora-Arkus Duntov, who asked if he could take the car for a drive. Lawrence handed him the keys.

Shortly after the Paris auto show, Tastevin phoned Lawrence and told him that he had arranged for the car to be evaluated by a team from Matra. A team of six from Matra drove the cars for over three hours straight and then met with Tastevin. The outcome of the evaluation was that the Matra engineers thought that the car should go into production, but only with a different engine.

Consideration was given to using an Aston Martin V8, but that option was too expensive to pursue. Lawrence was sent to the United States to meet with Ford, Chevrolet and Chrysler to arrange for a supply of engines. Ford and Chevrolet were quickly eliminated from the running but Chrysler was very open to the idea. At the beginning of 1973 the decision was finally made to abandon the Martin V8 and adopt a North American engine, specifically the 5.6-litre (5563 cc) "340" Chrysler LA series V8.

To handle the extra weight power-steering was added, and the rear axle was beefed up. As an added bonus, Chrysler shipped the engines with an air-conditioning compressor, so that feature was added at the same time. Other minor changes included fabricating the requisite motor mounts, having two new vents let into the fenders and, on later models, two additional grilles fitted to the hood.

During road testing the new Chrysler engines began to fail. After investigating it became apparent that the cause of these problems was that these engines were not designed to run for extended duration at the speeds possible on the continent. Lawrence returned to the States looking for the resources to remedy these problems.

The engines destined for use in Monicas would all be specially tuned by Racer Brown in the United States. Modifications to the engines included a Racer Brown stage 3 road camshaft with hydraulic lifters, an Edelbrock Torquer intake manifold, a 4-barrel Holly R6909 750 CFM carburetor, a Chrysler marine specification oil pump, Clevite shell bearings, Forge True pistons, Marine specification valves, and a Felpro race-quality gasket set. The compression ratio was 10.5:1. All of these changes combined to bring output to 285 bhp at 5400 rpm and 333 lbft at 4000 rpm.

It is reported that some cars may have been built with the larger 5.9 litre (5898 cc) "360" version of the Chrysler LA engine. These cars would have been designated Monica 590s. The dimensions attributed to this version by various sources differ, sometimes significantly, from those of the 560 model. In particular the 590 is listed as being 630mm shorter with a 100mm shorter wheelbase and 140 kg heavier. It was also more powerful, the engine being rated at 315 bhp and 332 lbft.

The revised and renamed Monica 560 made its world premier at the Geneva Auto Show in March 1973. It would appear again at the Paris Auto Show in October. The car was priced at 164,000 francs (roughly US$34,000 at the time), at a time when a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow cost 165,000 francs.

After the Geneva show Tastevin invited several racing drivers and automotive journalists to Paul Ricard's circuit, Le Castellet, to evaluate the new Chrysler-powered car. Among those there was driver/journalist Paul Frère, whom Tastevin invited to "lend a hand" in sorting out the car's handling. He would also be the person who wrote the semi-official obituary for the Monica car.

A rapid succession of prototypes would be built to finalize the car. The cars at Le Castellet were numbers 8 and 9. Numbers 10 and 11 were built for crash-testing and numbers 12, 13 and 14 came after. Prototype 14 was basically pre-production and would eventually be one of the cars Tastevin kept for his personal use. Tastevin had hired a director to get production under way at Balbigny, but nothing was built for a year while the new director stalled and made changes to the car. Eventually Tastevin fired the directory and turned production over to LawrenceTune again while he looked for a new director. The car was also subsequently shown at the Earls Court auto show.

The car
With the long development period finally at an end, production gets underway in Balbigny.

The car is built on Lawrence's steel-tube and sheet metal chassis. The body is Rascanu's design with Coward's revisions executed entirely in steel. Five exterior colours are available: Atlantic Blue, Azure Blue, Purple Amaranth, Chestnut Brown and Beige Sand. The final version of Lawrence's rocker-arm/De Dion suspension is automatically leveling, and the car sits on four Michelin 215/70VR-14 Collection tires mounted on 14 inch alloy wheels. The original sill-mounted fuel tanks have been replaced with a single tank under the floor of the trunk due to regulatory restrictions.

The power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering is connected to an adjustable steering column that is topped by a custom Motolita steering wheel.

Braking on the production Monica was still a dual circuit system with Lockheed disks inboard at the front operated by a 4-piston caliper and Girling disks at the rear operated by a 3-piston caliper but the disks front and rear were both now 11 inch ventilated pieces.

The seats are upholstered in Connolly leather available in three colours: Marine, Havana, and Champagne. The floor is covered in Shetland wool carpeting. The dashboard is finished in burl elm wood and suede.

The state of the car is monitored by a brace of custom Jaeger instruments all bearing the Monica name. Gauges include a speedometer, tachometer, oil temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, ammeter, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and clock.

The windows are electrically operated. A High-fidelity sound system with integrated tape recorder and player is standard equipment, as is an air-conditioning system with separate controls for the rear seat passengers. The doors on the Monica are electrically operated to open and close silently at the touch of a button. In the trunk is a complete set of custom luggage.

With a quoted top speed of 240 kph the Monica 560 could lay claim to being "The fastest sedan in the world" at the time.

Photos from the period indicate that a future coupe and convertible were already being planned.

The end
The Monica 560 makes its last public appearance at the Paris Auto Salon Paris Auto Show in October 1974. On February 7 of 1975 Tastevin announces the cessation of production and closes the company.

Many factors contributed to the failure of the car. It endured a seven-year long gestation period. The car was remarkably expensive while lacking the kind of reputation or recognition enjoyed by other more established marques in this market. It faced competition from many similar-sized low-volume manufacturers. Finally, it had the misfortune to be officially released just as the first major oil crisis made fuel prices jump and large expensive motorcars less desirable.

Five Monicas remaining at the LawrenceTune headquarters were sold by Lawrence to Cliff Davis and Bernie Ecclestone, the proceeds being payment for LawrenceTunes work for Tastevin. Lawrence was driving pre-production car #21 at the time. The Tastevins kept three Monicas for their own use.

The production assets of the Monica company and as many as thirty cars in various stages of completion were sold to French race driver and Formula One team owner Guy Ligier. Ligier did not resume production.

In April 1976 Motor Sport magazine reported an announcement by Bob Jankel of Panther Westwinds that his company and C.J. Lawrence and Co. would resume production of the Monica. C.J. Lawrence and Co. would manufacture sub-assemblies and Panther would assemble, paint and trim the car. Power was elsewhere rumored to be coming from a Jaguar V12 motor. Production would move from Balbigny to Surrey. Nothing came of these plans.

Six production Monicas are known to exist. At least three of the prototypes are reported to remain in Britain. Chris Lawrence personally owned a production Monica for several years that was sold from his estate.

Bellevue Hill, New South Wales

Bellevue Hill is a harbourside suburb in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia, located five kilometres east of the Sydney central business district, in the Municipality of Woollahra.

The suburb is located within the Division of Wentworth electorate.

History
The area of contemporary Bellevue Hill was originally part of the lands of the Cadigal people. Their livelihood was composed of fishing and shellfish collecting.

In the early 19th century, Irish-Australian immigrants referred to the area as Vinegar Hill, after the Battle of Vinegar Hill, an engagement during the 1798 uprising of the United Irishmen in south-east Ireland. Governor Lachlan Macquarie took great exception to this and decided to name the suburb Bellevue Hill, the belle vue meaning beautiful view.

The area became part of Daniel Cooper's estate, who passed most of it on his death in 1853 to his nephew, Sir Daniel Cooper. From the mid-19th century, land along the ridges was released, leading to the construction of the first houses, such as Ginahgulla, owned by the Fairfax family, and Cranbrook. The lack of public transport but preponderance of scenic views led to the area being aimed at those without the need for the former but with the appreciation for the latter.

Further land was released along the heights and the western side of the hill overlooking Double Bay in the early 20th century. The extension of the tram line began mass suburban development, with most housing ending up owner-occupied and built between 1910 and 1930, with later waves of redevelopment especially in the 1990s.

Former tram service
The line to Bellevue Hill opened in 1909. Services operated from Circular Quay via Elizabeth and Park streets. Trams heading south from Circular Quay down Elizabeth Street swung left into Park Street, via a right turn into Yurong Street, a left turn into Stanley Street, a right turn into Bourke Street, then a left turn into Burton Street.

A feature was the tram only viaduct over Barcom Avenue and Boundary Street in Darlinghurst as the line headed into MacDonald Street. This viaduct is now a road bridge. The line then twisted down Glenmore, Gurner and Hargreave Streets in Paddington, then Moncur and Queen Streets in Woollahra. Here, a connection to Oxford Street allowed access to the Waverley Bus Depot. The line then travelled down Edgecliff and Victoria Roads, then wound along Birriga Road in Bellevue Hill, finally running down Curlewis Street in Bondi to join the Bondi Beach via Bondi Junction line on Campbell Parade, to the North Bondi terminus. The line was double track throughout with numerous points to allow short working.

The line was cut back to Ocean Street, Woollahra in 1955; the remainder closed on 27 June 1959. The line followed approximately the current route of bus route 389 from the city.

Demographics
According to the 2011 census of Population, there were 10,765 residents in Bellevue Hill. 56.3% of residents were born in Australia. The most common other countries of birth were England 5.1%, South Africa 4.7% and New Zealand 2.4%. 73.9% of residents spoke only English at home. Other languages spoken at home included Hebrew 1.3%, Cantonese 1.3% and Mandarin 1.1%. The most common responses for religious affiliation were Judaism 23.0%, No Religion 19.2% and Catholic 16.7%. The most common occupations for residents were Professionals 41.9%, Managers 20.7% and Clerical and Administrative Workers 12.8%.

In the 2016 census, 10,716 residents were counted. 58.2% of these had been born in Australia. The most common other countries of birth were England 5.8%, South Africa 4.9%, New Zealand 2.2%, China 1.6% and United States of America 1.2%. 74.8% of residents spoke only English at home. Other languages spoken at home included Hebrew 1.8%, Mandarin 1.7%, Russian 1.3%, Portuguese 1.2% and French 1.2%. The most common responses for religious affiliation were No Religion 28.1%, Judaism 21.4% and Catholic 16.8%. The most common occupations included Professionals 40.8%, Managers 22.3%, Clerical and Administrative Workers 11.4%, Sales Workers 7.9%, and Community and Personal Service Workers 7.2%. 4.2% of employed people in Bellevue Hill worked in Legal Services. Other major industries of employment included Other Auxiliary Finance and Investment Services 3.0%, Banking 2.9%, General Practice Medical Services 2.8% and Real Estate Services 2.6%.

At the 2021 census, there were 10,590 in Bellevue Hill.

Real estate
Bellevue Hill became the home of the Fairfax family, who lived at Trahlee, in Ginahgulla Road, which was leased by James Fairfax from 1866 to 1878. They then moved to Ginahgulla (now known as Fairfax House and owned by The Scots College) on the same road.

The historic Queen Anne home Caerleon was sold for $22 million in January 2008. This price was surpassed by the $23 million paid for a mansion in Victoria Road in November 2009. The mansion had previously been used by the French consulate since 1955. One person who inspected it was actor Russell Crowe, who subsequently did not take part in the bidding. The house was bought by Lachlan Murdoch.

Actress Toni Collette sold her Bellevue Hill home in August 2009 for $6.4 million. The house, El Mio, had been the base for Collette and her husband, musician David Galafassi, since they bought it in 2004 for $5 million. The house was located in Rupertswood Avenue and was designed in 1928 in the Spanish Mission style. It was initially passed in at $6.3 million, but was then sold within an hour after successful negotiations with the highest bidder.

Heritage listings
Bellevue Hill has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
 * 24 Victoria Road: Leura (Bellevue Hill)

The following buildings are on the (now defunct) Register of the National Estate.
 * Rona, Ginahgulla Road

Hong Kong International Airport (香港國際機場), popularly referred to as Chek Lap Kok Airport (赤鱲角機場 Pinyin: Chìliè Jiǎo, Red Perch Cape), is the international airport of Hong Kong. It is the replacement for the old Hong Kong International Airport, popularly known as Kai Tak International Airport.

Operations
The airport is operated by the Airport Authority, a statutory body wholly owned by the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It is the hub of Cathay Pacific, Dragonair (the flag carriers of Hong Kong) and Air Hong Kong. Its IATA Airport Code is HKG and the ICAO Airport Code is VHHH, both of which are the same codes that Kai Tak used.

The airport is the third busiest airport for passenger traffic in Asia, and the world's second busiest airport for cargo traffic in 2003. In terms of international traffic, the airport is the third busiest for passenger traffic and the busiest for cargo since its operation in 1998. It is popular with travellers — from 2001 to 2005 Hong Kong International Airport has been voted the world's best airport in an annual survey of several million passengers worldwide by Skytrax. In 2000, the airport also won an award as 'Asia/Pacific's leading airport' at the 7th World Travel Awards.

According to the Guinness World Records, the passenger terminal of the HKIA is the worlds largest building. The Airport Core Project is the most expensive airport project.

International supporters
I ve got to say, I ve always kinda linked the MFC with the legendary Only fools and horses and the Sheringham and Cascarino era. Although I ve just had a glance at this page, it seems to me that there aren t enough things for a foreign supporter, or a potential one to be precise, to identify with. It s only cos I support the Lions, too. Encyclopaedic parts are important, but a section which could show why we really support them wouldn t be too subjective-it would provide a background for understanding of what is MFC all about. I am currently some 2000 miles away and never been to Peckham or England, but there are some qualities that each human being can recognize in the spirit of the real MFC supporters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.147.101.146 (talk • contribs)

A note on British English
British English should be used for articles on Britain related topics. Likewise, American English should be used on articles pertaining to American topics. For a clearer example, please visit this sub-section on the differences between their usage. However, is" works better than "are" with the term club as it is a singular and not a plural noun.

Peter Theo Vasiliou
Peter Theo Vasiliou seems to be a former (albeit I think rather minor) player for Millwall. Are there sources which would allow us to say how many games he player for the team, and when? -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 12:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I have been a Millwall supporter for over 40years and I have never heard of this player, nor can I find any record of him playing for Millwall. The only thing I can suggest, is contacting Gazza@millwall-history.co.uk as I believe he is in possesion of Millwall A Complete History by Richard Lindsay, a most expensive publication! He may be able to shed some light on the matter, but If you want my opinion, it sounds to me like he's trying it on. There is a remote possiblity (of course) that he may have been on Millwall's books, but as I say I have no knowledge or memory of this person playing for Millwall. Hope this helps.

We Fear No Foe
The introduction paragraph states the legend "we fear no foe" was on the team shirts in 1930s. This is wrong. The rampant lion badge with MFC below it appeared on shirts in team photos from 1936, although Millwall did not always play in shirts with these badges.

The Greenwich foot tunnel
I see mention of the Greenwich Foot tunnel in the den section. It stresses the North to South traffic of East End supporters continuing to support Millwall after the move and suggest a new set supporters south of the River after 1910. This of course missed the point and reason why the foot tunnel was built in the first place as much of the Labour in the docks and other industries on the Isle of Dogs lived south of the river and the way the Isle of Dogs was virtually cut off from the North by the West India docks.

Notable former players
What is the criteria for a player to be listed here?

Do they have to famous? Internationals? Or just Millwall Legends?

Can't see the justification for Christophe Kinet, Huckerby or Dave Savage being listed here.

Question by Gazza Millwall-History

 * On most club articles some objective criteria has been established for listing ex-players. On the Manchester City F.C. article, they only list members of their hall of fame, and the Chelsea F.C. article lists the winners of their player of the year award. Why not just list the players in Millwall's Hall of Fame? SteveO (talk) 01:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi SteveO, yes that's quite a good suggestion. By the looks of things the players Gazza mentions seem to have been "dealt with":) The only problem I can see is that the Hall of Fame leaves out Keith Stevens, Mister Magoo and certainly our most notable player of all time, although he only played 4 league games, Curtis Weston along with our all time league-goal scorer Neil Harris I also think that members of the FA Cup Final squad belong on the list, I doubt if we will ever make another, certainly not in my lifetime! I think some of them should go certainly, and would value any further opinion you care to offer. Thanks, 'Arry Boy (talk) 02:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

going by the current criteria "A list of notable footballers who have played for Millwall Football Club. Players who have been honoured in Millwall's Hall of Fame and have significantly contributed to the club's history. Be it through being founder member players, having been given a testimonial for 10 years of service at the club, making over 100 appearances, scoring 50 goals or having receieved international recognition by their country in the form of caps, while playing for Millwall." I think that should see Darren Byfield removed as his caps pre-date his Millwall Spell. Kim Grant's caps may aslo pre-date his Millwall spell. There are several other very minor figures who by virtue of a cap for a low ranking get listed which seems wrong, players like Michael Gilkes, Bobby Bowry and Marc Bircham, players who are not notable in the least!

 * Hi Steve, wow thanks for all your time, that's really nice of you! The Lion with the circle you have is the old one which was replaced by the double lion badge. The new one is just like the one I showed you except it has a black outline. I tried the official site and they seem to be pulling every trick in the book to conceal the new one. I've done quite an extensive search but can't seem to find it. I did however find a page that said the new one had been uploaded by wikipedia user:Pal and has been deleted, I don't know if they can help? All the very best, 'Arry Boy (talk) 23:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Same here, I can't find it anywhere on the club's site, google etc. Unfortunately, user:Pal has been inactive since August, but I'll drop a note on their talk page anyway and see what happens. It may be worth uploading one of the old ones for now. At least then there's something there. SteveO (talk) 23:37, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes it's very strange. I think that's a good idea, the closest one to it would be badge "a" here and once again, thanks. 'Arry Boy (talk) 00:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay I've uploaded the one you suggested. It should do until the current one is located. SteveO (talk) 18:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Ther's something up with the intro - sombody sort it.RicoRichmond (talk) 20:48, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

GazzaLDN 22:00, 26 August 2012 (UTC) The last 3 sentences of the Introduction do need looking at. I had deleted them in an earlier edit, but that was undone.

''Millwall is well known for a long-standing rivalry with West Ham United. The local derby between the two sides has been contested almost 100 times since 1899. Millwall's supporters have an infamous association with hooliganism. The fans are renowned for their chant, "No one likes us, we don't care". '' I think the last sentence should stand on its own, not in the current paragraph.

While Millwall have played West Ham 97 times, this includes many minor games such as Southern Floodlight Cup and London League, which were essential reserve or Youth team games which attracted little or no fans in attendance. We have only played each other 16 times in competitive games in the last 60 years. This rivalry I think more of a modern Phenomenon than a long standing rivalry.

Removed Rivalries section
I removed the "Rivalries" section because:

 * The word "rivalry" makes no sense between a newspaper and a football club. They might be enemies, but they aren't rivals in the way that Millwall and West Ham might be. The FA also don't seem to be obvious rivals to a football club.

 * There is a large section about a conspiracy that would need some kind of verifiable reference.

Ttwaring (talk) 14:39, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

"Infamous fans" section
There's a section called Infamous fans, but this doesn't seem to line up with the dictionary definition: This hardly seems to apply to someone walking home from a G20 protest, or Del-Boy's father. Should this section just be merged in with "Famous Fans", dropping the "Infamous" heading? - Ttwaring (talk) 16:21, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * having an extremely bad reputation; deserving of or causing an evil reputation; shamefully malign; detestable
 * When I submitted the page for a Good article once over the guy suggested the whole famous fans section be taken out, as sections on celebrity supporters are not encouraged, altho personally I see it on quite a few pages and find it interesting and informative myself, but yeah maybe Tomlinson and the Only Fools part should go, rather than being merged.

 * official Millwall site and sky sports say he left the french club, and it's a contract until the end of the season. no mention of loan at all. BillyBatty (talk) 12:50, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Every single French source that I've read, and I've read at least 10 so far, states that he was loaned out to Millwall with a buy option at the end of the 6 month term. I have yet to come across a source that explicitly states that he terminated his contract with Arles. I'd suggest someone seeks clarification from the clarification from the club because I'm quite sure he's only in on loan. TonyStarks (talk) 19:40, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

 * I've read loan in a couple of places too, but since the official Millwall site doesn't mention it's a loan and is a more reputable source than any newspaper, I'd say leave it as a short term contract for now. It's definitely worth monitoring over the next week or so, if it needs to be changed. What does the official Arles site say? BillyBatty (talk) 02:59, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, the Arles website doesn't mention the transfer at all. As for the Millwall site, "a short term contract" can be understood either way. Like you said, best approach is probably to monitor it over the next couple of weeks. Cheers. TonyStarks (talk) 03:49, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Found an English source that states that he is on loan : Jackett: Morison contract talks going well. The article says "It was a quiet transfer deadline day for Millwall in the end on Monday with Jackett happy to have completed his January dealing before the weekend by snapping up Hameur Bouazza on a loan deal." I think this should put the issue to bed, I'll update the article accordingly. TonyStarks (talk) 08:44, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Squad table format
A discussion is being held here on the possibility of rolling out a new squad template. The new template, named football squad player2, differs from the standard squad layout in several ways:
 * It features a sort function
 * Comes in a single column format that can be understood by screen readers.
 * Single column format ensures that low resolution browsers, including mobile devices, do not get part or all of the second column cut off.
 * Single column format ensures less clutter, particularly at lower resolutions, for wide sections such as the Arsenal loan section.
 * It gives nationality its own column; at present flags are featured in a blank, untitled column
 * It complies with Wikipedia's guidance on flag usage.
 * It leaves enough space to add images of current players, an example of which can be seen at Watford F.C.

It is proposed that the new template be added to some of Wikipedia's most high-profile club articles, which might include. To give your thoughts, please read and contribute to the discussion at WikiProject Football.

 * Keep, on the condition the article is expanded. Millwall were also in the 92-93 and 93-94 Anglo-Italian Cup. Three different years with European competition holds more weight for its own article, unlike Portsmouth F.C. in European football and Wigan Athletic F.C. in European football which only have one campaign. BillyBatty (talk) 13:48, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I do confess that when I wrote the article, I assumed that Millwall hadn't been involved in any of those competitions because I thought the FA wouldn't have wanted those hooligans near it. Nevertheless, I have now included those stats in the article so it is now more than just the UEFA Cup campaign .  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 11:54, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

notable supporters?
Listcraft anyone? It doesn't add anything to the article. Shouldn't it be removed? Govvy (talk) 20:38, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

 * I think we should keep it as it is in good shape (table format with all entries referenced) and low maintenance. I think it would be more work if it didn't exist and people kept trying to add supporters to other sections. Ttwaring (talk) 22:45, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

 * When I first added it, I had it as a collapsed table. It took up minimal room and if someone was interested in reading it, they could expand it. Most clubs seem to have it in their supporters sections, such as Arsenal F.C. supporters and West Ham United F.C. supporters. The way the West Ham section is arranged would be the best way I think, photos add more depth to the section. BillyBatty (talk) 10:47, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I actually think the West Ham supporters article is by far the best article I've seen on wiki for this type of content, I think Millwall should have a similar page considering the history behind the club. The list should be moved over to it. Govvy (talk) 11:26, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

I think you should add Roy Larner, the "Lion of London Bridge" to the list of notable supporters!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.230.86.159 (talk) 22:10, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Frankly I think it is odd that the London Bridge Attacks are not mentioned at all. No matter how one feels about the club, the fans, terrorism, or Roy Larner it seems notable.96.240.128.124 (talk) 02:46, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Location
There have been several modifications lately as to where the club is located. The article previously stated the club is in South Bermondsey, although that area falls (politically) into the borough of Southwark. I think few people would associate the club with being "in Southwark". Recent disputes around the stadium's future has been between the club and the borough of Lewisham, although I wouldn't consider the club to be located "in Lewisham". Perhaps we should try to reach a consensus as to the true location of Millwall today. A problem is that there is often a difference between a location politically and geographically. The SE16 postcode seems to be designated to Surrey Quays. Personally, I think the most appropriate description is "South Bermondsey, south-east London", without the need to mention a political borough. --TBM10 (talk) 02:24, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 10 April 2020
Chronological inclusion:

In November 2005, Peter de Savary succeeded as chairman of Millwall Holdings plc and as chairman of Millwall F.C.. Stewart Till succeeded him on 3 May 2006 as the football club chairman, and de Savary remained as chairman of Millwall Holdings plc until October 2006.

Replace with:

Upheaval, stability and first play-off success: 2005–2013
In 2005, Theo Paphitis announced that he was stepping down as chairman of the club with Jeff Burnige to replace him from May 2005. At the end of the 2004–05 season, manager Dennis Wise announced that he was leaving as he was unable to form a working relationship with the new chairman. Former Millwall striker Steve Claridge was announced as the new player-manager of Millwall. However, when Burnige then stepped down just two months after taking up the post, it was announced on 27 July that Claridge had been sacked after just 36 days, without ever taking charge of the team in a competitive match. Former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Colin Lee replaced him but lasted only five months in charge of the club. In November 2005, Peter de Savary succeeded as chairman of Millwall Holdings plc and as chairman of Millwall F.C.. Stewart Till succeeded him on 3 May 2006 as the football club chairman, and de Savary remained as chairman of Millwall Holdings plc until October 2006. On 21 December, with the club bottom of the Championship, he became the club's Director of Football and was replaced as manager by 32-year-old player Dave Tuttle, on a short-term contract until the end of the 2005–06 season. Tuttle had no prior experience in football management. In February 2006, Lee left the club altogether. Millwall experienced a difficult season, having had four managers in 2005. Their 13 goals scored at home was the second worst in Football League history. Their relegation to League One was confirmed on 17 April 2006 with a 2–0 loss against Southampton. In the closed season Nigel Spackman was appointed as the new manager, but he lasted only four months after a string of bad results. In September 2006, Theo Paphitis (chairman from 1997 to 2005) ended his nine-year association with the club after a year-long spell as a non-executive director. On 19 March 2007, Willie Donachie signed a two-year contract following some progress which had seen the club climb to 11th place in the league. Before Donachie took charge, Millwall had taken only six points from their first ten games. In the 2007–08 season Millwall sat bottom of the table at the beginning of October. Donachie was sacked on 8 October, with Richard Shaw and Colin West becoming caretaker managers. Thetremors (talk) 14:44, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Lola Albright

Lola Jean Albright (July 20, 1924 – March 23, 2017) was an American singer and actress, best known for playing the sultry singer Edie Hart, the girlfriend of private eye Peter Gunn, on all three seasons of the TV series Peter Gunn.

Early years
Albright was born in Akron, Ohio, to Marion A. (née Harvey) and John Paul Albright, both of whom were gospel music singers. Lola's mother also was born in Ohio but her father was a native of North Dakota, who in 1930 supported the family by working as an inspector in a local insulating business.

Albright attended King Grammar School and was graduated from West High School in Akron in 1942. She sang in public at a young age and studied piano for 20 years. Beginning when she was 15 years old, she worked after school as a receptionist at radio station WAKR in Akron. She left WAKR at the age of 18 and moved to Cleveland, taking a job as a stenographer at WTAM radio. Her first radio performance came on WJW in Cleveland. Moving to Chicago, she worked as a photographer's model and was discovered by a talent scout, which led to her moving to Hollywood at the age of 23.

Film
Albright made her motion-picture debut with a small singing role in the 1947 musical comedy The Unfinished Dance, and then appeared the following year in two Judy Garland movies: The Pirate and Easter Parade. She first gained studio and public notice in the 1949 film noir production Champion with her portrayal of the wife of a manipulative boxing manager; she falls for a prizefighter played by Kirk Douglas. For the next several years, she appeared in secondary roles in over 20 films, including several B Westerns. Among them was a co-starring role in the slapstick comedy The Good Humor Man in 1950 with future husband Jack Carson.

Some of the films in which Albright appeared were Tulsa (1949), starring Susan Hayward; The Silver Whip (1953), in which she played Dale Robertson's love interest; and The Tender Trap (1955), in which she was one of several women trying to trap a bachelor, played by Frank Sinatra, into marriage.

In the early 1950s, Albright was also a frequent model for pinup painter Gil Elvgren.

A Cold Wind in August
In 1961, she starred in Alexander Singer's A Cold Wind in August –a low-budget, black-and-white, independent film –as a divorced burlesque show stripper in her 30s who becomes involved in a torrid romance with a 17-year-old boy. Critic Pauline Kael offered high praise for Albright's performance. In 1985, The New York Times also lauded Albright's acting in the film. With respect to her personal assessment of her role in A Cold Wind in August, Albright said in 1961, "Some people come up to me and say, 'Lola, you shouldn't play that kind of part. It isn't you.' Well, I count to 10, bite my tongue, and then tell them that I'm an actress: I don't want to play myself."

Later films
Her performance in A Cold Wind in August gave fresh impetus to her film career, leading to roles in Elvis Presley's musical Kid Galahad in 1962, in which she played the hard-boiled, long-time girlfriend of a cynical boxing manager played by Gig Young, and in French director René Clément's Joy House as a wealthy widow with a passion for handing out meals to the poor (albeit with an ulterior motive). In Lord Love a Duck (1966) she portrayed a cocktail waitress who turns suicidal when she thinks she has ruined her daughter Tuesday Weld's life. The next year, she was in the Western epic The Way West.

She gave up her feature-film career in 1968 after completing her work in The Impossible Years, a generation-gap farce in which she performed as Alice Kingsley, the despairing wife of a professor of psychiatry played by David Niven and the mother of two teenaged daughters.

Television
Unlike other film actors who were slow to begin acting in television, Albright was actively working in the medium from 1951. She appeared on the anthology series Lux Video Theatre in the episode "Inside Story". Later she had a recurring role on The Bob Cummings Show in the 1950s, and made guest appearances on television series such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Thin Man, Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Laredo, Burke's Law, The Dick Van Dyke Show, My Three Sons, The Beverly Hillbillies, Bonanza (two episodes, including S6 E21 "The Search" 1965), The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Medical Center, Kojak, Columbo, McMillan & Wife, Quincy, M.E., Starsky & Hutch, The Incredible Hulk, and Branded.

In 1958, Albright was cast in Peter Gunn, the television detective series produced by Blake Edwards and scored by Henry Mancini. She played sultry Edie Hart, a nightclub singer and the romantic interest of Peter Gunn (Craig Stevens). "She was perfect casting for that role because she had an off-the-cuff kind of jazz delivery that was very hard to find," Mancini said in 1992. "Just enough to believe that she'd be singing in that club and that she shouldn't be on Broadway or doing movies." Over the course of 114 episodes produced for Peter Gunn, Albright sang in 38 of them, covering jazz classics such as "How High the Moon", "A Good Man Is Hard to Find", "Easy Street", and "Day In, Day Out".

When actress Dorothy Malone had to undergo emergency surgery, Albright filled in for her as the character Constance MacKenzie on the primetime soap opera Peyton Place. At the time, Albright called the role "one of the biggest challenges of my theatrical career." She continued to perform in films and to make guest appearances on television until her retirement in 1984.

Music
Columbia Records signed Albright as a vocalist, leading to the release of her album Lola Wants You in 1957. Albright's subsequent role on Peter Gunn and her performances singing on that series led directly to her second album, Dreamsville (1959), which was arranged by Henry Mancini and featured his orchestra. Albright is one of the few nonmovie-soundtrack singers for whom Mancini arranged.

Recognition
In 1959, Albright was nominated for the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress (Continuing Character) in a Dramatic Series for her work on Peter Gunn. In 1966, she won the Silver Bear for Best Actress award at the 16th Berlin International Film Festival for her role in Lord Love a Duck.

Personal life
Albright married and divorced three times. Her first marriage, to Cleveland radio announcer Warren K. Deem, occurred in 1944. They divorced in 1949. From 1951 to 1958, her second husband was actor Jack Carson, who had been her co-star in The Good Humor Man (1950). (Another source says that they married August 1, 1952, and divorced November 10, 1958.)

Following her retirement from acting, Albright spent her remaining years living in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles. In 2014, she fell and fractured her spine, an injury that contributed to a general decline in her health over the next three years. On March 23, 2017, Albright died at her home at the age of 92.

Unitary Democratic Coalition

The Unitary Democratic Coalition (CDU – Coligação Democrática Unitária, CDU) is an electoral and political coalition between the Portuguese Communist Party (Partido Comunista Português or PCP) and the Ecologist Party "The Greens" (Portuguese: Partido Ecologista "Os Verdes" or PEV). The coalition also integrates the political movement Democratic Intervention (Intervenção Democrática or ID).

The coalition was formed in 1987 in order to run to the simultaneous legislative election and European Parliament election that were held on July 19 of that year. It achieved its best result in the 1987 elections both nationally and locally. From 1991 until 2019, the party consistently won between six and ten percent of the national vote in elections to the Assembly of the Republic until 2022 and 2024, in which the coalition dropped below 5% nationally for the first time. The coalition supported the minority Socialist Costa Government from 2015 until 2019 with a confidence and supply agreement.

History
Since the beginning of the coalition, the member parties have never participated separately in any election. The Communist Party is the major force of the coalition and has the majority of places in the electoral lists while the Greens are a smaller party. For example, the Greens were responsible for 2 members of parliament among the 17 elected by the coalition in the 2015 legislative election. Each party has its own parliamentary group and counts as a separate party in official issues.

Along with the Left Bloc, the coalition supported the minority Socialist Costa Government from 2015 until 2019 under a confidence and supply agreement. This was known as the "Geringonça" (Contraption) deal, a setup that Prime minister António Costa decided to end following the 2019 elections.

In the 2022 election, the CDU won six seats while the Greens achieved zero seats. In the 2024 election, the CDU won four seats and the Greens zero, with the coalition achieving just 3.3 percent of the votes. In 2024, the coalition lost their historic seat in the Beja district and for the first time lost all MPs in the Alentejo region.

Symbol
The present symbol of CDU shows the PCP's symbol and the PEV's symbol, a hammer and sickle and a sunflower, respectively, with the respective names below. That symbol replaced a former one that featured three hexagons with the inscription: CDU and was often used with a beehive. That was sometimes said to mean that CDU worked just like a bee (collectively and every day) and the hexagons were meant to represent the cell-based Leninist organization of the PCP.

Youth organization
The coalition has a youth wing, called Juventude CDU, that develops political work in youth related subjects, along with youth-oriented activities, mainly during the electoral campaigns. The Juventude CDU is mainly composed by members of the youth wings of the parties that compose the CDU, the Portuguese Communist Youth and the Ecolojovem.

Talk:Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

Hahahaha
By the time this album was released, the Flaming Lips had been on a major label for 10 years. A decade. WHY ARE THEY STILL CONSIDERED INDIE ROCK? THEY ARE NOT ON AN INDEPENDENT LABEL, THEY HAVE BEEN ON WARNER BROS FOR 10 YEARS AS OF THIS RELEASE, SOMEBODY CHANGE THIS BEFORE I REALLY BLOW ONE

 * So, did you blow one?

 * The style is indie rock, since if you compare their first album to rock and roll of the era, you would have to consider it "indie" in comparison to mainstream rock.

 * No need to write in capslock. The above comment is correct, 'Indie' is not just a status any more, it is commonly used to reffer to a certain type of genre or sound.

---To be fair, their style is pretty lush and involved for "indie".

Why can't they just go back to being called what they are: Post-punk? At least it does more to describe their sound than "indie", the only genre whose descriptive ability is more worthless than "alternative"

Psych- or prog-rock seem like they'd both be apt...moreso than the ever-less-useful "indie" tag, anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.217.231.6 (talk) 17:38, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Wtf?
From the article: "Some listeners consider Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots to be a concept album, but the storyline is unclear." This is true only for those who don't "get it" when they listen to the album. Unclear to who? RobertAustin 23:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

-If you know exactly what it's about, why don't you explain? I heard these guys on Sound Opinions in September 07, and they said that everyone thinks that Yoshimi kills the robot, but really he kills himself and she can't bring herself to tell anyone because they all think she is such a hero. She knows there is a lot to learn from the robot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.111.56.152 (talk) 02:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

The album is unclear in that it doesn't directly state what happens, I suppose. There are numerous ways to interpret it. Mengsk (talk) 20:01, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

It's art, man. All art has hidden meaning, including music, but that doesn't make it concept art. The song's meanings, whether intended or not, are irrelevant: it's just not instrumentally experimental enough to be a concept album. The more important question is: who says it's a concept album? -Keith (Hypergeek14)Talk 08:52, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Reference?
Can anyone provide a source for the Broadway Musical section? Sounds far-fetched to me.

Cat Stevens reference
Cat Stevens is referenced as being "now Yusuf Islam" in the first section of the article; should this clause be removed now he has (debatably) changed his name? Which is the correct name to use? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moonwater21 (talk • contribs) 00:35, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

= Album Art work = Does anyone know who the artist is for the cover the the albums?

Wayne Coyne drew this and some of the other more recent ones. Beautiful art. --Rikkyc (talk) 23:40, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
