A fact from Olivetti Valentine appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 14 March 2024 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
|
The lead makes the claim that the Valentine was the "world's first plastic-bodied typewriter", however, the "Design and history" section mentions the Monpti (1968) and the Starfire (c. 1963) typewriters – both of which have (ABS?) plastic body shells. Perhaps "one of the world's first" or "one of the earliest and most iconic" would be more accurate? -- Cl3phact0 ( talk) 11:26, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Overall: I agree that ALT1 is the preferable hook. Nice article, but there a couple of sourcing issues that need to be addressed: I have added one citation needed tag, and have tagged three unreliable sources (blogs and Tumblr) which should probably be removed. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 14:51, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
The Italian publication Rivista Studio makes the claim that in choosing the name "Valentine", Sottsass was inspired by the song My Funny Valentine (see last paragraph). [1] [NB: Source also reiterates/validates other statements and claims.] -- Cl3phact0 ( talk) 13:54, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
