Nissan Leaf

Welcome again. You continue doing a great job, but please avoid non encyclopedic content (not all details about the car are) because you risk having your edits reversed. Also when a ref is already name, there is no need to repeat the entire content, just < ref name= xxx/ > should suffice. Finally, read carefully WP:Original research you can not take a piece of info and add your own content (though in general you are doing a nice copyedit improvement). Please remember that the article is rated WP:GA and we are trying to keep the level of quality to avoid losing that status. Cheers.--Mariordo (talk) 03:56, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A suggestion: if you have interest, it might be a good idea to create a specific article about the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, which now is only a redirect to the California section in the government incentives articles. That article would be the right place to expand about California's rebate and actually the CVRV website has a lot of information that is relevant for such new article. Expanding too much on this rebate in any of the electric car articles or even in the government incentives articles is considered undue weight (see WP:UNDUE) and goes against the international view that such articles should have. Let me know in my talk page if you decide to go ahead with such article, I am willing to help you. A good start would be to copy most of the existing content in the Government incentives for plug-in electric vehicles#California (and remove the redirect content). Best regards.--Mariordo (talk) 04:14, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
