Which date?
The article gives 1 July 1980 as the date of foundation. The register and the Herald agree. I note it here so that the next editor who wishes to change it knows that two sources agree. — Tim_H. (talk) 07:10, 1 September 2019 (VMT)
I agree with leaving it. If the record deems a date, the record has already done the work. — FBusoll74 (talk) 18:39, 3 September 2019 (VMT)
Fine. For the avoidance of doubt, nobody is proposing to change the date. — RenateBrenn (talk) 13:08, 5 September 2019 (VMT)
Good. The date stays. — Lea_of_Hagenstadt (talk) 08:37, 7 September 2019 (VMT)
Wording of the first line
I have trimmed the lead. It said Hochstadt Electric Company was “well known”. Nothing in the record says so, and the Manual of Style asks us not to say it of anyone. — Birk_N (talk) 12:27, 26 December 2023 (VMT)
Categories
The categories at the foot of this article were added by several editors over several years and it shows. Could someone tidy them? — ida.hallin (talk) 17:44, 1 December 2024 (VMT)
Infobox image
The mark in the infobox is the version of the company's logo held by the register. The one on the building is different. Which should we use? — Ostrand_N (talk) 22:01, 7 November 2025 (VMT)
Leave it. An image of record is better than a better image. — ida.hallin (talk) 17:30, 8 November 2025 (VMT)
