Talk:Representation theory/Old

message: Currently the article is a disambiguation, distinguishing between group representation and representation of Boolean algebras. 
I think that the term "representation theory" is overwhelmingly used for group representation (both in real life and in Wikipedia).  Of course there are many other representation theorems (I am just starting the relevant article, please join me), and anybody working on improving such a theorem or finding a new or better one might be said to do "representation theory", but I do not think this terminology is standard. 
So I think that the article should go back to a redirect (to group representation); this article should then also link to  other representation theorems.

Talk:Cotia

message: I'm moving this text from the article space. If someone would like to translate it, that would be great.
Apesar do clima da cidade ser agradável, o que há de mais típico na cidade é o total e completo descaso com o bem -estar de seus munícipes. 
Infelizmente a urbanização corre acelerada e o povoamento da cidade é caótico. No centro pouco são os sinais da história. Além da igreja da matriz, tombada como patrimônio cultural, apenas algumas poucas casinhas ainda mantém o velho estilo arquitetônico tão em voga no passado. 
O centro da cidade, infelizmente, se resume ao emaranhado de lojas e estabelecimentos comerciais (além de camelos) que tiram todo o encanto.

Talk:Physical Review

message: I hesitated to create a trivia section (a dubious practice at best) for the single item about Tom Lehrer's show "The Physical Revue".
And still more sadly, reviewing the first 100 of "about 600" Google hits on

offered no instances of them in the same sentence.  I had hoped for evidence that the clever bit about "reading physical review" meaning looking at the "pictorial" articles in Playboy was more than a passing amusement between two grad students, or within one department.

Talk:Phyletic gradualism

message: The article suggests that Darwin´s assertion of gradualness of evolution was related with the later concept of phyletic gradualism, but it was not quite, as far as I know. Darwin also did asserted that evolution can occur more rapidly and slowly sometimes, which can be seen as an early acknowledgement of the patterns of evolution described as punctuated equilibria, punctuated gradualism, quantum evolution, etc. The sense of "gradual" that Darwin refers has to to more with a continuousness of phenotypic variation in populations, ie, in opposition to more abrupt variation such those proposed in saltationist theories. This continuum of variation is held in punctuated equilibrium and etc. Those are not really catastrophist or saltationist theories. More on the subject can be read in the text "All you need to know about Punctuated Equilibrium (almost)", by Douglas Theobald. 
A summary of the issue can be said to be, that there are two different classes of conceptual opposition: gradualism X saltationsm, is one, which has nearly nothing to do with phyletic gradualism X punctuated equilibria (and kin), in which gradualism, in usually assumed on all sides. --Extremophile 15:19, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Consumers' co-operative

message: "Since consumer cooperatives are run democratically, they are subject to the same problems typical of democratic government"
This part is marked as needing a citation- but it doesn't just need a citation, it needs some elaboration. You can't make a statement like this without mentioning which problems you are talking about. Someone more knowledgable on the subject should add something here.
It's a good idea to check the history of an article. Changes are often not improvements. 
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Consumers%27_co-operative&oldid=87498665
Because consumers' co-operatives are run democratically they are subject to some of the same problems of democratic government: the selection of incompetent or dishonest management, poor business planning, deficit spending, etc. Problems such as these can generally be avoided by providing member/owners with educational materials that inform often and honestly as regard to business conditions. A helpful study of practices that are detrimental to a consumer owned business is provided by Problems Of Cooperation, by James Peter Warbasse. Bkobres (talk) 21:58, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
