thread_title: group

message: Is it right to write that the spherical shape is suboptimal and is what restricts growth? 
Growth restriction: assuming it's only the outermost layer that gets enough light to grow, this situation shouldn't change as the ball grows further. Unless the core disintegrates, trouble only starts when the ball is so big it can't roll or get deformed under its own weight. Marimo balls seem to stop before this happens.
Sphere as suboptimal:
It is true that a sphere has the lowest surface area to volume possible, which means that as little as possible of the algae cells are out in the open. But the surface area of a sphere is 4*π*r^2 whereas the area of the lakebottom under the ball, a circle, is only π*r^2. That gives 4 times as much area exposed to light and fresh water as a flat mat would get, for a given amount of available lakebottom. 
But the math gives another reason for restricting the size of the marimo ball. When you split a spherical mossball into two new spherical mossballs, the sum of their volumes are of course the same as that of the original ball, but between them, they have 26% more surface area! That makes it beneficial for the marimo to be in several smaller balls instead of one big. EverGreg 12:28, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Duty of fair representation

message: It might be an idea to generalize the article a bit to other countries.  Having recently filed a Duty of fair representation complaint against my union, I can say that the components are the same in Canada.  The main differences seem to be that here, the duty of fair representation is part of legislation and adjudicated by provincial (or federal, for the minority of unions under federal jurisdiction) labour relations boards.  Such complaints have very low success rates (typically less than 2%).  I am guessing that other common law countries have similar duties with similar definitions for arbitrary, discriminatory and bad faith representation. Derek Pyne2 (talk) 22:20, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

message: In her biography, Marcia M Mathews wrote that Tanner was headed
for Rome, "the home of art; and Edmonia Lewis, the outstanding
Negro sculptress had been trained in Rome," when he decided to
stay in Paris.
Lewis had won a gold medal in 1871 in Naples and had many
European customers as well as Americans. A copy of her bust
of Longfellow recently turned up in the UK. She caused a 
sensation in 1876 with her DEATH OF CLEOPATRA and was invited
to show it two years later at a Chicago expo.

Robinson's The Power, published in 1956 and made into a 1958 Studio One episode and 1968 film, all predating Neutzsky-Wulff's 1972 Adam Harts Opdagelser. Does anyone know if Neutzsky-Wulff's name and/or character was inspired by Robinson's? Did Neutzsky-Wulff mention it in any author's notes?

Talk:List of companies of China

message: I'm puzzled by the inclusion of this section - has the founders of the listed companies in this section formally stated that their respective companies belongs to the PRC or is set up on behalf of the PRC, or is this section included because the founders are from the PRC but not necessarily have any affiliation with the nation? If it's the latter, I don't know if this section belongs in this article because we would have to list all the companies in each country (i.e. the United States) with founders of various nationalities as their country of origin being the nationality of the company (for example, Goldman Sachs would be listed as a German company because its founders were either from Germany or were first generation German-Americans).Satanstorm (talk) 20:28, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Tennent Caledonian

message: Tennents in the 1980s used to have pictures of Glamorous women on the cans for the Drink. Does anyone have good pictures of this?
Also interested in a football competition that Tennents used to sponsor called the Tennents 6s.

The ladies on the cans were known as the Lager Lovelies, and sticking that all up in your google will get you glamorous womahood to your heart's content. We should have a page on them, though, since it was a well-known, long-lived and popular marketing campaign.
Tennents' Sixes already has an entry of its own.
Personally, i'm wondering if in this phrase:
"[...] Tennent's Super Ale, which is traditionally served warm straight from the can"
Whether 'served' is the right term. And 'traditionally', for that matter. Not that i'm disputing its accuracy at all, i should add.

I strongly oppose this move.  The formal name of the company includes the PLC designation.  In fact, looking at their latest results we should be moving it to The Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries, PLC.  In Wikipedia we should be aiming for accuracy.  The history of brewing in the UK and the rest of the world is a tangled web of company buy-outs, mergers and take-overs, and we should make every attempt to be as precise as possible in recording these corporate changes.  In the UK in particular, the facts are complicated by the Government rules that separated the brewing trade from the licensed trade, and similar sounding companies could have totally different functions.
