Talk:Countervailing power

message: There is a broad literature on countervailing power and countervailence theory that is not mentioned in the article.  For example, one book that provides a decent overview by Gordon has over 20 references to countervailance in the Index covering Athens, Rome, the Venetian Republic, medieval law, the Dutch Republic, 17th-century England, colonial America, and modern Britain, while mentioning Montesquieu and others.  There is much more to be done to expand this article.N2e (talk) 12:45, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: — Finally got back to this article after five years away.  I've stubbed out a history section, and rewritten the lede, to reflect countervailance political theory more broadly, at least back to Medieval times.  Galbraith's particular 20th century theory is thus framed by a history that goes much further back. (although I did not quickly locate a source for the Galbraith claims, as the original source is now a deadlink.)  Will need to get back here sometime to stretch it back to some of Aristotle's writings to show deeper roots yet for countervailance in Western thought, and take a look at what has been written in secondary sources about the ideas of Lao Tzu on the matter of dispersed political power.  Cheers.  N2e (talk) 13:57, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Countervailence is about much more than Galbraith

message: In the 20th century, "Countervailing Power" is a theory of political modification of markets, formulated by American economist John Kenneth Galbraith in his 1952 book American Capitalism. In the classic liberal economy, goods and services are provided and prices set by free bargaining. According to Galbraith, modern economies give massive powers to large business corporations to bias this process, and there arise 'countervailing' powers in the form of trade unions, citizens' organizations and so on, to offset business's excessive advantage

Subject: Root Fire vs Root Fire****
Hello,
I would like to inquire as to whether the Bedouin Soundclash album /Root
Fire/ is properly known as /Root Fire/ or /Root Fire****/.  In particular,
this information would be useful for correct representation of the band's
work on Wikipedia.org and similar sites.
In a similar vein, is the band name properly spelled Soundclash or
SoundClash?
Thanks,

Talk:Lance Russell

message: There's enough available on the web to greatly expand this page, BTW.  For right now, though, I wanted to touch on the subject of his full name.
A brief excursion to intelius.com would lead one to indicate that Lance's full name is Lanier Lance Russell.  I have a faint recollection of having heard this same name from another source in the past.  Unfortunately, I wouldn't have any such sources readily at hand at the present time.
Any thoughts, discussion, etc. on whether this is worth investigating further?

thread_title:  Full name? 

message: First off, I did once again revise and expand this article offline.  I haven't posted it because I haven't had time to review web sources in enough depth.  I'll see what I can do.  Since all that's been done so far by anyone else in the almost 6 years this article has existed is to provide a meaningless, trivial reference because it's a BLP and would have been subject to deletion without one, don't expect me to rush to it.
I've been vocal in recent years in insisting that Lance Russell be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.  That's off-topic for this page, but I wanted to ask about a related issue.  I am to understand that there is a shoot interview out there which states that Jerry Lawler wanted Lance Russell to induct him into the HoF.  Since the typical WWF/E fanatic of 2007 likely wasn't even alive in Russell's heyday, it's understandable why it didn't happen.  Anyone know anything more about this?RadioKAOS (talk) 00:17, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Is this comment about the Soviets stealing a factory and bringing it back to the USSR to making Trabants reliable? This is not documented anywhere.

As the Soviet Administration inexplicably banned the foreign exportation of the P240, the East German economic administration decided to stop production of the vehicle.

Brando and Fonda seem to belong there. African Americans have the same confusing dual categories.

Talk:Australian bass

message: I am advocating the use of the singular for a species like Australian Bass, for example, "The Australian Bass is", not "Australian Bass are". In scientific writing for a lay audience this seems clearer because we are talking about the characteristics of any individual in the species, not a collection of individuals. This is the convention adopted by most museum guides and other books by scientific institutions. Robertwhyteus (talk) 08:51, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  The use of singular for species.  

message: I have reverted a large number of edits made in sequence to the article.  I have done this for two reasons.  Firstly the changes introduce incorrect capitalisation of fish names - these are not proper nouns and should not be capitalised except where part of the name is itself a proper noun - for example Australian bass, whereas golden perch is not capitalised.  Secondly, the edits remove a large amount of information without any explanation and I simply do not have the time right now to untangle the good parts of the edit and the content removal.  In future if you want to make extensive changes to an article please discuss it here.  Also, please provide explanations for individual edits lest they be mistaken for vandalism. - Nick Thorne talk 02:28, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

I am the primary author of this article, and put a lot of effort into writing it, and sourcing and referencing excellent scientific information for it.

I was pretty upset to see that someone had unilaterally deleted half of the article's content and made it fairly crap.
