Surface area to volume ratio[edit]

Hi, I came to this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio and your graph as I was working on a lesson for a lab I teach at our local community college.

I am not sure I understand all that you show on the graph, thus I'm trying to contact you. I really like the way you show so many shapes. What do the blue lines at 70 and 280 indicate?

Also, there are no unit labels on either axis. Why is this?

How did you come to collaborate on this page? Do you know who wrote the content?

Thanks gleejb

Also, I couldn't help notice that you have "glee" in your user name. Could I ask why? I'm <gleejb> because glee is my middle name, and j & b are my other initials.

Hi Gleejb, Thanks for your message and compliment. The length unit is arbitary, as long as they are powers of the same unit i.e. the surface area is in unit² (e.g. furlong²) and volume in unit³ (e.g. furlong³). The blue lines show that when the volume is increased 8 (i.e. 2³) times (50 to 400), the surface area increases 4 (i.e. 2²) times (70 to 280).

The way Wikipedia works is that anyone can edit the content (of unlocked pages, including Surface-area-to-volume ratio). On 14 June 2013, I found the previous graph misleading and drew an earlier version of the current graph. Talk:Surface-area-to-volume_ratio#Misleading_Graph has the discussion on it. Re who wrote the content, see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Surface-area-to-volume_ratio&action=history .

Nice middle name you have! Its being in my nick is, I suppose, serendipitous. The nick actually comprises three initials and a family name. Nevertheless, glad to know of another "glee" :-)

Best wishes in your lab lesson preparation,

Comment request for HappyOrNot[edit]

Hello Cmglee! You commented HappyOrNot earlier and I've edited it since. Could you take another look and see if the warnings added a year ago are still valid? The diff is here. Thank you! Jjanhone (talk) 15:14, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jjanhone,

To be frank, I'm neither an expert on NPOV nor particularly concerned one way or another about your company. My only involvement was adding File:Feedback_automat.jpg and giving my opinion on the article when asked. My only concern is that your being an insider of the company, there is a conflict of interest, and it is likely very difficult to have an impartial perspective.

Cheers,

Original research[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Jessen's icosahedron, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you.

Especially, please do not do this to recently-promoted Good Articles, as by doing so you are endangering the article's Good Article status. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:01, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
