Talk:Societas Europaea

Gettin' specific

I added 'as of 2003, no registration has been published.' after checking the Official Journal of the European Communities online. Please rectify if this is incorrect. -- Kaihsu Tai 17:25, 2003 Dec 27 (UTC)

But dont Scandinavian states have both a single-tier board of directors and co-determination (even directly by unions)? Then whats the point of this:"In states with these provisions, the corporation has two boards, a management board (which handles the day-to-day operation of the company) and the supervisory board (which elects and oversees the management board, and reports back to shareholders and employees). This division is effected in part to avoid direct involvement of employee representatives in day-to-day management. Companies in states without worker involvement provisions tend to have unitary boards of directors instead." It doesnt seem too relevant anyways. Im going to delete this part, someone revert if discussion is first required. --83.131.139.215 14:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

"European Companies" today

The German Wikipedia has a list with the following companies which apparently have converted to SE status:

- Allianz SE

- Fresenius SE

- Conrad Electronic SE

- and from Austria: STRABAG SE

Also the following companies are mentioned to be in the process of converting soon:

- Porsche AG

- BASF AG

Surely there must be some others using the SE statute aside the Germans and the Austrians? :)

'ownership'

So what is the 'ownership' status of 'SE' companies? Are they public? And how does the shareholder controls compare to a national legislature such as 'plc' or 'AG'? Perhaps someone can clarify this - both briefly in the lead paragraph, and then in more detail in an appropriate sub-heading. Thanks 78.32.143.113 (talk) 10:57, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Article on European company

At the moment, a search for "European company" lands you on this page about European company regulation. We also need a "European company" article that says what a European company is; de.wikipedia has quite a good one (Europäische Gesellschaft) that we could translate, or at least summarize as a starting point.

European Company Regulation → Societas Europaea – This is the commonly used name used in reference to this company type. For instance: BRIEF-Rocket Internet changes legal form and transforms into Societas Europaea. The article name should be italicised. --Relisted.

Orphaned references in Societas Europaea

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Societas Europaea's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "history":

• From Strabag: STRABAG: History
• From Fresenius (company): "History - Fresenius".
• From Getlink: "History". Eurotunnel. 1984-11-30. Archived from the original on 2010-11-23. Retrieved 2010-04-27.
• From Wittenstein: History of WITTENSTEIN - Website of WITTENSTEIN SE – Retrieved on April 7th 2017.
• From Sealine: "Sealine motorboats through the ages". Motor Boat & Yachting. 1 May 2013.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 11:53, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Article illustration image in mobile app

In the official mobile Wikipedia app (at least for android), articles seem to always show one image from the article prominently at the top. For this article, this photo of Chanel Iman modelling for Christian Dior SE is displayed without any information about how it relates to the type of public company the article is about; only the caption in the actual article further below explains it. That's sufficient for the desktop and mobile site, but a bit confusing for the app. It appears that it's possible to add a caption to the photo on its Commons page, but I guess that caption would then be displayed even when the photo is used elsewhere in a different context; thus, I'm not sure if adding a caption specifically for its use to illustrate an SE would be a good idea or not. Is there a way to add a caption specifically for display in the mobile app? JPMH (talk) 04:24, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
