Smallest constituent of the Russell 2000

Hi. What is the smallest company by market cap in the Russell 2000? It is easy to find the largest ($7.8 billion), average ($2.9 billion) and median ($1.0 billion), but I cannot find the market capitalization of the smallest component of the index. a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 13:22, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I asked someone working at the CME Group (author of this article about the Russell 2000) and they don't know either... a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 10:27, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Eikou no Napoleon - Eroica

Rosalie works as a seamstress in an atelier named Maison Guinan, or also "La Rose de Guinan", in Place Vendôme, Paris. Can you find if it was a real-life or fictional place? Thank you.

The map at Place Vendôme#Hôtels particuliers names all the buildings in the Place, with none bearing that name. However some of those buildings evidently housed various dress designers' salons (as well as various other establishments), so the manga's use of the location is historically authentic, if not necessarily factually accurate. It would take an expert on Parisian history with access to appropriate archives to delve into the level of detail necessary to prove the existence or nonexistance of a "Maison Guinan" there. It might be easier to contact the author Riyoko Ikeda and ask her directly.

The character Rosalie Chatelet (née Lamorlière) is based on a real person, and our article references a biography of her, which you might obtain and consult. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.213.18.208 (talk) 19:26, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Methinks you have just posed a possible example to answer the question in another desk (maybe Entertainment) about the distinction between authenticity and accuracy. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:07, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If that biography is the book Rosalie Lamorlière: Dernière servante de Marie-Antoinette, it labels itself as a "historical novel",^[1] not an acknowledged hallmark of accuracy. --Lambiam 06:54, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps, then, the article should be edited to indicate that, as currently it states "The book details the life of Lamorlière and her correspondence with Marie Antoinette" giving no indication of non-factuality. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.213.18.208 (talk) 08:08, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rosalie Chatelet is only in part modeled after her, then you should search in the real-life Paris locations during the end of XVIII century. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.207.167.112 (talk) 13:08, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
