784:. It is part of the "look and feel" of Knowledge (XXG). There is no reason whatsoever for us to be even tackling the elusive task of determining "most common used" because it isn't relevant. If we follow consistent, systematic rules, that is quite enough. Google results are often useless or deceptive in such cases anyway. Consider the fact that while a search for "kWh" gets 12,200,000 hits, a search for "kWh" but not "kWĀ·h" gets only 610,000 hits. And, like you said, many of those hits on the simplest search are for "kwh" rather than "kWh"; you forgot to mention the "KWH" hits, and you didn't even try to search for "KWHR" which gets hundreds fo thousands of hits. Of course, searching for kWĀ·h will also find people who write it kw/h even though this unit involves a multiplication, and not a division, but "kWĀ·h" and not "kWh" gets 6,620,000 hits, more than 10 times as much as the other way around. 1791:
issue with which I have to cope regularly in the aerospace field in the U.S. In the past week alone I was asked to replace or provide conversions for kg and km to lb and ft or nm in a presentation I am drafting. Interestingly (and sadly IMHO), this request was made to satisfy young engineers as well as the graybeards ā€“ and that despite the considerable transition to metric that has been made in the field over the past couple of decades. In any case, requiring a universal change to metric in technical articles would require a massive amount of work on aircraft- and aerospace-related articles that would, ironically, result in the introduction of extensive ā€œfalse-precisionā€ in the main units of measure. (In working with numbers from

quarter inch off. For that matter, itā€™s not always easy to tell when one is dealing with an already converted number in the first place. It turned out that three of the aircraft I had to provide conversions for in my presentation for work were non-UK European aircraft whose original source had been in English units of measure; I would have assumed otherwise. Accordingly, I agree with PMA that conversions of round numbers should be handled with care (although 30 m would seem a better significant-figure conversion of a round 100 ft), although Iā€™m not sure his proposed bullet statement wouldnā€™t be better placed in the subsection on Conversions.
688:. In fact, that one belongs over at the bugzilla thread, where I'm headed now. On the other hand, typesetters' characters of all kinds become less common every year in persuasive online writing, since so many people are doing their own copyediting these days. (But on the other other hand, how could Knowledge (XXG) possibly do without multiplication dots in technical articles?) All things considered, I wouldn't mind a consensus to use the mid-dot, and if somehow we can do that quickly, it will help us make progress at bugzilla. 6156:
is special to Knowledge (XXG). Decades are not special to Knowledge (XXG). I would find it unfortunate, but acceptable, to keep the page names if people have gotten used to them , as long as the first sentence on the page is honest: "Wikipedians have found it quicker to type "1700s" and easier to fit that into tables than "1700ā€“1709". However, be aware that in formal English and in Knowledge (XXG) mainspace articles, no one uses "1700s" in this sense, so do not write a link as ], always write ] or ]." - Dan
684:. I would love it if someone else indexes the WT:MOSNUM archives, because there are so many words and I wasn't here for most of it. Regarding the · ... the official SI link says to use them, and it would be great if the current bugzilla debate doesn't have to consider hard spaces between units because the "official" position is to use a mid-dot; that would help get us over the hump at bugzilla. There's also a relevant user-interface principle here, the 5603:. There are some (unconfirmed) claims that SI specifically advocates against it. I believe some of you have been through this discussion before, but I haven't got time to find everything that was said in various places and read all of it. Is there one place where we document the rationale behind the decisions that lead to the current MOS? Could somebody help me summarize all discussions, so we have something to point to when the argument pops up again?-- 1562:
and take no interest in incompatible units for the same purpose created by other trades/professions, the metric system started to head in the same balkanized mess as earlier units. SI selected a set of coherent units from the various metric units, which are intended to be the one and only set of units to be used in every trade, every profession, every country, and every language. Everyone who uses non-SI metric units has a medieval guild habit of thought.

as a geeky practice that no one but mathematicians is likely to understand, with most users experiencing strings like that as a bunch of separate numbers. Just because some people have spent inordinate amounts of time developing elegant templates to do something doesn't mean that doing them makes any sense on WP. If I really did miss an overwheming consensus shift, then we at least need to make the spaces way smaller, like half that size.
3850:. Please check it out. You can see where itā€™s having problems and maybe that will guide you in other directions. As you will see there, I tried all 100 progressions that end with two-digit groupings from 00ā€“99. I also added 100 progressions with three-digit groupings from 000ā€“099. It shows that numbers ending with two-digit groupings like 25 or three-digit groupings like 026 can be a problem. The patterns are unobvious. Maybe someone who 1332:
the accuracy of the second number as much as the accuracy of the first number; there will be a rounding error, at the least, and you won't be able to extract any fine-grained information from the number of significant digits used. So if the U.S. unit is given first, that makes it less likely that accurate information will travel between other Wikipedias and the English Knowledge (XXG), or travel from or to anyone outside the U.S. - Dan
6575:(despite the one-year offset). Anyone actually looking for the decade would be able to go there straight from the navigation table which appears on all the century pages (once the link had been changed in the template). So those seeking the century click only once; those after the decade (probably a small minority) click twice. No need for a disambiguation page for a term which in the real world is barely ambiguous at all.-- 748:
for me whether it's a good idea to string units together without a mid-dot. I'm hoping for a result from the bugzilla discussion that "uncommon" one- and two-letter words don't wind up at the beginning of a line, and this might mean that we don't have to worry about a no-break space in some cases. Obviously, this is an area that requires careful description before prescription.

borders, and almost no one who's comfortable with both systems actually prefers the U.S. units. Also, SI is used consistently in science and tech and in many consumer products. I'm just guessing here, but I'd say somewhere between 100 million and 200M people in the U.S., a country of 300M, feel uncomfortable with metric units. That's in a world of 6.7 billion.

the input to the template. So it would be like {{formatnum|integer|mantissa|accuracy|exponent|unit}}. With an example of use {{formatnum|1000|.0001}} (note the dot). This would allow easier manipulation of the fractional part and double the maximum number of digits. Also, as remarked by above by Tony, a leading explicit "+" sign should be maintained. āˆ’
2243:, where the distinction matters, though in that article it looks like someone sloppily applied a Google conversion of the metric value to square international miles as I got the same value as that article now has, including an errant extra significant digit in the converted value. In survey square miles the value would be 16,915,293, not 16,915,360 5764:, ] simply tempts them to click on a link that will take them to a page that 1) typically takes a long time to load, and 2) has almost no relevance to the article they're reading. I don't monitor ] linking to direct my editing efforts. If someone does, now is the time to speak up! In addition, I also agree that continued use of 'As of xxxx' 274:
engineering experience was that Ī¼ in writing was common up to the early eighties, but after that Ī¼m was generally used. (The computers back then often didn't support Greek letters, and sometimes didn't even support lower-case, so "u" was often substituted for "Ī¼".) The word micron was often spoken long after the written form had become "Ī¼m". --
6221:, we will see a pile of people who reasonably thought they were wikilinking to 1700-1799, unless someone has been very diligent (sad that they had to waste the time) at correcting the links. I'm tied up with a pile of wikistuff at the moment, but I'll come back to this fight when I can. "No jargon" is one of the 6 "well-written" criteria at 308:
word "micron" often, still, in 2008. I wouldn't object to prescriptive language; it's certainly true that "micron" has not been in SI for a while, although it continues to be used in other contexts. I'm just saying that I don't think we're going to get wide compliance. This isn't a killer, it's just something to think about. - Dan
5703:. You also claim a couple of prior discussions, but I see no mention of them on that talk page, and therefore they must be somewhat tainted discussions. The people who might be using this should be made aware of the discussion, rather than the people watching MoS pages trying to dictate in a vacuum. Should be mentioned at 3282:
template-based method that was foreseen. Note however, that maybe 95% of the time, values will be a single digit in the integer portion and most of the digits will be in the fractinoal side. It could be that this might be enough of a problem that it canā€™t be considered as ā€œready for prime time.ā€ However the

standardization of symbols by the CGPMā€”and it is still far too often used for grams; I've fixed it in many Knowledge (XXG) articles, yet there are likely still several using it here. The Ā² character can be used for the "g/mĀ²" variant, but that doesn't work with the negative exponents in the other format.

I guess I should add, I was just noticing yesterday that people had previously been giving VanTucky a hard time in his RfA for "civility issues" and I thought "oh crap, he's the nicest guy I've met here, I'm in deep, deep trouble". So I guess I should say: my "tinfoil hats" comment was probably less
5336:
Um, since when was there any consensus at all that this weird and user-confusing spacing of long numbers was going to be sanctioned by MOS in the first place? I realize I've been off doing other things for a while but the last time I checked in on that debate, there was a strong majority against it,
4975:
Woodstone, I tend to agree with you; it doesnā€™t look very promising that anyoneā€”even Zockyā€”can overcome the fundamental limitations of templates. Perhaps in the future, templates will have access to character-based parser functions. Unless Zocky pulls a rabbit out of the hat on this one, it seems the
4959:
My overall impression here is that the fundamental way of working in the template is too vulnerable. If so many special cases need to be distinguished and remedied, we can never be sure the output will be dependable. You never reacted to my suggestion above to split the integer and fractional part in
3373:
Clearly, given that there are still some problems with some values, Iā€™m withdrawing my proposal that the template be formally made available for general use. Zocky and I both worked hard to proof-check the template and thought it had been thorougly wrung out. I can now see it wasnā€™t. Iā€™ll continue to
3132:
The effect of this proposed policy, if adopted, is that new editors who donā€™t know of the template/parser function or how to use it wouldnā€™t be doing anything ā€œwrongā€ when they write ā€œ3,210.123456ā€. Existing, hand-entered values like this, which meet the proposed MOSNUM policy, would be considered as
1433:
I don't accept any connection between the variety of English used in an article, and the system of units listed first. Even though a particular variety of English is used in an article, the readership is worldwide, so the units should be metric unless the subject of the article is tied to the U.S. or
1331:
I think the important point here is that this is not a style issue; this is a "free flow of information" issue. The English Knowledge (XXG) has 2.3 million pages, but all of the Wikipedias have 10 million pages. Everyone knows that, if a conversion number is given in parentheses, you can't count on
747:
Thanks kindly, I read the archived discussion. There are 12 million Google hits for "kWh"/"kwh", and almost all of the first 3 pages of hits are in this sense, so it would be very silly for WP:MOSNUM to say "You can't write 'kWh' ". Google hits or something like that would be the way to distinguish

Gerry, I was perhaps a bit sloppy, I didn't read any farther in the article than the second sentence, which is "It is also commonly known as a micron." Thunderbird2, I'm being a little hypocritical with regard to my usual "no original research" position, but my "original research" is that I read the

The principle here IMO is that English is hard, and we have no right to make it harder than it is by making up words just for Knowledge (XXG), or making up new meanings of words (and 1700s is functioning as a word here, one with a universal meaning), unless we really are talking about something that
6098:
Some folks knew very well, but they figured it was easier to type "1700s", and it fits nicely into certain tables. This doesn't seem that likely to me, because then they'd be apologetic, or at the very least give a helpful explanation of what they're doing, rather than saying "This article is about

I understood that Gimmetrow. I appreciate that youā€™re in this with us trying to figure out its current limitations. Thanks. In my last example above, I made a it a point to show that a number that finally didnā€™t end with 01 would work. Clearly, it has a problem with anything ending in an 01. But the

a measure of telecommunications traffic density. The erlang is a dimensionless "unit" representing a traffic density of one call-second per second (or one call-hour per hour, etc.). The erlang is sometimes divided into 36 unit calls or 30 EBHC. Also called the traffic unit (TU), the erlang honors A.
976:
It's not less ambiguous. Before a number "c." is either circa or chapter, which will always be determinable by context while after a number there are many things "c." could stand for such as cent, carat, cup, though it too is usually determinable by context. If we don't allow "c." for circa then it

That's part of the reason why consistent, systematic rules are especially important for a collaborative project such as Knowledge (XXG). Don't be saying that people writing about rugby players can add an s to their ins and kgs and lbs, but nobody else can (we don't do so hereā€”our rule applies across

all that discussion has transpired (and after a near-unanimous consensus has already been achieved)? There were one or two things I might have changed after-the-fact on this template myself but I was disinclined to even head down that path since I am entrusted with shepherding the groupā€™s consensus

3944:
I'm not very proficient with template magic, but may I suggest to do it character based instead of math based? That would avoid problems with number of digits and 01 being seen as 1, or groups of 000 being overlooked. It would place restrictions on the input, such as forbidden commas or spaces, but
2607:
If we have a statement in sq miles, we should quote it in square miles; doing otherwise may sweep other disagreements (what are the precise boundaries of Asia? does this include the surface of Lake Baikal?) under the rug. We should convert; and we should spedify whether we mean survey or int. miles
1790:
This seems to me to fairly address the relevant issues. With regard to the ā€œall othersā€, if weā€™re recommending ā€œgenerally metricā€, conversion would seem to be superfluous except where non-metric is employed. The added reference to ā€œcustomā€ in the area of scientific and technical topics captures an

The difference between metric and SI is that anything related to the system started during the French Revolution is metric. However, in part due to relationships between different quantities that were not understood that far back, and the tendency of any trade or profession to create it's own units
1380:
I agree, but the bigger problem with not saying "prefer metric" or "generally metric" (and being very specific about what the exceptions are) is that this conversion will happen in one direction or the other every time a new editor wanders in, which is so much worse. Better to give reasons that are
638:
Well, I probably overlooked it. However, the "combined by muliplication" part is a little confusion, when we are talking here should come under the "combined by division" rules which I looked at on the project page. Sure, it is multiplication by an inverse; that's basically what division is. But
575:
However, even though the still-senseless MOSNUM rules call for non-breaking spaces in many situations where they are not needed, they still fail completely to address this one where if a space is used, it should be a nonbreaking space. It is a hell of a lot more important to keep the unit symbols
6762:
I have been trying to find a definite ruling on this but failing. The MOS says use words for low numbers and provide metric/imperial conversions. The convert template forces numerics and the all words version does not look right to me. The word with a numeric conversion looks good but goes against
6216:
Google is fine. The first 100 hits on 1700s haven't produced any non-Knowledge (XXG) links to decades; I doubt that any of the first 10000 hits would. But wait, it gets worse. People are used to seeing wiki-linked dates around here, because of that damn decision to use links for date preference
6094:
Some folks didn't know that "1700s" never means 1700 to 1709, or at least that meaning wouldn't make any reasonable threshold for inclusion in Knowledge (XXG). As always, I could be wrong, and I'll be willing to consider that if anyone can produce a single dictionary, manual, guidebook, or weekly

PS: Lest I be thought to be nothing but a nay-sayer today, I will add that I like the fact that the spacing effect (which I hate in this case, because no one writes numbers that way but people in lab coats) is done entirely in CSS and does not touch the content in any way. I think a solution like

Thanks for the correction MJC. I'm always trying to use shorter sentences, but sometimes it doesn't get the idea across. There are plenty of Americans, including myself, who feel "more comfortable" with U.S. units. When I pull up the daily weather, I would rather see degrees Fahrenheit. What I

Lastly, Dank55, here's some food for thought that may break your theory above: I am an American scientist and I use both the metric system (at work) and the U.S. customary system (at work and real life). I am "comfortable" using the metric measurements but I "actually prefer" the customary system
893:
I noticed that the abbreviation for circa is given as "ca." or "c." The latter is wrong, as it is the standard abbreviation for century (e.g. "4th c.") If c is used to mean "circa" then it should not be followed by a dot (e.g. c10,000 men). This is confirmed by the supreme authority on the English

I'd agree that unless otherwise stated the foot can be assumed to be the international foot. Therefore if you see a conversion to miles, square miles, etc. you should expect that this will be the international version. Given that this is the case, why would we convert to US survey acres, square

changing "around 2000" to "ca. 2000" in most articles. I agree that "ca. 1802" is perfectly okay in any history article, and preferred in many of them. For some people who show up to have their articles reviewed, that's the first time they run into a long list of "you can't do this, you must do

Actually I was referring to an explicit "+" for the whole number. Entering {{delimitnum|+123}} results in "123" without "+" sign. But I now realise the problem can be circumvented by entering +{{delimitnum|123}}. This trick should be added to the description of the template (whenever it comes to

OK, I thought just showing the problem with 1.01 would be enough illustration, but apparently not given the above examples. The problem can manifest itself in various ways with any group of three starting with a 0. It doesn't just happen with numbers ending in '1', and it's not just a symptom of

Ugh, what nonsense, I hadn't seen that. I'll put it on my to-do list to move the pages, and if they get moved back, take it to AfD. They won't find a dictionary, manual or guide of any kind that supports that meaning of "1700s". Is there any objection to deleting the sentence above? ("Because

There are two problems with: "Because expressions like the 1700s are ambiguous (referring to a century or a decade), they are best avoided." The first is that if you can find someone who uses, say, the "late 1700s" to mean 1708, I'll eat my hat. There is no ambiguity. The second is that this

Actually, Dan's summary of the Micrometre article isn't quite accurate, it says "Some people (especially in astronomy and the semiconductor industry) use the old name micron and/or the solitary symbol Āµ (both of which were official between 1879 and 1967) to denote a micrometre." My electronics

Those are rules of the English language, not rules of the International System of units; note that in the German language, for example, the SI units named after people are capitalized: Henry, Watt, whatever. So are the units not named after people, such as the Meter and Gram: all nouns are

I'm American, but I'm very comfortable with saying "prefer metric". Every country except the U.S. uses SI units for almost everything (with a few exceptions, as Sept points out), and there are lots of people in the U.S. who prefer metric to U.S. units, because there's so much movement across

There are a lot of people making changes for one of many wrong reasons; I really wouldn't know. One wrong reason that people don't always realize is a wrong reason is: changing MOSNUM because some new guideline (outside Knowledge (XXG)) came into being just this month. There's no rule that
5078:. In my opinion though, the practice of using the plus sign in front of positive exponents should be generally discouraged by official MOSNUM policy unless it is being used in Knowledge (XXG) articles on advanced mathematical concepts where the distinction must be emphasized for some reason. 3378:
as it works damn nicely there. However, I am rather expert in its use and pay particularly close attention to the numbers when I use the template. It clearly can't be put into the hands of general users until it can reliabily work with ā‰¤12 digits. I know Zocky has put so much work in this
4129:
Starting to look good. My 14 digit example above works as well now. To even improve more on size of numbers, would it be an alternative to split the integer and mantissa part into separate arguments? So the template would be like {{formatnum|integer|mantissa|accuracy|exponent|unit}}.

It seems I was too hasty then, so I have reverted the change I made. I have seen both myself, but I still prefer ca. over c. On the other hand I agree with Dan that "around 2000" should also be acceptable. What about a preference for either ca. or about over (say) c. or approx.?

Should we include any guidance on the difference between these two? Granted, one needs to be doing conversions to 6 or more decimal places before encountering any noticeable differences in the metric conversions, but I can see the rare occasion where it would be significant.

My main purpose here is to alert you all to this parallel effort (a template vs. a parser function) and to let you know it is now available for use. Perhaps now would be a good time to begin discussing a formal MOSNUM policy regarding the use of the template. I propose the

Btw Sept, I do support what you just said. We shouldn't start randomly trashing the accuracy or validity of the sources when U.S. units are used, that's a given. I could only support a "gradual push" towards metric for anything that isn't solidly tied to the U.S. - Dan

One problem (the spurious 09x) is roundoff error in the math used to separate the digits. The other problems appear to be: two digit groups with "0" (07) are evaluated as 7 rather than 70 (so treated as a single digit), and a first group of 000 loses the decimal point.

Returning to the international mile, I said before that a conversion is over the top, but I've changed my mind now. When such high precision is required, a conversion to an unambiguous unit (in this case the square kilometre) is the best solution.

Knowledge (XXG) style rules have to constantly change; recent changes in usage outside Knowledge (XXG) could always change back, so it pays to be a little conservative rather than forcing article writers and reviewers to learn new rules every month.

As far as I know, it should be extraordinarily simple to convert articles that use Zockyā€™s template to one that uses the parser function once it becomes available; perhaps just a global search & replace to exchange a pipe (|) for a colon (:).

So, what should the wording be? I am happy with the current Crissov version; "in general" and "where idiom prefers it" seem to neatly cover PMA's points about the use of such expressions as "the four-minute mile" and "poundcake", doesn't it?
