Talk:Human weight

message: The opening paragraphs and the bottom table contradict each other. Please fix this. The data is also wrong in the paragraphs unless my Med School textbooks are the incorrect ones.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.36.95.120 (talk) 17:34, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Self-Contradictions & Inaccuracies

message: I changed the part about the stone being "fairly common" to "common" as I think that is more accurate. Weights are nearly always given in stones here. MyNameIsClare talk  20:08, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weight in Britain 

message: I removed the explanation of the difference between scientific and other definitions of weight because it's irrelevant to the article. Maybe a disambiguation link at the top would be better. Dave 06:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Issues 

message: Content is spread out and partially duplicated among Human weight, Obesity and Body Mass Index, perhaps some merging would be in order. --Frank Lofaro Jr. 18:25, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you. In particular, there are three paragraphs about BMI that are not terribly accurate, but should really be left to editing in the BMI article itself. I am removing them. Chartreuse green 02:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging needed? 

message: I agree that many news outlets write about the "Obesity Epidemic", and talk about "Alarming Rates", and so on. But it is not encyclopedic to describe it as "alarming", and I think that more neutral words should be used so this remains NPOV. I changed it to "increasing".

thread_title:  Rising at an Alarming Rate 

message: The beginning of this article doesn't make sense at all, viz "weight is a measurement of mass."  Weight is a measure of force and therefore should take units of Newtons (force) not Kilograms (mass).
Just pick one or the other.

thread_title:  pounds/kg 

message: There has been a UK national size survey in 2004, Size UK, supported by the UK government and various stores. Academics (acording to their website) surveyed the size of people in the UK using 11,000 subjects and 3D whole body scanners. On the average weight, it is reported in the BBC website, based on the Size UK study as "In the UK, a woman's average weight is 10 stone 3.5 lbs (65 kg); in the United States, an average woman weighs 11 stone 1.5lbs (71 kg)." - BBC News Website based on [  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigcitydeserter (talk • contribs) 16:34, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Relevant source not cited/used

message: Under 'Human Weight' I would expect to find a little bit broader sampling not just a sprinkling of the Western World. This article lacks in more ways than one. I urge whoever initiated this article to put on their thinking cap and try to expand the scope of the information.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iconoclast.horizon (talk • contribs) 06:19, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The other 75% of the world 

message: This article says the exact same thing as body weight and therefore should be combined with it.  It also means the same as body weight.--Doc James (talk) 14:08, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
