Talk:1 hectometre

message: * 541 m — (1,776 ft) -- height of the planned Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center site
**When it's built, we may list it - lots of thing are planned. 
* 417 m — height of the World Trade Center buildings before the September 11, 2001 attacks
**If you can't see it anymore, it is not a useful memorization of orders of magnitude.
* 324 m — total height of the Eiffel Tower including TV-antenna
* 109.73 m — total length of an American football field (120 yards, including the end zones)
* 137.16 . — total length of a Canadian football field (150 yards, including the end zones)
**We don't need multiple heights for one structure - we're talking about orders of magnitude here!
* 553.33 m — height of the CN Tower, the world's second tallest free-standing land structure
**If the most notable thing that can be said about is that it is second-highest, it's not worth putting here. 
* 168 m — height of the Bungsberg, highest point in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
**Schleswig-Holstein is known for being flat - it's highest point is not notable.

thread_title: Some IMO redundant ones

message: Setting the category key of the article to "+02" doesn't seem to work (it is put in the :Category:Orders of magnitude (length) at the "2" entry, no matter the number of zeroes at the left -- I tested "+002"), and neither the "-01" key (the category order is incorrect, being the "-02" before the "-01"). Are these bugs of MediaWiki? --surueña 10:00:44, 2005-08-01 (UTC)
:Sounds like a bug to me.  You should probably look at the mediwiki bugzilla and/or ask on mailing lists or somewhere.  I suspect it's a feature(cough), not a bug, but I hope there's a way we can turn it off. JesseW 22:15, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  It doesn't work 

message: I notice that most of the instances listed here are in the form 100_m (space underlined for emphasis).  Is there a wikipedia policy that overrides the usual notation of SI units which is that when an abbreviation is used, there is no space between the quantifier and the abbreviated unit?

replies: text: I don't understand what you mean by the usual notation, since most texts I've read use a space between the value and the abbreviation (including BIPM).--Jyril 11:43, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Maybe it's a UK convention: certainly it is what I am most used to seeing and have always been taught (and now teach).  However, I observe that WP:MOSNUM prescribes the space.  Kevin McE 10:46, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
