Talk:1 myriametre

Some redundant ones (IMO)

• 16.09344 km — 10 miles
  • conversions go at the top and we have one into miles
• 16 km — diameter of Adrastea, one of Jupiter's inner moons
• 22 km — mean diameter of Phobos, the larger moon of Mars
• 30 km — diameter of Ananke, one of Jupiter's outer moons
• 32 km — diameter of Siarnaq, one of Saturn's outer moons
• 36 km — diameter of Lysithea, one of Jupiter's moons
• the location of the causeway: Louisiana, USA
  • we link to the causeway, we don't need to link the place it's in directly.
• 43 km — diameter of Metis, Jupiter's innermost moon
• 46 km — diameter of Carme, one of Jupiter's outer moons
• 60 km — diameter of Pasiphaë, one of Jupiter's outer moons
• 86 km — diameter of Elara, one of Jupiter's moons
• 99 km — diameter of Thebe, one of Jupiter's inner moons
  • Moons, moons and more moons! We don't need more than one moon per planet.

As always, if you really care, feel free to re-add them. JesseW 05:20, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Page moved to 1 myriametre

Was this a good move? It looks very dubious to me, myriametre being an obsolete unit of measure. __meco (talk) 14:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I moved it back to what it used to be. __meco (talk) 17:28, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for taking notice! I moved back for the following reasons. (1) The consensus established at AFD for this article, and all associated articles, was that rename or reorganization should be discussed-- which is what we're finally doing. (2) I believe my proposal was the most detailed and considered, although any rename details have been received with relative silence. (3) I posted my proposal to Talk:1 metre, Talk:1 yoctometre, and Talk:100 yottametres (the middle, first, and last articles). (4) Hearing no response, I announced my intent to move at Talk:1 metre. Of course I didn't announce this on all 51 pages. (5) I explained that redirects would be handled as well. I have not completed them but you can see from my contributions that I have worked on them. (6) The most obvious title for this page under my naming system would be "10 kilometres", but I realized the track event appears to be a more significant article for that term, so to resolve this conflict, I chose "1 myriametre" as a suitable, if non-SI, replacement. (7) So based on the data so far, I have proceeded with this solution in good faith as the best standardization of the existing articles. I apologize for this particular double redirect standing too long, and because it's a special case I'll fix that one now out of order. If you have any better solutions (other than retaining all the old names, which consensus agreed was controversial), please join the discussion! JJB 14:15, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, as long as you have made your proposals to the community I'm happy enough. Maybe there will be more discussion as time passes. As for 10 kilometres not being suitable, I disagree, as this would be easily disambiguated by creating 10 kilometres (order of magnitude) instead. __meco (talk) 15:07, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Notes

The {{Reference necessary}} template is more complex than a simple {{Cn}}, and make it harder for the person adding the reference. It should only be used where there is ambiguity about what needs referencing. Even then arguably, if there are two things that could be meant, then both will need a ref.

Secondly "USA" has been deprecated in favor of US for more years than I can remember see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Acronyms_and_abbreviations. Rich Farmbrough, 22:35, 15 April 2010 (UTC).

Useless article?

This seems to me like a completely pointless article. What is the purpose? Why are there a lot of measurements and no references to them being notable? Pure rubbish! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.89.21.76 (talk) 23:01, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
