Units
As stated in WP:UNIT “In science-related articles: generally use only SI units, non-SI units officially accepted for use with the SI, and specialized units that are used in some sciences. US Customary and imperial units are not required.”135.19.148.107 (talk) 20:32, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * That's all good and well, but let's have those spaces e. g. 3.5 kg instead of 3.5kg etc. etc. Peter Horn User talk 23:27, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Lo and behold. I looked up Fossa (animal) and found that the article features the use of template:convert in exactltly the same manner that I proposed it to be used in Goldvtfrcyfcccffrytttttttttgfrxcytgfcxdeytgfxrregtrhhhersxrthgdxsxrehdfxsgfefgredxgfadzgfsaedzefdzzhrfdzxhyrfgsdxcvhngkj,gmujgvgjndfcedrdazerdfgdcghbngbluijkhmblhjfvjcfgxsdxfcszxtrgfhnbgbkuj,juijkgvghsdxcsdfszxedfgvkyuhjgnjbkujkhikhgcdfcxedfgcvhkgbjgvuyhgdhxrsdfscxdcgfhbfvthgen-crowned sifaka.

I restored the ha to square mile conversion to make it more accessible to the general public. Acres are not very accessible... except maybe to farmers. Square kilometers is another option we could explore. I usually use square km & mi in articles, but the sources used ha, so I had to use that as a starting point. Also, first mentions of units should not usually be abbreviated, so I restored that. Most people won't know what "ha" is. – Maky  « talk » 15:22, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, ha is familiar to one and all who live in countries where the metric system holds sway and that begins to hold true even for Canada. I knew what is an "ha" when I graduated from elementary school (grade 6) back in the Netherlands. As for acres, there are "X" number of articles about North American universities that give the area of the campus (in the infobox) in terms of acres. Ditto for some N. Am. parks. If need be I'll find some samples within Wikipedia. Converting hectares into square miles is akin to doing eye surgery with a pen knife. Peter Horn User talk 20:19, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I had meant most Americans won't know what a hectare is. Coming from the middle of nowhere in the U.S., I admit that I should probably know was an acre is, but the best thing I can relate to is a square mile.  I wish it wasn't like that. –  Maky  « talk » 20:38, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * As a sample of current Canadian usage of hectare to acre conversion see Tunney's Pasture. Peter Horn User talk 01:41, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, my educated guess is that 135.19.148.107 (talk) above became User:PlanCartesien Peter Horn User talk 18:02, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
