Talk:Scale (ratio)

Could we have something on this page about reptile scales and not just measuring scales? could we have something about math not about animals?

The following request was moved here from the bottom of the article. --Zigger 19:21, 2004 Jun 13 (UTC)
 * Add more examples here... A history of the measuring scale would be good too

Suggested modifications
I would like to suggest some modifications for this page.

1 The second and third paragraphs grate uncomfortably with the level of the page since they require graduate level mathematics. Remove them? Move them to the end to a small section entitled something like "Mathematical Note".

2 Tidy up the comment on maps and link to a rewritten page on "Scale(maps)". There I have suggested definition of point scale and representative fraction. Peter Mercator (talk) 14:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

3 The frensh link bings us to https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89chelle instead of https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio. Could you pleas fixe this? Emaanet (talk) 15:39, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
