 * Good grief. You don't average them and express the result to the hundredth of a long ton (the nearest 22 lb or 10 kg).  The range here is from 6691 to 6912 long tons (6801.5±110.5) light, and from 8803 to 9045 long tons (8924±121) full (just disregarding an obvious anomaly at 8315).


 * Throw out the two smallest and the two largest and you have 17 left, 6805±65 long tons light and 8914±86 long tons light


 * Were there any good reason for using this approximation, the numbers should be "6800 LT light" and "8900 LT full".


 * But, since you actually have the figures here, you should be citing a source for them and putting the actual figures into each ships article, rather than this unnecessary fictional number.


 * Do you have a reliable source for these numbers? Gene Nygaard (talk) 04:59, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
