Conversion template
Just a heads up... there's actually a template for all those conversions you've been doing, you can use to automatically do the conversion, plus it saves valuable character space. Check out my edit on Fordlândia to see how it works, and Template:Convert will show you all the units available (as well as additional syntax, etc.)... feel free to ask if you have any questions... - Adolphus79 (talk) 17:28, 7 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Adolphus79, I'll try that sometime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caar maan 13245867 (talk • contribs)


 * Great! Also, you should indent your reply on talk pages with semi-colons (:, ::, :::, etc.) and make sure to sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ), it just makes the rest of the editors' lives a little easier when we are trying to communicate... have fun, and feel free to just ask if you need any help... :) - Adolphus79 (talk) 20:10, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

I reverted your edit on London Beer Flood. There is no need I can see to replace the conversion templates.-- Auric   talk  22:51, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

converting distances etc
Thank you for adding the conversions to Dunedoo and other articles. I see you are new to Wikipedia, so I thought I would explain the easier (and better) way to do this. Look here to see how I changed the Dunedoo article to use the convert template. If you look at Convert, you will find more examples of how to use the convert template for many types of units. If you are using the source editor the general format is:

number unit

If you are using the Visual Editor, then you use Insert > Template > type in "convert", click on "Convert" when it appears on the dropdown, then click Add Template. Then fill in the form (as above), then Insert.

While I personally find the Visual Editor is the best for general editing, I do find it a bit slower to do work with templates, so I often use the source editor when I am doing template work (like adding convert templates), but you can do it with either. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask me. Kerry (talk) 06:44, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Shellwood. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Wikipedia:Unusual place names— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Shellwood (talk) 20:21, 13 March 2019 (UTC) At the very top of that specific page it says "This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous. Please do not take it too seriously." and there are other (quite obvious) jokes on that page

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Moose Jaw, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. ''Several editors have asked you to use conversion templates. I have added them to Moose Jaw as an example to you. Please stop your disruptive editing. Thank you.'' Magnolia677 (talk) 16:15, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Please tell me how not adding the conversion templete "disrupts progress toward improving an article or building the encyclopedia". That is from the first paragraph from disruptive editing, so please eplain. And I am not deliberatly going against the Manual of Style and here is a reason why I don't use the coversion template, I DON'T LIKE USING THE EDIT SCOURCE WAY OF EDITING.
 * I'm blocking you; you can discuss this further here if you want. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 00:14, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
