Summerlin, Nevada
You recently edit Summerlin, Nevada to add the convert template for acre. In doing so you added the target unit. This was bad since the article was already using the default provided by convert. So your changes produce different data then what is used in the rest of the article. Except in some very limited cases, it is probably best to not specify the converted unit and let the template decide. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:24, 13 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I try not to use the template blindly. It seemed to me that an area of 100 square kilometres was easy to imagine. It's equivalent to a square 10 km by 10 km. That's why I did it. I see you've made it 10,000 ha which is somewhat more obscure. I've heard people suggest that farmers and antipodeans may find this 10,000 ha easier to imagine than 100 km2. But I think ordinary people are more able to imagine 100 km2. Anyway, I see you've made a change to how you want it. Keep up the good work. Regards Lightmouse (talk) 20:48, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
