Inappropriate units conversion by Lightbot
I am reverting an inappropriate edit made by Lightbot to the 100-year flood article. Lightbot added a square miles to square kilometers conversion where a conversion already existed and used an incorrect number of decimal places in the conversion.Thewellman (talk) 16:56, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, attention to the code might be appropriate; but what was there was ambiguous: "approximately 30 square miles or 80 square kilometers" (which of them, even if the conversion were reasonably accurate?); the conversion was wildly inaccurate. Thanks for bringing this to light. Tony   (talk)  05:38, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

"Mostly units"?
What does that mean? Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 20:22, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It means the principal task is to supply counterparts to units of measure, usually by insertion of a convert template, to give corresponding units to [single] measures already used in the article so that, for example, '20 miles' becomes '20 mi'. -- Ohconfucius ¡digame! 01:57, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I got that. It seems the edit is "entirely units" to me. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 16:50, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Vchimpanzee, as you can see from my contributions, most of my edits are related to units. Sometimes I do other things which are often also 'gnoming' edits. From time to time, I do get involved in copyediting and use a different summary. Hope that helps. Regards Lightmouse (talk) 21:00, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
