Blow-gun

[edit]

I redirect the duplicate article Blow-gun here. There might be some salvagable info for a merge if anyone is interested. --W.marsh 17:34, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Problems due to "cal"

[edit]

@Carnby: Sorry to bring up an edit from January 2017 (diff) but I'm not sure what should be done to fix some problems in this article. Quite a lot of it could be deleted as original research and that would remove some problems. Let's see if anyone watching here can help. In that diff, a lot of unit conversions were added. As an example of the problem, search for "Fukidake". The first of the following is the original and the second is what it was changed to:

The "cal" is referring to Caliber although I know nothing about the details. Johnuniq (talk) 04:20, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq Usually I put always a conversion, using the original value as the parameter for {{convert}} and choosing metric units first or customary units if the article or paragraph is dealing with the U.S. (and, to some extent, the UK).-- Carnby (talk) 08:20, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I overlooked that『.51 cal』in the original is defined to be .51 inches so your change was good. But what about the "cal"? That looks out of place. It confused me because I was alerted to this article by an error introduced by an IP which involved moving "cal" inside the convert template. At any rate, I reverted the IP and I guess it's all good although cal might not be clear. Johnuniq (talk) 09:29, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
