Roman M or SI prefix M?

With current knowledge of bill clintin, what is the most logical number to associate the letter M with?? Some people say a thousand from

SI prefixes. Which is more natural?? 66.32.242.120

I'd say that the most common use today is M = 10⁶ (million) as per the SI prefix, or, in computing, M = 2²⁰ = 1,048,576 (mega). The Roman M, in my experience, mostly shows up in production/copyright year notices for movies, and in x-words... --Wernher 16:36, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Meanings shifted to disambiguation page?

The Singing Badger "shifted alternate meanings to dab page". This is inconsistent with all other letters (A, B, C, etc.) and makes this page rather short. I rather like having the various meanings of the letter M on the M page, and propose that it be moved back. Discussion? --Erik Demaine 16:19, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the meanings ought to be on this page, but reworded to be more like an encyclopedia article and less like a PowerPoint presentation. ShutterBugTrekker 22:43, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry about that, I never thought to look at the other letters! I will shift everything back. The Singing Badger 00:16, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is "it" a preferred term to "this" in Wikipedia articles? The article uses the word "this" and I may as well ask the question in the talk page. Speling12345 (talk) 2:12, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

I see two uses of this; the first could be changed to the and the second to it, but neither change would clearly be an improvement. —Tamfang (talk) 09:03, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect link in side-bar for character ꟽ

Link currently goes to the article for woman — should instead go to the page for ꟽ, which currently exists only in French (ꟽ). Please either link to the French page or create new, English page. Thank you! Æolus (talk) 13:21, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Messier?

would the fact that M is used in the Messier catalog be of enough importance to be included here?
