Just a heads up... there's actually a template for all those conversions you've been doing, you can use {{conv|##|unit}} 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)[reply]

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

Great!

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)[reply]

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:

{{convert|number|unit|other 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 00:14, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I was putting in measurement conversions a differant way than what is considered the norm, which is that conversion template thing, and the way I do it is using google to do the conversion and start rounding accordingly, which isn't disruptive editing. Disruptive editing would be changing the article so it would be hypotheticle, which is known as a "Wikipedia hit job." Caar maan 13245867 (talk) 15:37, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

DearYamaguchi先生, I now fully understand what I am supposed to do in regards to adding conversions and will not do what I had done previouslly. I fully respect your decision to decline my previous unblock request. IF you decide to decline this unblock request I fully undersand.

Decline reason:

Unfortunately, we see many blocked editors saying they understand things when they really don't, so we need to be sure you actually do understand. So please make a new unblock request, and explain your understanding of what you were doing wrong and what you will do in future if unblocked.

Request reason:

Dear Boing! said Zebedee, I was doing conversions for measurements that did not have a conversion. say a page said a town is 37.7 square kilometers in size, I would use the "visual editor", and I would use google to find the conversion for 37.7 sq km to sq mi, which rounds to 14.6 sq mi. I would do that instead of using the {{convert|37.7|sqkm|sqmi}} format. With regards User:Caar maan 13245867 --Caar maan 13245867.

Decline reason:

It's not 100% clear from your appeal whether you are referring to your previous behaviour or your intended future behaviour. ("I would" can be construed as either past or future in English: "Previously, I would..." or "In the future, I would...".) Please clarify. Yunshui ^雲_水 13:12, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Dear Yunshui, I was using the past form of "would". Sorry for being unclear with my wording. sincerly Caar maan 13245867

Accept reason:

It has been clear for some time that you understand what you have been asked not to do, and that you have said you won't do it, so there is no reason at all for you to remain blocked from editing.
