News page balanceHello, I'm not quite sure I understand why you reverted my recent change to the news page. There is more to a balance in the news feed than a simple geographic balance. Currently more than half of the articles in the feed are sports-related, and that is a poor balance of topics. I removed the other football story in particular because it hardly feels well balanced having two of them in the news feed at the same time. Owen (talk) 15:25, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Continued problems of the same stripe, following your close of a reportHi. I'm appealing to you because you closed out this prior baseless 3RR Report. By his response to your close, he apparently disagreed with you and the other two editors who commented, rejecting your unanimous conclusion. The same editor, on the same article, is now intimidating me with the same baseless complaint -- now via warning -- on the same article. This, in addition to edit warring against consensus in a slow edit war, on the same issue for some days now. In addition, Off2 has warned him (as have I and others) against editing against consensus and edit warring. How can I have him stop? I've tried ignoring him, but this is now proving very disruptive. Many thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:35, 16 June 2011 (UTC) You're invited to the New York Wiknic!This message is being sent to inform you of a Wikipedia picnic that is being held in your area next Saturday, June 25.

Thanks for pointing out the "abbr" parameter. It struck me as odd to abbreviate one measurement unit and not the other. —
Incidentally, if the desired plain text output is known, is there an advantage to using the template instead (e.g. the ability for users to implement custom display settings via CSS)? I didn't bother to pursue an in-template solution because I assumed that it didn't matter. If it does matter, I'll make it a point to retain the template in the future. —
