- Clawed, by stretching out this template to say ft and in, you are stretching out countless infoboxes needlessly which use this template inside of them. ie: NHL players. Just leave it with the standard " for inches and ' for feet. Jaskaramdeep 16:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- The template should strictly follow the manual of style since it is a template in many articles. I have looked at half of all the NHL players that use the NHL infobox and only found a couple of boxes that were expanded such as Sergei Samsonov, but always by only a very small amount. Can you please provide some exapmles of articles where the infoboxes have been expanded by the change of this template--Clawed 08:36, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
