Talk:Mill Mountain Star

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't agree with using numbers in the Construction paragraph for 88.5 feet. It's taught that you should spell out all numbers below 100 that are non-scientific. See the provided link. First part. [1] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JohnMcClane (talk • contribs) .

Actually, according to Wikipedia's own Manual of Style, on the dates and numbers page, it states:

Numbers may be written as words or numerals, although note that many users prefer that numbers less than ten be spelt out. It is considered awkward for a numeral to be the first word of a sentence: either recast the sentence or spell the number out. A consistent approach is required within each article.

So by Wikipedia's own stylistic rules, everything seems to be just copasetic in using a numeral there. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:39, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
