Talk:Order of magnitude/template

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You have new messages (last change).

To the templates below, between "Less" and "More", actual entries are added, one bullet point for each entry. The entries should be according to the following format:

  • 102 g -- small apple, see joule

A double dash separates the value from the explanation, and the explanation is not capitalized.

To help compare different orders of magnitude we list here (dimensions) between 10 (units) and 10 (units).

  • (Less)
  • (More)

To help compare different [[orders of magnitude]] we list here ([[dimension]]s) between 10<sup></sup> (units) and 10<sup></sup> (units).

* [[1 E|(Less)]]
* [[1 E|(More)]]

[edit] Question of style

The various "nn Enn xx" pages seem to use at least two different styles of capitalization (approx 50-50 distribution):

Style 1:

  • Lighter masses
  • 102 g -- Small apple, see joule

Style 2:

  • lighter masses
  • 102 g -- small apple, see joule

For consistency, I think we should decide one of these styles, but which one? Or has this been decided somewhere. -- Egil 08:41 Apr 9, 2003 (UTC)

Probably this would be the right place for this, so I copied it here. I agree it should be consistent, no strong feelings one way or the other, but I guess I would actually prefer an intermediate style:
Style 3:
  • Lighter masses
  • 102 g -- small apple, see joule
but maybe that's just me. -- John Owens 08:50 Apr 9, 2003 (UTC)
I agree that style 3 has merit in terms of being logical (if we assume the "sentence" starts at "102"). I will change to style 3 as I add new entries (don't have the time to go through all articles, I think). -- Egil 07:00 Apr 13, 2003 (UTC)
