[edit] POV
This page reads more like a petition to the CGPM than an encyclopedia article. Grouse 15:56, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Modify instead of delete
Please rather modify article about grave unit, instead of deleting it. This article is too made by various anonymous Wikipedians in English, French, German and Polish, and their localized versions are linking to this article.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.5.62.208 (talk • contribs).
[edit] No delete
No one has nominated this article for deletion. But interwiki links are not a good reason not to delete. Other Wikipedias will have different criteria for inclusion. Grouse 17:53, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Appropriateness
I think the article as it stands now is fairly good from a NPOV perspective. I have deleted an uncited POV section about what "many purists" believe about the name, and how it is superior to other potential names for the kilogram. Using weasel words does not make something less POV. Nor has the notability of this practice been established. Grouse 09:54, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
I additionally moved that deleted section to discussion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.5.62.208 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Tip for restoring for kilogram an unprefixed name
Many purists are unofficially dubbing again a kilogram with the original "grave" term, introducing in this way full consistency into the SI. This solution of restoring name "grave" once again would be the best proposed remedy to this lack of consistency in the SI, because "grave" was once original historic name of this unit used in practice. This condition is not matched by any other newer proposed names, such as: berg, bes, bob, borda, brieze, brize, dalembert, dimno, einstein, fortin, galileo, gaulle, gaul, giorgi, gravet, hyle, iners, inertia, inert, ka, kepler, kerg, kerog, keron, ker, kig, kilg, kilog, kilon, kil, klog, klon, kog, kon, krog, kron, libra, lib, moles, neogramme, neogram, pig, quant, quig, quilg, quilog, quilon, quilo, quil, qulon, quon, quram, qurram, sigramme, sigram, stathmo, stathm, statmo, statm, yle, which were never applied practically to kilogram in sense of metric base unit of mass. Additionally, choosing original "grave" name saves people from uncertainity which name choose from those newer non-original 60 names proposed later. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.5.62.208 (talk • contribs).
