- 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)

[edit] USS Firebolt (PC-10)
This template is being used on that article, but the numbers given in it are not exact, so using this template implies an inappropriate degree of precision. This shouldn't be used outside of cases where the numbers are specifically known. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 18:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Small change to remove spaces
A small request/proposal: rather than 6 ft (1.8 m), how about 6ft (1.8m)? When written normally, there would be no space between the number and symbol, e.g. 20kg, 100m. Fedgin | Talk 11:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fault
Using {{height|m=1.82}} gives:
5 ft 12 in is 6 ft. This template therefore needs a tinker. Sʟυмgυм • т • c 12:18, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
