[edit] The correct conversion from meters to feet is one meter is equal to 3.281 feet, not 3 feet

Instead of posting this message in every article talkpage, I think I should say this here. In most of the building articles on the list, the correct height figure in feet is stated, but the height figure in meters is off. The 3 to 1 conversion used in the Miami building articles is one yard, but one yard does not equal one meter; a yard is shorter. This small difference of 3 inches might seem small, but in a building about 600 feet tall, the 3 to 1 conversion yields 200 (yards), but the 3.281 to 1 conversion yields 183 (meters); a difference of 17. I have corrected most of the conversion mistakes, but the editor who did the incorrect conversion(s) should keep this in mind. Skyscraper Phoenix 17:37, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
