Wikipedia fails :)

Post by Sethioz »

260 lb = 120kg and 263 lb = 119 ?? hmmmm....

also, shouldn't it be lbs as pounds. if you talk about more than 1, then it should be lbs (pounds) not lb (pound). I do not know pounds so well myself, so not sure, but conversion fails badly.
260lbs is 117.9kg and 263lbs is 119.2kg.
This is very little effort to make the calculation right, no idea why they failing so badly, this is not the first time i see it on wiki, they are failing badly in such conversions. while 6ft 6in really is 1.98 (actually 1.98.12, but 98 will do).

my point wasn't to like emberess them or show bad light on them, but my point is that so little effort and they can't do it. they get millions from donations, they could hire a programmer and make automatic conversion between such things. its just lame..
