I noticed your edit to Template:Infobox telescope. This edit produces strange-looking results. The diameter (of the objective lens or mirror) is normally stated in inches for older optical telescopes (never feet and inches). For older radio telescopes the diameter of the main reflector is stated in feet (not feet and inches; usually the statements are not accurate to the inch so including inches would be false precision). For modern telescopes, both optical and radio, diameters are in meters. The template should not be converting inches to feet and inches, as it currently does for Hale telescope; the only conversions should be between American customary units and meters. The American customary unit for radio telescopes should be feet, and the American customary unit for optical telescopes should be inches.

Hi @Jc3s5h: Thanks for the heads-up about the issue. I think I've resolved it with this edit, which checks to see whether feet/inches/square inches are used rather than m/cm/sqm, and flips the conversion to convert to SI if needed. Does that look better to you now? Thanks.

It looks better for Hale Telescope. The modern large telescopes, where the diameter is usually designated in meters, all seem to have various notations and/or citations, which (properly) prevent the importation of Wikidata and hence avoid having your code apply to them.

It seems to work OK for South Pole Telescope using metres, so hopefully it'll work OK in the other articles when they're migrated. Thanks.

I argue that the customary American diameter of the South Pole Telescope should be give as 394 inches, to permit easier comparison to the diameter of older telescopes with well-known diameters in inches, such as the 200-inch Hale telescope or the 100-inch Hooker telescope.

Extended confirmed protection

__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Extended_confirmed_protection","replies":[],"uneditableSection":true}}-->

Hello, Mike Peel. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
