Conventional Weber png v. descriptive text

On the following page is your png file with a numeric value for the conventional weber which has some descriptive text beneath it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_units

The numeric value begins four hundred eighty-three trillion, but your text states billion. I don't know which is correct so I'll leave it to you to fix either the png or the description.

Vitruvian Man

The width of the man is 24 handbreadths instead of 18.

Rob ten Berge (talk) 10:49, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Are you sure?

I think: 1 Fathom = 18 handbreadths = 24 Palms

Unitfreak (talk) 03:43, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

You're right!

But Leonardo's text contains 24 Palms. He doesn't write about handbreadths.

You could probably put those 24 Palms also in the schedule.

 It was my intentention to put this text on the mainpage of lemna vitruvian man.

• Via Google: "vitruvian man text" (video) you can find a video on YouTube with Leonardo's complete italian text translated into english.

 In this video are the measurements of Leonardo's text mentioned.
 I corrected the 7 feet. That's 6 feet.
 But probably I made a little mistake myself too, but in an other line.
 Your comments please.

Best regards, Rob

PS Your work about gravity is very interesting. --Rob ten Berge (talk) 23:50, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Licensing

(continued from Talk:Mass#Suggest relocating much of the "Gravitational Mass" section)

I am hardly an expert on this topic, but there are a few important things:

1. "Public domain" is a precise legal term that basically means giving up all legal rights to the public domain work. It is not the same as saying that anyone can use it anywhere they like.
2. Text can also be a derivative work and hence be subject to original licenses, just like images.
3. If any work copied here is indeed a derivative work (or identical to the original work), and the copyright to the original work is owned by someone else, then the protocol is as stated in the original license. As far as I know, Wikipedia does not have its own protocols (except those based on specific licenses). If the original work was your own or in the public domain, then you can do whatever you like.
4. There are standard user page templates, at least on this wiki, to help indicate the copyright/licensing status of your own contributions (I use them on my user page). If your contributions follow anything other than the standard terms on the relevant wiki, then you should make a clear statement on your user page.

Nomination for deletion of Template:Vitruvian Man measurements

Template:Vitruvian Man measurements has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. I'm truly sorry about this (and may also be quite wrong about it!). It's obvious you've done a lot of work here. But the image masquerades as a historic document, presents unsourced information, and IMO contains errors also. Others will decide what should happen, but please accept my apologies however it goes.

Editing comments after they've been replied to

This wasn't appropriate. Please do not edit your comments after they have been replied to: doing so confuses readers and gives a misleading impression of the chronological order of the arguments made. I would appreciate it if you restored the old format of your comments and, if you have a separate reply to me, that you add it after my post.
