What is the altitude above mean sea level all earth's lands, together, have? Is there any known answer to this question? It would fit here I think... Undead Herle King ( talk) 00:26, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
No article mentions this? No one knows what it is? Really? Does it is trivial data or what? Undead Herle King ( talk) 02:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Bermicourt just wrote a new article, vertical metre, which is similar (although not perfectly identical) to this one. I would recommend merging the two, because of the strong overlap. There is a proliferation of very short articles about measuring vertical height, and I don't think any of them will ever become B-class. — hike395 ( talk) 13:25, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
"Vertical metre" is an aberration: it flies in the face of the Guide for the Use of the International System of Units (SI) -- of which metre is part of, before you say we should not be bound by the tyranny of the SI. More specifically, section 7.5 (Unacceptability of mixing information with units) states:
"When one gives the value of a quantity, any information concerning the quantity or its conditions of measurement must be presented in such a way as not to be associated with the unit. This means that quantities must be defined so that they can be expressed solely in acceptable units (...) Examples: the Pb content is 5 ng/L but not: 5 ng Pb/L or 5 ng of lead/L"
For this reason, " vertical metre" should be merged to above mean sea level. [1] fgnievinski ( talk) 18:24, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
@ Burninthruthesky and Rfassbind: would you reconsider your previous opposition to renaming the present article if we adopted simply Above sea level, instead of Meters above sea level, thus avoiding the hatnote " Feet above sea level redirects here"? Would you agree that the concept is more important than the units? fgnievinski ( talk) 22:16, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
