Kilogram

Nominator(s): Army1987 – Deeds, not words.

One of the best articles about units of measurement we have. It has been listed as a Good Article for more than two months and has been very stable during this time (see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kilogram&diff=cur&oldid=242599699). (Yes, a significant portion of the article is about the prototype and proposed definitions, and will be outdated in 2011 if the kilogram is redefined; but "all the information in the article will stay true for a century or more" is not one of the FA criteria.)

(I'm not a major contributor to the article, though I did some edits – but most of them were tweaks, not additions of new material.)

Oppose

• Most of the article does not have inline citations.
• "Importance of the kilogram" is completely unreferenced.

Oppose I agree with Gary. Let’s consider some articles here that are more promising. Greg L (talk) 02:45, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
