Can somebody change the article name to '100 m'? Bobblewik  (talk) 16:20, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm agree, the name of the article should be "100 m" and not "100m". It can't be moved easily because previously 100 m was a redirection to other page, so an administrator must do the movement. --surueña 08:00, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)
I agree and we need to consider the same thing for 200m and 400m that are also incorrectly named. David D. 22:19, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I notice that some articles put the unit name in full e.g. Athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics - Men's 100 metres. Others use the symbol form. I am beginning to wonder if we should have a policy of using full unit names for article titles by default. Bobblewik  (talk) 21:51, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
